Abstract
Recent advances in computers and networking technologies and a fast-growing internet community created immense distributed data bases located miles away and having a capability to be updated continuously without the knowledge of the possible and prospective users. The ability to collect and store all kinds of data have outpaced the capabilities of individuals to analyze, summarize, and extract “knowledge” from them. Traditional methods of data analysis, based mainly on the analysts dealing directly with the data, is no longer the best alternative to be used. Although the database technology provided the basic tools for efficient storage and lookup for large data sets, the issues of how to enable engineers to understand large bodies of data remains a difficult problem. Recently, data mining approaches based on artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, machine learning, statistics, expert systems, and data visualization are creating new intelligent tools for automated data mining and knowledge discovery.
All these changes will have a profound impact on current practices used in manufacturing. The way bills of materials are created, products designed and process plans generated will be definitely different with the availability of this new technology. In this paper the nature of these changes and their implication on current practices will be discussed in reference to an intelligent data mining system being developed in the smart engineering system design laboratory.
