Ga. Vagelatos et al., Incremental fuzzy supervisory controller design for optimizing the injection molding process, EXPER SY AP, 20(2), 2001, pp. 207-216
In this paper a newly developed fuzzy supervisory control system for the in
jection molding process is presented. The system performs automatic tuning
of the machine operating points and reduces the amount of human effort need
ed for a complete multi-objective optimization of the machine settings. The
optimal tuning is facilitated by a priority policy based on the significan
ce of defects. The experimental results obtained from the application of th
e proposed fuzzy control architecture to a real industrial environment were
very encouraging. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
