Processing and Systems (CPPS)

Owing to backward domestic molding technology, and low-level processing and control status, Center for Polymer Process System(CPPS) focuses on batch process control, optimization, monitoring, fault diagnosis and sensor technology, in order to improve product quality and production efficiency, reduce production costs, protect environment, and save energy through the sophisticated technology.

Present research projects of CPPS are "Advanced Controller for Injection Molding Machine ", "Extruder of Intelligent Monitoring System", " Process And Quality Sensor Technology", ¡±Process Monitoring & Fault Diagnosis¡±, "Motion Control Technology And Equipment¡±, "Lithium Ion EV Battery Management System", " Machine Vision Inspection Technology ", etc.
