Workshop: IPT Data for Process Control
Call for Participants: Details and Registration
19-20 April 2017: Imperial College, London, UK
Industrial Process Tomography provides rich real-time data that offers the potential to enhance control in many industrial processes, addressing major global needs. Join this Workshop to explore new advances that promise major new IPT applications and find collaborators to participate in this exciting new development. The sandpit workshop aims to define and address challenges in direct use of IPT data in the on-line, real-time control of complex industrial processes. Attendees are invited to identify major challenges and explore approaches to solutions and applications.
Who should attend: Researchers and industrialists interested in creating new opportunities to exploit rich IPT data in process control systems to optimise their performance.
Host: Professor Jonathan Love has a wealth of experience in Process Automation. He is Principal Consultant to BP, author of the acclaimed Process Automation Handbook: A Guide to Theory and Practice (ISBN 978-1846282812), and a contributor to the MSc in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control (PAIC) programme at Imperial College.
