Abstract
A fuzzy expert system uses fuzzy logic control,1 which is based on a "superset" of Boolean logic that has been extended to handle the concept of "partial truth." It replaces mathematical models with models that are built from a number of rules with fuzzy variables such as output temperature, and fuzzy terms such as extremely hot, fairly cold. A fuzzy expert system has been implemented in a plastic moulding shop in Australia for monitoring dimensional quality of output products. Because these plastic parts are used as assembly components for production of gear boxes, their dimensional accuracy is of utmost importance. This paper presents the implementation of this monitoring system adopting a graphical and non-mathematical approach, and examines the application of fuzzy control systems in quality control. Practical examples with descriptions of how the fuzzy rules are shown and the operations of the fuzzy inference engine are covered.
