Industrial operations are characterized by the continuous search for more efficient process operations, more reliable and robust equipment designs, the maximization of benefits, and the minimization of deleterious environmental and social impacts. Simultaneously, the digital revolution provides increasingly cheaper computation platforms, with progressively larger storage, memory, and computational capabilities. The combination of these factors has encouraged the continuous development of new modeling and numerical tools that are expected to be applied in actual industrial sites throughout the world and in different process engineering fields, for both offline and online analyses. Typical examples include the use of complex phenomenological models for the design of actual industrial equipment and process flowsheets; the implementation of empirical models based on machine learning procedures for process monitoring, fault identification, and diagnoses; and the utilization of identification techniques for the construction of virtual sensors and process twins, for the purposes of process monitoring and control.
In this context, the present webinar titled “Digital Twins for Process Monitoring and Control—Some Recent Developments and Perspectives” intends to describe and discuss the recent advances related to the development and implementation of Digital Twins in real industrial environments for the purposes of process monitoring and control. In order to achieve the proposed goals, this session will cover fundamental aspects of current technologies and discuss real advanced applications in the oil production and chemical manufacturing fields, emphasizing the benefits that can be obtained using these tools. As a consequence, during the webinar, the attendees will have the opportunity to revise the principles of Digital Twin implementations and to consider some very recent real applications in this field.
