A novel comparative model proposal for hospital pneumatic systems

Abstract

Hospital pneumatic systems are of great importance in terms of efficient use of resources and early diagnosis of diseases. Each sample is transported at a constant and specific speed/pressure in existing pneumatic systems. This study aims to provide pressure/speed control according to the type of material being transported, prevent deterioration during transportation, and make a positive contribution to system users. We have proposed a new control model for hospital pneumatic systems. This hospital pneumatic system is modeled using fuzzy logic, adaptive neural network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and artificial neural network (ANN) methods. The parameters affecting the performance of the system are determined by experimental trials carried out. Fuzzy logic, ANFIS, and ANN models are compared using the regression coefficient (R2), Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) metrics to determine the most suitable modeling method for the system. As a result of this study, carrying the pressure value (velocity) ideal for the sample type will increase the energy efficiency of the system.
