ERNSI Workshop Cambridge,UK
September 16-19, 2001
The University of Cambridge is rich in history - its famous Colleges
and University buildings attract visitors from all over the world. But
the University's museums and collections also hold many treasures which
give an exciting insight into some of the scholarly activities, both past
and present, of the University's academics and students. The University
of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world and one of
the largest in the United Kingdom. Its reputation for outstanding academic
achievement is known world-wide and reflects the intellectual achievement
of its students, as well as the world-class original research carried out
by the staff of the University and the Colleges.

Arrival
When you arrive, please report to the Pembroke College Porters' Lodge, which is located at the intersection of Trumpington Street and Pembroke Street. They will give you a key to your room.
Please note that the first meal arranged for the Workshop is Sunday dinner in the evening. That means that those arriving on Saturday will have to make their own meal arrangements. This should not be a problem, as there are several hundred restaurants, pubs, etc to choose from in Cambridge.
You will be asked to vacate your room on the morning of your day of departure, but facilities for storing luggage will be available.
Please note: You will need to vacate your rooms by 9.30am on
day of departure. Luggage can be left at the Porters Lodge if necessary.
Payment for workshop participants will be collected from Team Leaders, not from individual participants.
NOTE! The ERNSI-meeting is open only to participating groups in the
EU TMR Project System Identification.

ABSTRACT - GUEST SPEAKER
An
Initial Appreciation of the suitability of Multivariate Statistics to enhance
capability for the Condition Monitoring of Industrial Processes.
- D.J. Sandoz, Control Technology Centre Ltd.
In 1997, Invensys acquired Predictive Control Ltd and the associated software “Connoisseur”. Predictive Control Ltd was founded in 1988 as a spin off company from the University of Manchester and Connoisseur is a product for the design and application of Industrial Model Predictive Controllers.
Predictive Control Ltd. had established a programme to undertake the development of a new software product to provide a capability for process condition monitoring to be exploited in its own right or as a companion with Connoisseur. This product (tentatively known as Perceptor) has continued to be developed at Manchester University within Control Technology Centre Ltd, a company wholly owned by the University. Trials are now underway with a number of Industrial Companies to evaluate capability. These trials are a penultimate stage in a progression to introduce Perceptor to the market place.
Multivariate Statistics (for example Principal Component Analysis and associated Probability Density Function statistics) has been and remains a major topic for academic research. It is argued that it provides the foundation for pragmatic multivariate approaches for the condition monitoring of industrial processes. However, the reality is that there has been minimal real-time exploitation with industrial plant, to the extent that it is questionable that there is even a single instance of successful exploitation that is in continuous operation anywhere in the world. This is in clear contrast to the success of the multivariate control engineering methods, which have now become a commodity in industry.
This presentation is concerned with the capability of Perceptor, including
methods to address issues of condition monitoring and classification in
both Continuous and Batch processes. The results of early exposures to
industrial data will be reviewed. The emphasis in the presentation is to
provide an initial feel for the potential of Perceptor to contribute beneficially
in real-time to the operation of industrial processes.
