The concept of the technological process control using a distributed industrial tomography system

The article presents the idea of a system enabling effective control of production processes. A high level of automation and control of production processes plays a key role in maintaining a high level of competitiveness of each enterprise. The proposed system concept consists of a network of distributed sensors that enable the measurement of many process parameters, manufacturing resources and the state of the machine park. The described control system uses both wired and wireless communication. The implemented communication systems will enable obtaining data from various sensors and other subsystems installed in enterprises, as well as obtaining data from new systems and sensors used to measure all types of processes, from production set-up to the final product. The described solution includes the use of process tomography sensors based on electrical tomography. The conducted research shows that the use of tomographic methods enables effective management of the intelligent structure of companies in the scope of manufacturing processes control.
