Abstract

The paper presents an Intelligent CAD system for Fermentation Process Control (FPC-ICAD) based on a hierarchical architecture possessing three levels: real-time supervision level, CAD level and learning level. The aims of the learning are mainly composed of the aspects fermentation process modelling, determination of appropriate control and estimation methods, determination of the corresponding parameters and fermentation monitoring through measurement and software management. Three independent, but interactive software packages allow user to organize his system for different purposes: on-line control system (with only supervision), off-line CAD as a teaching software, off-line intelligent CAD (CAD+learning package), and on-line intelligent CAD.
