We are specialized in optimization of the electrical mechanical systems. In collaboration with another startup that is specialized in water treatment systems (WTS), we helped them with designing the measurement systems and unifying all the data in one place.
Modularity
To develop a generic method for waste water treatment and therefore the control method as well as the integration must be generic. In order to develop a generic solution, modular design is the key factor for developing the control and integration system.
Modularity, here, means that the architecture of the local controls is exactly identical. This architecture is shown in the figure 1. To guarantee the modular design, the PLC for each subsystem is identical and can be repeated as many as n (n ≥ 1). The analog and digital input/output are defined similar but with different functionality which reflects the different operation between the subsystems (Unit 1, Unit 2, … Unit n).
Digital twin & AI
The digital twin of the system is developed in Lab-view. This way we can make sure the communication between control system and the server is under control.
To guarantee modularity, the LCSs are equipped with an artificial intelligence algorithm (AI). This way, the measurement data which is transferred from measurement units (sensors) can be treated similarly.
The digital twin has been developed in a way that is in constant communication with the machine learning model.
