Economic assessment of advanced process control - a framework and survey

Professor Ian Craig (University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa)

Abstract

In an industrial context, an advanced control project is usually not considered successful if it does not show an economic benefit. This is irrespective of whether the project is a technical success or not. This talk will present a framework for the economic assessment of such projects. The framework will be used to structure the state-of-the-art in the field as reflected in the literature and as obtained from the results of a recently conducted web-based survey.
