Abstract

Machine learning (ML) may improve and automate quality control (QC) in injection moulding manufacturing. As the labelling of extensive, real-world process data is costly, however, the use of simulated process data may offer a first step towards a successful implementation. In this study, simulated data was used to develop a predictive model for the product quality of an injection moulded sorting container. The achieved accuracy, specificity and sensitivity on the test set was 99.4%, 99.7% and 94.7%, respectively. This study thus shows the potential of ML towards automated QC in injection moulding and encourages the extension to ML models trained on real-world data.
