YPP110A? YPK112A 3HAC17346-1/01 使用人工智能自主控制化工廠

橫河電機公司和JSR公司宣布人工智能被用于自動運行化工廠35天的現(xiàn)場測試的成功結(jié)束，這是世界上第一次*1。該測試證實了強化學習人工智能可以安全地應用于實際工廠，并證明了該技術(shù)可以控制超出現(xiàn)有控制方法(PID控制)能力的操作*2/裝甲運兵車*3)并且到目前為止必須根據(jù)工廠人員的判斷來手動操作控制閥。這里描述的倡議被選入日本經(jīng)濟產(chǎn)業(yè)省推進先進工業(yè)安全補貼計劃的2020項目。

過程工業(yè)中的控制跨越廣泛的領(lǐng)域，從煉油和石化產(chǎn)品到高性能化學品、纖維、鋼鐵、制藥、食品和水。所有這些都需要化學反應和其他要求極高可靠性的元素。

在該現(xiàn)場測試中，AI解決方案成功應對了復雜的條件，確保產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量，將蒸餾塔中的液體保持在適當?shù)乃?，同時最大限度地利用廢熱作為熱源。這樣做穩(wěn)定了質(zhì)量，獲得了高產(chǎn)*4，并且節(jié)約了能源。雖然雨、雪和其他天氣條件是可能通過引起大氣溫度突然變化來破壞控制狀態(tài)的重要因素，但生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品符合嚴格的標準，并且已經(jīng)裝運。此外，由于只生產(chǎn)高質(zhì)量的產(chǎn)品，生產(chǎn)不合格產(chǎn)品時產(chǎn)生的燃料、勞動力、時間和其他損失都被消除了。

In this field test, the AI solution successfully dealt with the complex conditions needed to ensure product quality and maintain liquids in the distillation column at an appropriate level while making maximum possible use of waste heat as a heat source. In so doing it stabilized quality, achieved high yield*4, and saved energy. While rain, snow, and other weather conditions were significant factors that could disrupt the control state by causing sudden changes in the atmospheric temperature, the products that were produced met rigorous standards and have since been shipped. Furthermore, as only good quality products were created, fuel, labor, time and other losses that occur when off-spec products are produced were all eliminated.?
