A study of fault diagnosis and recovery techniques for manufacturing systems

The paper describes a framework for the development of a diagnosismethodology for industrial manufacturing systems. The aim of the project is tosupport technicians that supervise the manufacturing plant to identify the causesof faults and failures on the machine and, in particular, to indicate a procedurefor the recovery of its working condition. The requirements described in the paperhave been defined giving particular care to the peculiarities of the applicationdomain, in order to allow the design of a powerful, but easy to use, diagnosticsystem for industrial technician
