Shooting-inspired Fuzzy Logic Expert System for Ready-mixed Concrete Plants
Original language description
With a goal of reducing the overall production process variability of Ready-mixed concrete (RMC) and decrease production costs, a fuzzy logic-based expert system was developed. Inspired on shooting sports, the system guides the plant chief technician byrecommending the actions to be taken to reduce variability. Such guidance is based on the evaluation of the compressive strength and coefficient of variation results from the samples molded by those responsible for testing concrete. The system was testedin a RMC plant with monthly production of about 3300 m3. The results indicate that no major interventions are necessary for the investigated plant; however, training is likely recommended for some of the staff so as to attain a lower overall variability. These conclusions are in agreement with the technician?s interpretation, proving that the system is satisfactory to be applied in the process. Additionally, a cost analysis was performed, and the results show that a potential reduction
