Digital Analytical Sciences
(2019)
Based on inductive reasoning scientific inquiry in Analytical Sciences has a long tradition. The talk addresses in which way the digital transformation will change the scientific paradigm in Analytical Sciences to a data-driven discipline. Three main areas, integration, instruments, and methods, are discussed in their transformation through machine learning and other digital tools. Finally, some shortcomings and pitfalls in the deployments of algorithmic shortcuts are illustrated.
Separation technology as a sub-discipline of thermal process engineering is one of the most critical steps in the production of chemicals, essential for the quality of intermediate and end products.
The discipline comprises the construction of facilities that convert raw materials into value-added products along the value chain. Conversions typically take place in repeated reaction and separation steps—either in batch or continuous processes. The end products are the result of several production and separation steps that are not only sequentially linked, but also include the treatment of unused raw materials, by-products and wastes. Production processes in the process industry are particularly susceptible to fluctuations in raw materials and other influences affecting product quality. This is a challenge, despite increasing fluctuations, to deliver targeted quality and simultaneously meet the increasing dynamics of the market, at least for high value fine chemicals. In order to survive successfully in a changed environment, chemical companies must tread new paths. This includes the potential of digital technologies. The full integration and intelligent networking of systems and processes is progressing hesitantly. This contribution aims to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalization in thermal process engineering by introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes.
Chemical and pharmaceutical companies have to find new paths to survive successfully in a changing environment, while also finding more flexible ways of product and process development to bring their products to market more quickly – especially high-quality high-end products like fine chemicals or pharmaceuticals. The potential of digital technologies belongs to these.
A current approach uses flexible and modular chemical production units, which can produce different high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short downtimes between campaigns and reduce the time to market of new products. At the same time, we need to move towards knowledge-based production that takes into account all essential equipment, process and control data from plants and laboratories and makes valuable expertise available and transferable. The potential of data from production together with its contextual information is often not yet consistently used today for a comprehensive understanding of production.
By giving examples this paper outlines a possible more holistic approach to digitalisation and the use of machine-based methods in the production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals through the introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes.
Companies in the chemical industry have to tread new paths in order to survive successfully in a changed environment. This includes, in particular, the potential of digital technologies. The full integration and intelligent networking of systems and processes is making slow progress.
This talk is a tribute to the field level. It wants to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalisation of the process industry based on smart sensors, actuators and communication and provides information on current technical perspectives, such as the "one-network paradigm", ad-hoc networking, edge computing, FPGAs, virtual machines or blockchain. These give smart sensors, actuators and communication a completely new perspective.
