SUMMARY:Control Systems Day
DESCRIPTION:Albertus Richter\nAlbertus Richter is an APC engineer at Stone Three\, with 5 years of experience. \nHe graduated in 2021 from the University of Pretoria with a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering then went on to specialise in control systems obtaining his master’s degree\, also at Pretoria. His research focussed on automatic tuning of level controllers in a flotation bank using Bayesian Optimisation. Since then\, he has worked as both a Process Control Engineer and Software Engineer in the Mineral Processing field developing\, installing and maintaining Advanced Process Control systems. \n\n\n \n\nAbstract\nTitle: APC in Practice \nAPC engineers are required to be all-rounders\, needing working knowledge of PLCs\, instrumentation\, mechanical components\, computer networks\, OPC servers and\, finally\, the advanced algorithms. In this talk I will walk through what an APC engineer does on a project: analysing plant data to see what each site requires\, integrating with the plant control system\, commissioning on site\, and maintaining the solution together with site personnel. \nView Full Programme
