Process Control and Optimization (CESPE Academy)
Description
This course addresses the question of how we can keep pharmaceutical processes in optimal manufacturing conditions while ensuring versatility, resilience and quality of end product. Pharmaceutical control systems that are sustainable and balance the ecological footprint with ensuring access to high quality products and maintaining profitable supply chains. This question is part of the larger (international) challenge to ensure sustainable demand and production patterns, by improving environmental and societal sustainability and increasing the circularity in pharmaceutical production systems. This course is given by experts from the Dynamical Systems and Control lab and will provide interactive learning and real-world applications, allowing participants to directly apply the new knowledge in their own context. This course is divided into two separate modules:
- Module 1: Process Identification:
Fundamentals of Process Identification
Understanding Process Dynamics
Identification at Operator Level
Systems identification from relay experiments
- Module 2: PID-based process control
PID based control for process optimization
Auto-tuning methods for PID design
Frequency response design for PID design
Advanced process control methodologies
Target Audience
This course is intended for professionals, researchers, and PhD students in pharma, engineering, and related fields with no experience or expertise in the topic, or who want a refreshment on the basic principles.
