Knowledge-based supervisory control system of a fish processing workcell; Part II: Implementation and evaluation
A laboratory workcell has been developed for fish cutting. The workcell, which uses a variety of sensors, actuators, and hardware for component interface and control, operates with the help of a dedicated supervisory control system. A layered architecture has been used for the system. It has several knowledge-based modules for carrying out tasks such as workcell monitoring, controller tuning, workcell conditioning, and product quality assessment. Part I of the paper described the workcell and the development of the supervisory control system [de Silva, C.W. and Wickramarachchi, N., 1998. Knowledge-Based Supervisory Control System of a Fish Processing Workcell; Part I: System Development. Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, This Issue]. Implementation of the overall system, including a versatile user interface, is presented here. Also, the performance of the knowledge-based supervisory system is studied through experiments of fish cutting.
