Systems and methods for tire press temperature control with artificial intelligence

A method for controlling a tire press, comprising:

• introducing a tire into a mold of a tire press, wherein the tire press includes one or more galleys, and wherein each galley of the one or more galleys is in fluid communication with a source of heated fluid;
• heating, via the heated fluid, the tire in the mold;
• measuring, via a temperature sensor, a temperature in the tire press;
• sending a temperature reading based on the measured temperature to a programmable logic controller connected to a control valve and in data communication with the temperature sensor;
• operating, based on the temperature reading, the control valve during a first duty cycle of the tire press to achieve a set point in the tire press during the first duty cycle;
• inputting, into a temperature control module, a performance parameter based on a position of the control valve, the temperature reading, and a first time associated with each of the position of the control valve and the temperature reading;
• and
• determining, at the programmable logic controller, an output to operate the control valve for a subsequent duty cycle based on an output of the temperature control module from the first duty cycle, wherein the output of the temperature control module includes a second time at which to move the position of the control valve.
