Fuzzy logic control for reducing drying-induced corn breakage

A fuzzy logic control system for reducing drying-induced breakage of corn for a continuous crossflow grain dryer was developed. This system makes control decisions for heater setting and discharge rotor speed based on the underlying relationships between the measurable process variables and the outlet corn moisture and breakage levels as well as on the human operator's experience in dryer control.
