radio,..) motor control (exhaust
regulations) critical new applications ABS
(anti-skip) and EPS (stability), brake-by-wire,
steer-by-wire (X-by-wire) increased safety

Benefits reduce operation costs, faster
diagnostics, better energy management, automatic
train control.

autopilot, engineer) flight management flight
recording (black boxes, turbine
supervision) diagnostics fly-by-wire

7Robots
extension limited to 2-3 m (portal robots
10-20m) frequent reprogramming for new tasks,
tooling simple embedded computer, hierarchical
control
8Substations
protection (Lines, transformers, generators) very
high speed response control (remote or local) to
guarantee power flow, safe operation
(interlocking) measurement (local and remote),
electricity bill, power flow in grid
9Pharmaceutical Industry
Inventory Recipe management Packaging Sampling Tra
cking tracing Comply with government rules
Typical of batch processes.
10Manufacturing
11Flexible Automation
numerous conveyors, robots,
CNC machines, paint shops,
logistics. Download from production management,
connection to administration
12Warehouses
extreme dependency on the availability of the
control system Connection to supply chain
management, order fulfilment customer
relationship and commercial accounting (SAP)
13Printing machines
tasks of control system motor control
(synchronisation of the printing cylinders) ink
and water control paper web control (reelstands
(Rollenwechsler, bobines), web tension, emergency
knife) interface to operator (commands,
alarms) production preparation and statistics -
up to the press room very high requirements on
availability two hours delay and the production
is lost.
14Oil Gas, petrochemicals
"upstream" from the earth to the
refinery down-sea control
special requirement high pressure, saltwater,
inaccessibility explosive environment with gas.
distribution
special requirement environmental protection
"downstream" from the oil to derived products
special requirement extreme explosive environment

15Chemical industry
logistics, local control of reactors
e.g. LONZA
Characterized by batches of products, reuse of
production reactors for different product types
(after cleaning).
16Process Industry
Process Industry industries de transformation,
Verfahrenstechnik (one of the many meanings of
process)
Cement
Metals and Minerals Glass production Chemical .
Continuous flow of materials, often 24 hours a day
17Steel mills
particularity synchronization of the motors in
the rolling mill
18Cement Works
The rotating oven is the heart of the
cement process the grinded kiln is burnt and
comes out as chunks later reduced to powder.
Control tasks Oven rotation and temperature
control fuel supply, silos, transport
belts, grinding mills, pollution
monitoring, quality supervision, filler
stations,... Switzerland is leading nation in
Europe (Holcim, Jura, )

20Building Automation
basics fire, intrusion, climate, energy
management HVAC Heat, Ventilation and Cooling
air conditioning

24Harbours
from ship planning to crane manipulation and
stock control
25Water treatment
(fresh and waste water) manage pumps, tanks,
chemical composition, filters, movers,
quality... auxiliaries methane electricity

Substation
Huge number of "points" (power plants,
transformers, breakers, substations) lying 2km to
2000 km apart. All time-critical operations
executed locally in the substations and power
generation units.
