The balance control of an apparel assembly line relies heavily on the shop-floor expert s knowledge, experience and intuition. The effectiveness of a decision depends on the subjective and ad hoc assessment of production line supervisors. Small order size and frequent changes of styles can make the matter even worse for optimal production control. With the recent development and adoption of real-time shop-floor data capture systems, real-time production statistics and progress reports can be generated to assist production line supervisors in line balancing control and bottleneck elimination. However, their deeisions may not be consistent even under similar conditions and may thus be non-optimal. 

Specifications for PA systems and intelligent expert on-line systems, real time or otherwise, are as plentiful as the number of system designers/manufacturers. The more expensive they are, the more they are likely to be complex, with an intentional tendency to exclude competition.

A Real-Time Expert System for Process Control... 

In the real-time application of expert systems, a number of design considerations, beyond those usually considered in expert systems, become important. Execution efficiency is a prime consideration. 

Expert systems have been investigated for 20 years. The implementation of expert systems is now being undertaken on a widespread basis, due to the availability of hardware and software tools which alleviate the "knowledge-engineer bottleneck", allowing cost effective implementation. In a similar way, real-time applications of expert systems require tools to allow straightforward implementation. We have presented a software/hardware structure which supports knowledge-base capture and real-time inference for process applications. 

The scope of evolutionary simulation is presently largely limited by the size and time problems. Its force fields are mostly expert systems and are far from a faithful reproduction of real physical effects - think of the wrong description of short-range Coulombic forces resulting from locating formal charges at atomic nuclei,... 

Expert systems are computer programs that simulate the decision-making process of human experts. The hallmark of expert systems is that decisions are based on heuristics (rules of thumb) when data is incomplete or there is not enough time to consider all possibilities [19]. An expert system can be a set of IF-THEN rules in FORTRAN, or it can be a written in one of the languages designed for expert systems, such as LISP. Expert systems can be used off-line to aid in cure cycle selection, or they can be used as real-time advisers or controllers. 

One of the most widely used forms of simulation is that for operator training. So far operator training simulators have tended to use greatly simplified models in order to ensure real time performanee and most effort has been invested in the development of user interfaee. A further aspeet of the extended applieation of simulation for operator assistanee eould well be aehieved in eonjunetion with expert systems.

Dynamic Emergency Management — Real-Time Expert System (RTXPS)... 

Real-Time Expert System (RTXPS) is a system designed for on-site dynamic emergency management in the case of technological and environmental hazards, including early warning for events such as toxic or oil spills, floods, and tsunamis.
