In the field of manufacturing process planning and initial operation machines, machine parameters are often provided from few either expensive time-consuming experiments or faster but less accurate numerical simulations. Another option is to use learning predict qualities based on parameters. Thereby, transfer can overcome gap between real simulation data. We evaluated two different approaches artificial neural networks, namely soft-start random initialization, in a injection molding...
