NAMPI: Novel Applications for Performance Monitoring of Industrial Processes
Summary
The project objective was to develop the prototype of a system that implements improvement and optimization techniques applicable in process industries via real-time production monitoring, controller tuning and the use of inferential sensors. The benefit of such system lies in its capacity of aiding the plant personnel to run optimally the production lines.
The developed product improves significantly the economic performance of factories and,
therefore, has a high potential for industrial application. In order to achieve the project goals, the Consortium that is constituted by Ciengis, SA and the University of Coimbra, had a multidisciplinary team with solid scientific know-how, real industrial expertise and real experience in technology transfer. The two entities have a record of successful cooperation in the domain of research and development.
