A Modification Depth First Search (DFS) Algorithm for Troubleshoot Rotating Equipment Diagnosis

Abstract

Rotating Equipment has a role in the industrial production process. There are times when the equipment that is being operated has trouble. Operators have difficulty dealing with problems of rotating equipment due to limited knowledge. To solve this problem we must have an  expert with knowledge and experience. Based on this, the problem is building an expert system application to diagnose troubleshoot on rotating equipment which aims to transfer the knowledge that an expert has into the computer so that operator can find out what problems occur. This paper use  Depht First Search (DFS) method, namely inward tracing techniques and Forward Chaining, namely the inference method that uses reasoning where to test a hypothesis starts from a fact. This system is equipped with an expert menu for knowledge management, so that experts can add, edit, and delete knowledge. The results showed that DFS and Forward Chaining are very suitable for diagnosing troubleshooting on Rotating Equipment. Based on the reasoning of the experts in their field and adjusted to the symptoms experienced by equipment so that the type of damage is found. It can also assist operators in diagnosing troubleshoot on Rotating Equipment so that operators can take preventive action to prevent further damage to the equipment.
