Hi all.
A message from Walt Boyes bring up a question which was never clearly answered by the gents who were working at it...
Not long ago I was interfacing a SCADA system to an SQL database for the purpose of supplying line process information to a so-called Intelligent
application software.
This app was giving operators instructions on liquid metal bath alloys addition. It was taking various parameters from the lab, the line and from
past production data to intlligently suggest wich additives to add into the bath ...
After a few days I realized that all it was doing (the software) was to take various data from the DB and depending on the lab result, give instructions.
The logic for those results where modified from weeks to weeks to obtain a better result ...
This was an "Intelligent System" ...
My question is "Where does Intelligence begins" in controls ...
