Abstract

See full text

Aspects describe creation of autonomous control for a composite curing process. Other aspects describe an intelligent industrial controller that can utilize a control model and a supervisory model to autonomously control the composite curing process. The control model can include intelligent agents corresponding to the physical elements of the composite curing process arranged in a hierarchical manner. For example, an autoclave agent can correspond to the autoclave, and the autoclave agent can be superior to a plurality of thermocouple agents corresponding to a plurality of thermocouples in a one-to-one fashion. The supervisory model can include diagnostic aspects for the composite curing process. For example, the supervisory model can be a finite element model of heat distribution on the surface of a composite material inside the autoclave. Based on a comparison between temperatures from the thermocouple agents and results of the supervisory mode, a malfunctioning thermocouple can be determined and eliminated.
