The original communication setup between the control system and the PLC of the UOP3 distillation column was based on a basic HTTP server running directly on the PLC. While simple to implement, this solution suffered from limited speed, low flexibility, Read more
The original registration system for the Student Science Conference was built using procedural PHP. While functional, it lacks structure, flexibility, and scalability. It can only be managed by a single person, making maintenance and collaboration difficult. The goal of my Read more
The aim of this project was to improve energy efficiency and control precision using modern identification and control strategies. In particular, the project compared a traditional modeling method (Strejc model) with a data-driven approach (Koopman model), and applied Model Predictive Read more
Polypropylene Plant 3 (PP3) is the third polypropylene production unit at Slovnaft. The PP3 unit processes propylene, a by-product of refining processes, to produce isotactic polypropylene granules. These granules are a versatile thermoplastic polymer widely used across various industries, including Read more
With the increasing accessibility of smart technologies, automation is no longer limited to residential spaces. At the Institute of Automation, a long-term project is underway to integrate intelligent systems into the academic environment, improving energy efficiency, creating a platform for Read more
Toto leto som mal príležitosť absolvovať odbornú prax v cementárni Danucem v Rohožníku, kde som bol pridelený na oddelenie procesov. Moja práca sa zameriavala na riešenie automatizačných výziev v rámci výroby cementu. Okrem toho som poskytoval podporu kolegom procesným inžinierom Read more
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has significantly transformed various fields, particularly process control. Traditionally reliant on human capabilities, these areas now benefit from technologies enabling machines to perform tasks autonomously, thereby enhancing the efficiency Read more
In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, home automation has become more accessible than ever before. An increasing number of devices are designed to automate, protect, and monitor homes and offices, making it possible for many people to implement a smart Read more
In this semestral project, we delved into the world of Model Predictive Control (MPC). MPC is used in various applications such as robotics and process control, due to its ability to handle multi-variable control problems with constraints. This semester, we Read more
In the world of control systems, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controllers have long been a staple for managing linear systems due to their simplicity. However, the rise of machine learning, particularly neural networks, offers an intriguing alternative to traditional control Read more
