FU-800-3 - Fuzzy Logic


Objectives

Fuzzy logic is a growing technology. Developed to succeed where PID and advanced mathematics have failed, fuzzy logic is an interesting alternative when conventional process control techniques are ineffective.

Who should attend

Anyone who wants to familiarize himself/herself with this new technology.

Schedule

From 8:30 am to 12:00 pm and from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm , each day.
