System Performance Improvement By Dynamic Monitoring

There is a growing interest in intelligent maintenance inwhich supervision and its main component - the diagnosis - occupy a fundamental place leaning more towards dynamic monitoring applications and therefore to prognosis. In this sense, the use of artificial intelligence techniques has been under much research. The ability to monitor without modeling the system in an environment or if its subject to modifications and permanent reconfigurations, is of obvious interest for manufacturers.In this paper, we plan to improve the performance of a chemical reactor. We wish to add changes to the operation of the reactor in order to make it more secure by: aAdding a chain that measures temperature, alerting the operator if the threshold is exceeded and requesting the operator to open a valve (or PLC) to open a deluge system that lowers the temperature.
