Organisation profile

The roots of this unit are in the Institute’s Electronics Department, which was founded and advanced in the 1950s by the late Professor France Bremšak. In 1986 an independent Department of Computer Automation and Control was formed. In 2003 the department was renamed the Department of Systems and Control. Its mission is to perform technologically oriented research, and transfer the knowledge and results to practical applications so as to contribute to the progress in Slovenia. Transfer and knowledge exchange are especially intensive in entities that were cofounded and are now co-coordinated by the department. These entities are: Centre ARI – Development Centre for Industrial Automation, Robotics and Informatics, and the Process Control Technology Network. The two entities also initiated the application for the Competence Centre for Advanced Control Technologies starting in 2011.

Field of expertise: products and services essential to value-added benefit

The activities of the Department of Systems and Control include analysis, control, and optimisation of various systems and processes, specifically:

• researching and developing new methods and algorithms for automatic control
• development of procedures and software tools to support the design and building of control systems
• development of special measuring and control modules
• design of computer aided systems for control and supervision of devices, and industrial and other processes.
