Methods And Systems For Controlling Winding Machines

A system comprising:

• a winding machine to wind a material onto a target
• a storage to store the material;
• a buffer system to buffer the material between the storage and the target;
• and a communication port to receive a number of status signals, each of the status signals including a certain indication for a current process status of a material flow of the material;
• a processor using a neural network to provide a number of output signals to control the storage and/or the buffer system using the received status signals as input;
• and
• a controller to control the storage and/or the buffer system using the provided output signals.

A method for controlling a winding machine for winding a material onto a target, the winding machine including a storage to store the winding material and a buffer system to buffer the material between the storage and the target, the method comprising:

• receiving a number of status signals, each of the status signals including a certain indication for a current process status of a material flow of the material;
• feeding the received status signals into a neural network to provide a number of output signals to control the storage (210) and/or the buffer system;
• and
• controlling the storage and/or the buffer system using the provided output signals.
