Abstract
A control technique based on Reinforcement Learning is proposed for controlling thermal sterilization of canned food. Without using an a-priori mathematical model of the process, the proposed Model-Free Learning Controller (MFLC) aims to follow a temperature profile during two stages of the process: first heating by manipulating the saturated steam valve and then cooling by opening the water valve) by learning. From the defined state-action space, the MFLC agent learns the environment interacting with the process batch to batch and then using a tabular state-action mapping. The results show the advantages of the proposed technique for this kind of processes.
