Model predictive control using physico-chemical models

For 15 years now .NIZO food research has been involve in the development of models that predict product parameters such as viscosity ,maximum level of contamination taste ,etc.Many of these have been applied with great success in industry ,sometimes resulting in the reduction of production costs by up to 50% and improvement of product quality ,As the most recent ,Nizo food research has bow started a joint development ,together with Honeywell ,the world leader in process control system ,of a process control system for the foof industry.Models that predict product properties in relation to the process and the product composition will be integrated in software for automatic process control for the foodstuff industry.Ith is expected that a first prototype will be in use by the end of 2002
