Course overview
This course is designed for scientists and engineers working in biomanufacturing environments who lack a strong background in process automation and control. Delivered in conjunction with Applikon, Emerson, and Industrial Technology Systems, you learn about control improvement, identifying underperforming systems, and building a business case for better quality control.
Five reasons why you should study this course:
- Control systems: understand the biocontrol systems landscape and the importance of control design dynamics.
- Technical skills: learn about bioreactor measurement, controller tuning, and the implications for control, both online and offline.
- Advanced concepts: explore advanced control concepts and strategies to mitigate bioreactor loop interactions.
- Practical application: gain hands-on experience through software demonstrations and laboratory exercises in advanced control.
- Data exploitation: learn how to exploit data from controlled environments, enhancing process efficiency and quality.
