Simulation-based Knowledge Acquisition for Intelligent Belt Conveyor Monitoring

摘要

The development of knowledge-based systems (KBS) enables accumulated experience and knowledge to be applied to the intelligent monitoring in the field of large-scale belt conveyor systems.The first step of building knowledge bases in a KBS is referred to the knowledge acquisition (KA).KA from domain experts and field experiments has often been considered as the most difficult task and time-consuming process.This paper introduces a methodology for knowledge-based intelligent belt conveyor monitoring that uses simulation to speed up and simplify the process of KA.Results of laboratory experiments show the efficiency and the accuracy of the introduced simulation-based KA method.
