Description:

The laboratory is primarily intended for research in the field of control systems and control algorithms design for process and discrete automation using the most modern technological means. However, with its equipment it also serves for the research in the field of optimization and visualization of control processes, for example in storage and transport systems. Last but not least the research is directed to the deployment of intelligent control methods in the field of building automation and PLC control.
