System for controlling a process for interconnection of optical fibers including fuzzy logic control and optimization architecture

A computerized system for monitoring progress of optical fibers through an interconnection processing apparatus comprising a graphical user interface including a representation of modules in the interconnection processing apparatus and an identification of any optical fiber currently associated with a represented module tagged to that corresponding module.

An apparatus for controlling an optical fiber interconnection processing system including a plurality of modules comprising:

• a supervisory controller in communication with each of the modules, the supervisory controller receiving status information from each module and determining an overall status of the interconnection processing system;
• and
• a handling device delivering optical fibers to the modules in accordance with the overall status, the handling device being in communication with the supervisory controller.
