Abstract
In the food industry, automatic control of quality parameters is limited by the availability of sensors for such parameters. For fresh cheese production the installation of NIR (near infrared) sensors opens the path for the design of automatic control schemes for dry matter and protein content. This paper describes a design procedure for such control schemes, including design and identification of process models and simulation of different control schemes, and presents results for an industrial dry matter control application on an industrial fresh cheese production line.
