'Fuzzy' logic
Researchers explore agricultural applications of new computer
software technology
From CATI Publication #950101

A CSU, Fresno Industrial Technology professor is exploring
agricultural applications of a new technology that mimics human
thought patterns in controlling industrial equipment operations.
Professor Matthew Yen's research is focused on the
application of "fuzzy logic" in the control of equipment such as heaters,
motors, pumps, valves and sprinklers used in the food processing
industry and other automated agricultural operations.
In order to automate these processes, temperature, motor
speed, liquid level, pressure, humidity, flowrate and other variables
must be constantly monitored and adjusted according to prescribed
schedule. Simple on/off controls may overshoot, undershoot or
fluctuate around the desired setting values. "Fuzzy logic
control enables the system to tightly follow the control prescription in a
smooth manner," Yen said. "It is an emerging technology widely used
by the appliance industry and process industries in Japan."
The concept fuzzy logic controls was first proposed in 1965 by
L. A. Zadeh and is based on the "fuzzy estimation" or "chunking" of
human thinking rather than precise mathematical computation. A
control system based on fuzzy logic has the following advantages: 1) It
is easy to implement since it uses "if-then" logic instead of
sophisticated differential equations; 2) It is understandable by people
who do not have process control backgrounds; and 3) Software and
hardware tools are readily available for applying this
technology. Generally speaking, the procedures of fuzzy
logic control are these: A set of input data from an array of sensors is
fed into the control system. The values of input variables undergo a
process termed as "fuzzification," which converts the discrete values
into a range of values. Fuzzified inputs are evaluated against a set of
production rules. Whichever production rules are selected will generate
a set of outputs. Output data are "defuzzified" as distinctive control
commands. Professor Yen has received seed money
from the California Agricultural Technology Institute to explore
potential uses of fuzzy logic in agriculture industries. In an initial project
to demonstrate application of the technology, Yen guided an industrial
technology student in developing a prototype temperature control
simulation unit. The researchers used FIDE software by Aptronix Inc.
and an MC68HC11 microcontroller provided by Motorola
Inc. Besides temperature controls, fuzzy logic has been
implemented or proposed for many other processes in food technology,
namely aseptic processing; diagnosis of principle causes of breakage
during drying; determination of key ingredients for new products;
evaluation of the "doneness" of beef steak; intelligent irrigation;
automated feeding systems; and so on. "The bottom line
objective is to develop a robust and intelligent automation system." Yen
stated. Professor Yen is interested in input and/or support
from the private industry on other potential applications of fuzzy logic.
