Title :
Integrated information system for monitoring, scheduling and control applied to batch chemical processes
Abstract :
The effective operation of the batch processing based enterprise requires exploitation of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) developments and the adaptation of these developments for the specific features of batch operations. The aim of the article is to present a general overview of a global methodology which allows one to find a practical solution for the control of a multipurpose batch chemical plant. A case study carried out in a pilot plant for the simulation of batch chemical processes is also described
