Fuzzy Control System for a Meat Drying Process

To obtain a high quality dried product, a precise control of many process parameters is required. In most drying installations it is necessary to control inlet and outlet parameters of a drying agent and material being dried. A control system based on Fuzzy Logic is convenient in controlling drying processes having adequate working regimes. The main objective of this project is to study a control system (fuzzy logic) of drying process of dry cured meat products. In the article the problems appearing during designing and remote (over Wide Area Network) operation of Fuzzy Logic Control System used for meat drying processes are presented. The experimental rig is located at IRTA Monells, Spain, and controlled from Technical University of Lodz, Poland.
