Advanced autonomous model-based operation of industrial process systems (Autoprofit): Technological developments and future perspectives

In this development, challenging research questions have been addressed in the areas of on-line performance monitoring and diagnosis, least costly experiment design, automated adaptation of models, and auto-tuning, and new fundamental techniques have been developed. Although a full fledge and industrially proven (semi-)automated system is not yet realised, parts of the on-line system have been implemented and validated on real life cases provided by the industrial partners, showing that the formulated objectives are within reach.
