Abstract

We discuss the formulation and results of a simple backpropagation approach to the control of wave soldering of printed circuit cards. Small lot sizes and a large number of different circuit card designs have complicated selection of the tunable process settings at the large manufacturer we worked with. Use of a neural network predictive model results in improved precision relative to the currently used multivariate linear model.
