Intelligent Process Control by Means of Expert Systems

Objetivo

The objective of this project is to develop a set of modular building
blocks, combining new already available technologies, which can be
tailored and assembled to perform a range of control system functions
in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs). Typical
application areas will be process control and online automatic vision
systems for quality control in the textile, electronic, food, metal
and automotive industries.
The principal tasks are to :
- develop a fully automatic vision system for online product
inspection, capable of performing ultra-high-speed hardware-based
feature identification and contact-free measurement
- develop a process information system with feedback and visualisation
capabilities, using colour graphics, process diagrams, product feature
graphic enhancement and an information hierarchy ranked by urgency and
importance
- develop self-learning, self-initiating expert systems working with
real-time process and product data and with statistically derived
conclusions to provide suggestions for improved control, diagnoses of
product defects and prognoses of future system behaviour, either on
request or on the system's own initiative
- integration and validation of the prototype system in a real
manufacturign industry environment.
The following commercial products are expected to be developed using
the results of the project :
- a rapid, high-resolution defect checker, capable of handling a wide
image field, with possible applications in the quality control of
lacquering, textile printing, PCB checking, etc
- a contact-free, high-accuracy measuring system, generally applicable
to a range of vision systems
- a process monitoring and supervisory system controlled by an expert
system.
