Abstract:
The background and motivation for the construction of a fault detection and advisory system for an industrial fermentation process plant are described. Here, the knowledge extracted from the operators (implemented in the form of production rules) is integrated with multivariate data-based methods for fault detection. The industrial benefits arising from this integrated system include: (1) reduced variability, (2) increased mean performance levels, (3) reduced operator-training time and (4) knowledge management in the broader organization.
