Increasing product quality by implementation of a complex automation system for industrial processes

Abstract

Modern control methods are suitable for increasing production capabilities of industrial enterprises by employing information technologies, which are often used for modernization of technological processes without the need of acquiring new equipment. Therefore, automation of the industrial processes is one of the most important directions of the technological progress, as it leads to improvement and modernization. A technological process of tellurium production includes a number of stages, which require automatic regulation of many parameters with a high degree of precision. In this work, we analyze and propose a unified concept of application of modern means of automation that can be used to build a three-level hierarchical control system intended for assuring the product quality. © 2012 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
