Claim 0:
1. A method for manufacturing process control with a controller, the method comprising:
determining a state of the manufacturing process of a manufacturing plant;
setting a manipulated variable of a controlled device of the manufacturing process, the setting being based on an action output by a reinforcement machine-learned network in response to input of the state;
incorporating a constraint of the manufacturing process in the reinforcement machine learned network for addressing a safety and/or operational limitation of a component of the manufacturing plant; and
operating the manufacturing plant with the manipulated variable of the manufacturing process as set,
wherein the reinforcement machine learned network is subject to a learning process by selecting action in response to the state to maximize a reward function, adding a noise according to a learning rate, and executing a noise adjusted action, wherein the constraint is applied to limit the noise adjusted action.
