The importance of control engineering consultancy in modern systems
Introduction
In a world that is becoming increasingly dependent on automation and advanced systems, control engineering plays a crucial role. But what exactly is control engineering, and why is professional control engineering advice so valuable? In this article, we delve deeper into the world of control engineering and explain how DotX Control Solutions helps companies optimize their systems.
What is control engineering?
Control engineering is the art and science of adjusting or controlling the operation of various systems to obtain a desired behavior or output. Whether you're dealing with temperature control in a building, speed control of a motor, or even advanced industrial processes, control engineering is the backbone that ensures stability, efficiency, and reliability.
Why control engineering advice?
- Optimization of processes: With well-tuned control systems, companies can make their operations more efficient, leading to cost savings and increased productivity.
- Stability and reliability: A poorly tuned system can be unstable and may lead to unwanted fluctuations or malfunctions. Professional advice ensures systems that perform consistently and reliably.
- Innovation: By utilizing the latest techniques such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) or advanced PID controls, companies can benefit from the latest innovations in the world of control engineering.

Projects
pH Loop Optimization
On-site assistance in applying the PID Tuner to tune 4 control loops in two 2000 L Bioreactors.
On-site Training in PID Tuning using the DotX PID Tuner software.
Development of a Game Arcade
Control of a cable driven manipulator
Problem: Operators of the hunting simulator had issues with positioning the meat in the lion cage.Solution: Providing haptic assitance to the operators joystick, allowing the operator to feel when the control system started overiding the operators input to avoid a collision with the wall.
Result: The collision ratio was significantly decreased, while the average velocity was increased.
