The paper will discuss the general topic of predictive control techniques for industrial applications, in particular the implementation of Kalman Filter State Estimators in such control schemes. The paper presents the investigation of predictive control methodologies for the control of a model powder blending process. This investigation was carried out in an effort to improve the performance of a...
Vacuum technology is a very widespread area. Nowadays, a broad variety of applications can be found to be using vacuum and vacuum related monitoring. Vacuum profile for different applications can be different, but whatever that may be, monitoring it is an essential part of any such application. Thus, this paper describes the development of one such vacuum profile monitoring system that can be re-purposed...
Increased globalisation and competition are drivers for process analytical technologies (PAT) that enable seamless process control, greater flexibility and cost efficiency in the process industries. The paper will discuss process modelling and control for industrial applications with an emphasis on solutions enabling the real-time data analytics of sensor measurements that PAT demands. This research...
The emergence of trends such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT), Industry 4.0 and Process analytical technology has heightened the demand for real-time, in-line and affordable sensors. The mass flow rate of bulk solids is a parameter that is invaluable to process understanding in many applications. Despite this the availability of affordable sensors is limited. This paper will investigate...
The mass flow measurement of a bulk solid is one of the most common parameters monitored in the materials processing industries and enjoys a wide range of sensory options to accurately quantify the mass flow of a given material. The emergence of Process analytical technology has heightened the demand for such information to be provided to process analysers, in real time and low cost in order to allow...
Increased globalisation and competition are drivers for process analytical technologies (PAT) that enable seamless process control, greater flexibility and cost efficiency in the process industries. This research is carried out in collaboration with a project which aims to introduce an integrated process control approach, embedding novel sensors for monitoring in real time the critical control parameters...
This paper is the result of a literature review focusing on the application of process analytical technology (PAT) for the pharmaceutical industry in conjunction with the quality by design (QBD) framework. PAT and the QBD framework put forward by the FDA, offer a holistic approach to manufacturing pharmaceuticals, emphasising the understanding of process variables on the end products characteristics...
Academic and industrial research in Internet of Things (IoT) has increased over the past several years. The Internet of Things aims to connect physical objects (Things) to the Internet using low power network connectivity that is embedded with sensors. IoT is becoming all-encompassing with “Smart” Cities, Homes, Grid, Transportation, Agriculture & Industry 4.0 just some of the application areas...
Increased globalisation and competition are drivers for process analytical technologies (PAT) that enable seamless process control, greater flexibility and cost efficiency in the process industries. This research aims to introduce an integrated process control approach, embedding novel sensors for monitoring in real time the critical control parameters of key processes in the minerals, ceramics, non-ferrous...
