Abstract
A system determines the development status of a mass such as bread dough in a powered mixer by applying a set of expert rules to qualitative variables determined from the elapsed mixing time and instantaneous power flow to the mixer over time. The preferred apparatus includes a monitor for tracking the instantaneous power flow coupled with a computer for determining the variables and applying the rules stored in computer memory.
