- Automated control systems aimed to increase the energy efficiency of outdoor lighting in cities;
- IoT-oriented systems for advanced analysis of operating regimes of technological equipment.
Author of more than 80 scientific papers, Dmitry supervised two candidates of science, who successfully defended their thesis researches in the field of automated control of technological processes.
Advanced Process Control System
The system is designed to control ore processing. Optimization algorithm looks for the best equipment operating regime where incoming ore quality is given and one or more optimization criteria are met, such as:
- increase in productivity;
- improvement of the concentrate quality;
- cost reduction (e.g. loss of useful content in tailings, electricity, etc.).
The system is implemented as an intelligent superstructure over the existing SCADA.
