Abstract

The method of the invention establishes a reference state and a current state for an industrial evolutionary process from physical parameters measured on all the equipment items employing the evaluating process. These two states are compared, parameter by parameter, by resorting to fuzzy logic for classifying the quantities, and a diagnosis is established using expert rules.
