Knowledge Representation and Planning Strategies for Batch Plant Operating Procedure Synthesis
(1996) AIChE- Abstract
- Synthesis of operating procedures for batch plants involves systematic generation of step by step instructions which the operator can implement to manage the batch plant safely and optimally. This is a labor and knowledgeintensive task. It often takes weeks of effort by experts to prepare a clear and error free set of instructions even for a moderately complex plant. If this process is automated, it would be possible to develop operating procedures and control sequences more efficiently and accurately. This paper proposes a knowledge-based framework for this problem. The proposed framework has been implemented in Gensym’s object-oriented expert system environment called G2. The salient features of the framework have been tested on a... (More)

This paper proposes a knowledge-based framework for this problem. The proposed framework has been implemented in Gensym’s object-oriented expert system environment called G2. The salient features of the framework have been tested on a real-life pharmaceutical case study and the results are found to compare favorably with the operating procedures that were developed by the experts.
