Abstract

This paper presents the corrective process control system for achieving a target quality level in glass melting processes. Since automated data collection devices would monitor and log process attributes that are assumed to correlate to a quality level in the glass melting process, appropriate process control logics utilizing the collected data are definitely needed. In this paper, an evolutionary algorithm based search logic is newly proposed. The objective of the proposed logic is to find the best process condition composed of the process attributes which can generate the target quality level. The proposed logic tries to find the best process condition that needs to satisfy the following two criteria: 1) a process condition should require minimal changes from the current setting of the process attributes; and 2) a process condition can generate the exact or closest value against the target quality level. A case study and a developed process control system are presented.
