    The article describes the known state-of-the-art of knowledge-based diagnostic systems in manufacturing. It relays, furthermore, practical experience in the development of knowledge-based systems and gives an example of a developed system for the automobile industry. This particular system is able to diagnose faults on a production line with 21 stations for body assembly. The system can be operated without any special computer knowledge or knowledge of artificial intelligence. Finally, an outlook on the further development-potential of diagnostic systems and their integration in computerintegrated manufacturing systems is given.

    The linking of information technology and production technology in computer-integrated, flexible manufacturing systems permits a high technology to develop, placing new requirements on development and design, production planning and control, assembly and manufacturing, maintenance and quality assurance. The increasing variety of different types of knowledge is only perceived by a small number of highly qualified experts with great experience. Ways must therefore be sought for relaying this knowledge to less experienced employees. The development of such systems in a form which is suitable for practical use requires intensive further development of the solutions from artificial intelligence research. Appropriate forms of representation must be constructed for various technical tasks. This work corresponds to the concept of the continous information flow in computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM).
