Tiivistelmä
Human is an intelligent creature – intelligent in design and behaviour. From the human first second on the earth, he is trying to collect the knowledge and use it for surviving and extending his own kind. Human knowledge collection is all based on his observa-tions and discovering for his own environment, the information with time turns to be the human experience which is the main sort of his intelligence of dealing with different situations.
Expert system is one branch of artificial intelligence science which the human in-spired from his own being. Human always tries to inherit his own experiences to the next generations. But with the vast wide spreading of the information in the present century, a new need imposed itself to emulate the human experience and behaviour in a similar way; from this point expert computer systems have been invented.
Expert system is mainly transforming the human experiences into software forms. To act in a similar manner the human behaves. The expert system is always collecting a huge amount of information from its domain, and transform them to knowledge, using those rules the human assigned based on his own experiences.
In industry we try to apply the same concept to have intelligent automated system, but for this purpose; all the information should be in an easy form of industrial language and follow a reliable industrial protocol to communicate in an efficient way.
As the internet is the main source of the data on our planet currently, it was so con-venient to structure all the industrial data in same language the internet use and follow similar communication protocols. From industrial point of view a web based monitoring systems – should be the base of information for the mentioned expert system.
During this master thesis we achieve this goal, by dividing the problem into two main sub problems.
The first part is to implement a web based monitoring system on PLC controlled produc-tion line made by FESTO and used for teaching purpose in TUT - Tampere University of Technology – FASTory lab facilities.
The second part is to design and implement a convenient industrial expert system to process this web based monitored information for managing from the business point of view
