Development of an innovative Autonomous Model Development Tool (AMDT) for boosting manufacturing process competencies

总体愿景是开发一种新的自主模型开发工具（AMDT），该工具将消除现有技术的缺陷，以充分代表复杂和不稳定的生产链沿着过程内部和过程之间的复杂因果关系。这将涉及开发技术，结构的因果关系作为自主控制网络使用的基因转录调控网络的基本应用原理和生物免疫系统的自适应特性。在实现其目标的过程中，该项目将超越现有的基于人工智能的“黑盒”系统，这些系统不使用基于真实的过程关系，容易出现相关性退化。好处是过程控制的响应性和有效性的逐步变化，以及大大提高成本，质量，交付和环境可持续过程能力。学术合作伙伴的EPSRC资助的自主研究将在AMDT内使用。

The overall vision is to develop a novel Autonomous Model Development Tool (AMDT) that will remove the failings of existing technology to fully represent the complex causal relationships within and between processes along complex and volatile production chains. This will involve the development of techniques that structure the causal relationships as autonomous control networks using the basic application principles of gene transcription regulatory control networks and the adaptive properties of biological immune systems. In achieving its aim the project will go beyond existing AI-based ‘black box' systems prone to correlation-degeneration through not using real causal-based process relationships. Benefits are step-changes in the responsiveness and effectiveness of process control, and greatly improved cost, quality, delivery and environmental sustainable process competencies. Academic partner’s EPSRC-funded autonomous research will be used within the AMDT.
