Intelligent Control System of a Real Industrial Process

Abstract

Industrial systems are difficult to control and supervise efficiently because of the complexity of the production process. The aim is to automatically control in real-time as an alternative for operators as possible and highlight the importance of machine learning in the field of industry. Integrating SVM into the industrial supervision system in the cement factory (SCIMAT) permits the classification of different measurements coming from sensors to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) that indicates when the process is in good functioning or bad indicating that a default has occurred. These measurements are classified after training in three classes of level (low, medium, and high) that are classified in their turn into two classes (good and bad functioning). The three classes present the inputs of the fuzzy controllers. Based on this classification, the PLC makes orders for industrial equipment. Then a regression of variation of measurements in real-time is carried out to predict the good or the bad functioning of the production line. In conclusion, the proposed approach innovates the complex supervision system to learn how to control and preserve the habitual linguistic language used by operators, react in the right way, and prevent critical situations.
