Among other fields, automation is used in biotechnology, in particular for chemical and biotechnological processes in mini-reactors (several millilitres), large reactors (several hundred litres), and fermentation, drying, pasteurisation, extraction and mixing systems.
Activities in the automation field
- Process instrumentation (sensors, actuators, etc.)
- Processing and transmission of analogue and digital signals (filtering, sampling, amplification, transformation, etc.)
- Design and realisation of different components and systems (electrical and mechanical components, electrical wiring, electrical cabinets, etc.)
- Choice, design, development and realisation of control systems (hardware and software)
- Identification and modelling of dynamic processes – control engineering (PID controllers, adaptive control, fuzzy logic, etc.)
- Programming of different platforms (PCs, programmable logic controllers, signal processors, etc.)
- Programming languages (Assembler, C, LabVIEW, etc.)
- Automation and control of chemical and biotechnological processes
- Monitoring and storage of data (databases)
- Online and offline monitoring
- Distant monitoring and control (via Ethernet)
