摘      要：Intelligent systems have been developed for more than 50 years, however, their practical application in industrial problems is still restrict and, many times, a challenge. One of the reasons for such restriction lies on language ruptures. On the one hand, intelligent systems are characterized by a formal language, as PDDL (Planning Domain Definition Language) for planning domains, while industrial systems have a simple, centralized, closed loop and low-level language, such as Ladder or SFC (Sequential Flow Chart) based on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The applicability of intelligent systems in industrial cases is, however, directly linked to the development of applications that facilitate the integration of these languages. This paper presents an application named Plans Parser for Automated Systems (PlanPAS) that integrates automated planning solution with PLCs. Preliminary results of the proposed structure for the integrator application are showed using OPC in Client / Server approach.
