Model-based Process Monitoring, Control and Optimisation Focus Group Event

The purpose of the CPACT's Model-based Process Monitoring, Control and Optimisation Focus Group is to bring together members from diverse areas (such as the different process industries, instrumentation & software suppliers and academia) with an interest on the applications of Model-based Process Monitoring, Control and Optimisation to manufacturing processes to network, share knowledge and use cases, discuss new developments and applicable regulations and foster pre-competitive collaboration. 


Following a well-attended initial webinar, the steering committee of the Model-based Process Monitoring, Control and Optimisation Focus Group would like to invite you to participate in a follow-up virtual meeting on 7th May at 2pm (UK time) to get input from the community of practitioners to help us shape the activities for this group.
