Abstract—Product agile customization design is an effective technological measure to win the customers and improve development efficiency. In this paper, on the basis of analyzing the characteristics of product design process and integrating the advantages of artificial neural network (ANN), a novel design method of product agile customization based on ANN is put forward. In the method, ANN models between design demands of different design stages and corresponding product structures are established so as to determine product structural styles quickly by applying artificial neural network. Finally, this method is successfully applied to the general schematic design process of a roll plate machine’s customization, and its effectivity is verified.
