Lab connect¶

MQS has worked on a project to connect laboratories and unit-operations (Siemens SCADA control system) to a real-time database setup via OCP-UA and MQTT:

Pilot Plant 4.0: A Review of Digitalization Efforts of the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

Further, MQS has also automated a laboratory with robotic arms and a vision detection systems to perform automated lab experiments.

The Cebule SDK allows to generate look-up tables for soft-sensors in order to control manufacturing processes of chemicals.

The whole on-edge infrastructure setup is visualized in the following figure.
