iRESS

iRESS comprises Real Time Expert System Shell, Learning Engine & Failure Forecast Engine, and is an integrated software tool which can be used by system developers and domain experts to develop Knowledge-based systems. This tool allows creation of Knowledge Base (Hybrid KB), by encoding an expert's knowledge as a set of rules and frames and does inference using built in backward or forward chaining Inference Engine. The tool is designed to interface with external SCADA systems via plug-in modules like OPC DA 2.0 and OSI Soft PI interface. Can be used for alarm diagnosis and failure prediction. Applications developed with iRESS are used in problem-solving and decision-making in a particular domain.

Use Cases
