Introduction
Understanding
FuzzyDesigner
FuzzyDesigner is a software package for designing a fuzzy system to
be implemented as a Hierarchical Fuzzy System (HFS). Fuzzy systems
can be used in the following applications:
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Process diagnostics and intelligent monitoring systems
• Artificial intelligence
• Decision-making and forecasting
Hierarchical Fuzzy System
FuzzyDesigner enables application and control engineers to enhance
the functionality of control and decision making systems in various
branches of industry.
FuzzyDesigner includes a library of components you can use to
design a fuzzy system that includes nonlinear input-output mapping.
You can use a hierarchical structure to decompose a complex fuzzy
system into smaller and simpler parts. This reduces the internal
complexity of a fuzzy model and results in fewer fuzzy rules and
provides easier insight into the system operation.
