  • Practical Implementation Guidelines for a Process Control System

    A lecture designed to give an overview of the control system design process. It will cover topics that give insight into the requirements, objectives and outputs of control system design as implemented in industry, touching on the interfaces that the control engineer has with various disciplines and framing the project lifecycle of a production plant […]

  • From Engineering Principles to Real-World Benefits

    The presentation will focus on how sound engineering theory is incorporated into design and translated into real-world benefits. The focus will be on case-studies where proper design led to demonstrable impact. The solutions to problems encountered on regulatory and advanced controllers have in many cases been well analysed. I.e., sound theoretical principles characterise these problems and therefore […]
