The system described is able to detect faults using information on the process' structure and behaviour, information on the equipment and expert knowledge. Its integration with the monitoring system facilitates the detection and optimisation of controller actions. The results indicate that the proposed approach achieves high fault detection accuracy based on plant measurements, while the cooperative controller improves the operation of the process.}, language = {en} } @misc{DorneanuZhangRuanetal., author = {Dorneanu, Bogdan and Zhang, Sushen and Ruan, Hang and Heshmat, Mohamed and Chen, Ruijuan and Vassiliadis, Vassilios S. and Arellano-Garc{\´i}a, Harvey}, title = {Big data and machine learning: A roadmap towards smart plants}, series = {Frontiers of Engineering Management}, volume = {9}, journal = {Frontiers of Engineering Management}, doi = {10.1007/s42524-022-0218-0}, pages = {623 -- 639}, abstract = {Industry 4.0 aims to transform chemical and biochemical processes into intelligent systems via the integration of digital components with the actual physical units involved. This process can be thought of as the addition of a central nervous system with a sensing and control monitoring of components and regulating the performance of the individual physical assets (processes, units, etc.) involved. Established technologies central to the digital integrating components are smart sensing, mobile communication, Internet of Things, modelling and simulation, advanced data processing, storage and analysis, advanced process control, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cloud computing, and virtual and augmented reality. An essential element to this transformation is the exploitation of large amounts of historical process data and large volumes of data generated in real-time by smart sensors widely used in industry. Exploitation of the information contained in these data requires the use of advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies integrated with more traditional modelling techniques. The purpose of this paper is twofold: a) to present the state-of-the-art of the aforementioned technologies, and b) to present a strategic plan for their integration toward the goal of an autonomous smart plant capable of self-adaption and self-regulation for short- and long-term production management.}, language = {en} }
