CONTROL AND SENSOR SYSTEM PARADIGMS: A CASE
STUDY IN DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION IN THE WEB
FORMING INDUSTRIES.
Peter E. Wellstead, Control Systems Centre, UMIST, PO Box 88, Manchester M60 IQD
INTRODUCTION
The presentation covers some of the issues involved in using control systems sciences in engineering
innovation. In particular, I will focus upon product innovation in engineering. and argue that control
systems theory is a powerful agent for technological innovation. As an illustration I will show how a
holistic use of modelling methods, identification tools, signal processing and controller synthesis
methods can be used to define a generic class of systems from apparently disparate manufacturing
processes. This unified approach leads in turn to a disruptive change in technological approaches to
the general class. The holistic solution is given its unifying focus by a suitable choice of control
paradigm - in this case two dimensional (2D) systems.
The presentation is in two parts, the first part is a look at pre-project assessment and planning. The
second part addresses questions to do with the technical issues of a particular control problem. To
illustrate part 2, I will use experiences in the sheetiweb forming industries, and show how by
consistently applying the procedures of part 1 it is possible to systematically achieve both general
and
