Data-driven Process Control – Part 3: Controlling System Behaviour
This third and last part of the article series on data-driven process control provides an introduction to approaches for controlling systems. The focus is on the classic “model-predictive-control” scheme, which is combined with the results for system modeling from the second article to form a purely data-driven control strategy.
Data-driven Process Control – Part 2: Modelling System Behaviour
After the first article in this series dealt with the general basic building blocks of control systems, the second article is dedicated to modeling the behavior of systems. The focus here is on differentiating between different types of modeling. The main part of the article introduces a special data-driven approach that has recently attracted growing scientific interest.
Data-driven process control – Part 1
The automatic control of complex systems poses a growing theoretical and technical challenge. Regardless of whether these systems are biological or chemical reactors, wind turbines, power grids, airplanes or even manufacturing systems, the questions to be answered are always comparable. This upcoming series of articles will give an introduction to this interesting field and, in the first part, will cover the general basic components of control systems using a production example.
ZEISS further strengthens its engagement within the global FOSS community
ZEISS is committed to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and is implementing a company-wide policy on FOSS engagement. The second round of funding engineers’ favourite FOSS projects was just concluded whilst the ZEISS group is happy to announce that it joined the Linux Foundation and Zephyr Project to strengthen its ties in collaborative software development.
Test-driven development for Blazor web components with bUnit
The bUnit library can be used to create unit tests for Blazor web front-ends. This allows you to create many tests that can be run quickly. Examples are used to present the first steps and the most important features of bUnit.
Web UIs with Blazor and possible use cases in industry
Blazor is a Microsoft framework for creating interactive web frontends with C#. Three deployment models are available for Blazor apps. The different architectures have a strong effect on the applications. This is explored by examples in industry.
Can agile software development work in a regulated environment? A focus on medical devices and diagnostic industry.
How can agile methods be used in the development of medical software in regulated environments? Discover proven approaches from the field that enable you to be flexible yet compliant with regulatory requirements to develop high-quality medical software.
Digital twins: a central pillar of Industry 4.0
In the so-called “Industry 4.0”, the productive times of machines and entire production lines are largely optimized in many industries. Therefore, the optimization of unproductive times, as machine downtime and reject production, are now being considered. Digital twins of production lines can be created using comprehensive data capture. Our author Marco Grafe discusses what is behind digital twins, what they are used for and whether we need them at all.
Kinematic Simulation for Beginners
Production sites in high-wage countries demand highly automated and flexible production systems to remain competitive. In most cases, developing software for production systems requires using physical components under real conditions.
ISO 25010 is changing soon
The important standard for ZEISS Digital Innovation with regard to the quality characteristics of software is being revised after more than ten years.
