Abstract—Tread winding technology is widely used in the process of tire molding. Technologists use traditional process of developing new products with tread winding line relying only on personal experience for operations like manually layering of the new product tread outline. In this way, the rubber distribution stability of each layer will be affected, prolong development time, and increase the development cost and rejection rate. In this paper, we propose an intelligent layering expert system with technology expert experience based on the LabVIEW by analyzing the mass of data and building a mathematical model of automatic layering rules. In practical application, this system reduces the shortcomings of the traditional development by shortening the impact of the production research, development cycle and reducing the development cost and hence provision of good economic benefits.
