      Project: Decentralized control of water process using digital workflow at Aalto UniversityIn this project, I aim to develop and test a digital workflow to streamline commissioning processes in the process industry, which are often time-consuming. My focus is on further developing the decentralized control system of the water process demonstrator in EcoStruxure Automation Expert, following the IEC 61499 standard, and integrating the AVEVA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)… Show more Project: Decentralized control of water process using digital workflow at Aalto UniversityIn this project, I aim to develop and test a digital workflow to streamline commissioning processes in the process industry, which are often time-consuming. My focus is on further developing the decentralized control system of the water process demonstrator in EcoStruxure Automation Expert, following the IEC 61499 standard, and integrating the AVEVA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) solution with it. Additionally, I will integrate the Digital Twin model of the water process, created in Apros, with the control system. Finally, I will test and validate the operability of the developed setup using the physical water process machine to ensure a seamless and efficient commissioning process. Show less
