Wine Quality Optimized System

Modern wine industry has developed to high integrated levels, traditional management of viticulture and wine making have their limitations. It shows in blindness on decision-making, low efficiency and low quality on spread scientific research achievement. All of these cannot meet the demands of the modernization of viticulture and wine industry. Expert system technique provides a new idea and means to deal with the complicated viticulture and wine industry problem. In order to speed the spread of scientific research achievement and improve wine quality, based on wine quality optimized theory, gathering and analyzing knowledge about viticulture and quality control knowledge of wine and experience of field experts, use objected-oriented systems analysis and knowledge representation technique, establish database, knowledge and model repositories system. On the basis of these researches, use objected-oriented program design method to develop Wine Quality Optimized System (WQOS) aiming to realize the whole control of wine quality from farm fields to the dinner table.The following functions have been realized: via production guide to determine the direction of viticulture and wine making; via assessment of atmosphere suitability to determine whether atmosphere factors can meet the needs of grape growth and grape quality, then decide to grow or not grow grape; via consultation of vineyard management methods, prevention and control of plant diseases and insect pests, grape maturity control and harvest ways consultation to assist users to manage vineyard and ensure the quality optimized of wine grape; via sampling test, data record and warning to determine time to harvest; Via the assessment of wine grape materials quality to assist decision making on accept or not, if accept, then give the suitable wine making type, aroma type and wine making techniques et al; via guides of different wine making techniques and by sampling test and warning to ensure wine making quality; via establishing suitable ageing techniques and consultation system, assist to control wine aging quality and ensure the optimization of wine ageing with the help of aging sampling test and warning; via suitable stabilization management,inspection and bottling management to ensure wine bottling quality; via consultation of suitable storage and transport methods to ensure wine quality; via correct matches of wine and food and wine service consultation to extend wine quality control to the segment of wine service and consumption.Most knowledge repositories of WQOS have the same one-dimensional data structure, a kind of objected-oriented data structure, which make the maintenance and expansion of knowledge repositories become easier. Knowledge engineers and field experts who have the purview of edit can directly amend the knowledge repositories in the user interfaces without changing any program, or modify knowledge tables to change the relationships of different levels of knowledge. Adopted "class" and "ActiveX Control" to increase the consistent and friendly of system interface, and made the operation more convenient and agility.
