SUMMARY:Talk of Prof. Ian K. Craig
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ian K. Craig\nDepartment of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering\n University of Pretoria, South Africa  \nTuesday 2015-11-10 16:00\n IST-Seminar-Room V2.268 - Pfaffenwaldring 9 - Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen  \nAbstract\nThe process industry appears to be evolving towards lights-out process control − processes that\nare fully automated and that require no human operators on-site. This evolution is part of a larger\ntrend where human mental power is increasingly being replaced by digital technologies.\nExamples are given of lights-out process control that is already performed at the base layer\ncontrol level. Vendors and academics have and are busy developing tools also for the autonomous\nmaintenance of advanced process control systems, such as MPC controllers. These tools show promise,\nbut more work is required before complete autonomy can be achieved.\nThe results of a survey on the degree of automation in the minerals processing industry will be\npresented together with a framework for the implementation of lightsout process control and its\nenabling technologies.  \nBiographical Information\nIan Craig received the B.Eng. degree in electronic engineering from the University of Pretoria,\nthe S.M. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Ph.D and M.B.A. degrees\nfrom the University of the Witwatersrand. He heads the control systems group in the Department of\nElectrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at the University of Pretoria. Previously he was\npart of the Measurement Control Division of Mintek where he was involved in the design,\nimplementation and commercialisation of advanced controllers for the mineral processing industry.\nHis research interests include model-based control and optimisation in the process industries, with\nparticular focus on mineral processing; and the modeling and control of infectious diseases, in\nparticular HIV/AIDS and TB.\nIan was Editor-in-Chief of Control Engineering Practice from 2005-2010 and President of the\nInternational Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) from 2011-2014. He is a recipient of the IFAC\noutstanding service award and is a fellow of the South African Academy of Engineering and a\nregistered Professional Engineer in South Africa.
