SISTEMA ESPECIALISTA

Abstract

Artificial intelligence aims to simulate the capabilities of the human intellect, using a computer. The specialist systems were used for the ease in implementing and coding more restricted knowledge bases, applying the knowledge representation with the decision rules and the data that support the decision, generating a standardization of the nomenclature and greater agreement among the specialists. The pelletizing plant produces iron ore pellets, its process requires the use of instrumentation is the study at a theoretical and practical level of the instruments and their scientific characteristics, being “used to continuously or discretely monitor, control, measure, record or indicate the behavior of control variables than that of industrial production processes. Its human specialists are susceptible to unexpected events with the possibility of incorrect variable selection of the pressure, temperature and flow measurement instruments. The study then intends to develop the expert system capable of proposing the best instrument for each application, establishing the smallest measurement scale and reducing the measurement uncertainty as much as possible; it will create a database for a standardized search, improving the pelletizing system. The course completion work followed the method of descriptive and experimental research, with bibliographic review, applied a questionnaire in order to investigate the inaccuracy in measuring the instruments and the program's utility. The program was successfully accepted by the participants. The program concludes with the ability to improve the pelletizing process, standardizing the experts' decision-making.
