The group EN/ICE (Industrial Control) at CERN, in a search of continuous improving the automatic control methodologies used at CERN, organizes this workshop about control engineering in industry.
A challenge between academia and industry is to fill the gap between theory and practice when dealing with complex control systems. Most of the times, the emerging algorithms coming from Academia find barriers to be introduced in industry. This is due to several factors as the complexity of the solution against benefits does not justify the investment, not practical implementation in the real plants or reluctancy of industry to deploy new approaches among others.
However in the latest years, Academia has shown a special interest to get closer to industry and try to understand and answer real industrial issues. Within this context, the workshop will focus in getting a flavour of technologies and real examples by a bidirectional exchange of:
(1) real use cases of advanced control made at CERN
(2) a series of control seminars about technologies well developed in Academia which could find their implemenation at CERN.
In this ocasion Academia will be represented by members of the Spanish Committee (CEA) of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC).
