Abstract

This paper develops an Internet-based fuzzy control system for an industrial process plant to ensure the remote and fuzzy control in cement factories in Algeria. The remote process consists of control, diagnosing alarms occurs, maintaining and synchronizing different regulation loops. Fuzzy control of the kiln ensures that the system be operational at all times, with minimal downtime. Internet technology ensures remote control. The system reduces downtimes and can guided by operators in the main control room or via Internet.

Highlights

  • Introduction”As the complexity of a system increases, our ability to make precise and yet significant statements about its behavior diminishes until a threshold is reached beyond which precision and significance (or relevance) become almost mutually exclusive characteristics” 1

Summary

Introduction

”As the complexity of a system increases, our ability to make precise and yet significant statements about its behavior diminishes until a threshold is reached beyond which precision and significance (or relevance) become almost mutually exclusive characteristics” 1. Fuzzy logic is a method to formalize the human capacity of imprecise reasoning, or approximate reasoning. Cement industry is one of the process systems trying to be developed In this case, growing competition forces cement factories to reduce costs, continually increase productivity and quality, reduce the time required for marketing products, and develop technologies and clean production processes based on optimal use of raw materials and energy. To achieve these aims, it is necessary to continuously optimize processes, modernize, and develop the systems and facilities. In order to avoid human errors and inaccuracies during manual data collection from different parts of the installation, it is wise to avoid wasting human resources through the automation of certain procedures, ensure performance and uniform documentation for all production facilities, provide evaluation reports required and keep records of important data for historical analysis
