Hardcover, xvi + 411 pages, NOT ex-library. Interior is clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show cosmetic nicks to the edges (two to the tips of the upper outer corners, one to the upper spine edge). Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume presents a systematic account of how advanced control methods can be transferred from theoretical research to working industrial applications, drawing on more than two decades of collaborative work between the Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana and industrial partners across Slovenia and beyond. The book documents over 150 successful implementations of advanced control concepts in real production environments, making it one of the most extensively practice-grounded contributions to the Springer Advances in Industrial Control series. The authors categorise these applications into two levels: "basic" advanced control, such as self-tuning and dead-time compensation, and "complex" systems involving model-predictive control and fuzzy logic. The contents are organised around a framework that addresses the full trajectory from control problem identification through modelling, design, implementation and validation in operational settings. Case studies span diverse industrial sectors and cover a range of advanced methods including predictive control, self-tuning controllers for batch processes, online process supervision, product quality control using vibro-acoustic signals and machine vision, and decision support systems for production management. A significant feature of the text is its focus on the "human factor" and the development of specialized software tools, such as the CJ2 program, designed to bridge the gap between academic algorithms and industrial hardware. Each case study demonstrates both the theoretical basis of the control method employed and the practical engineering decisions required to make it function reliably under real operating conditions. The volume serves as both a practical reference for control engineers seeking to implement advanced methods in industrial settings and a model for how academic-industrial partnerships in control technology can be structured and sustained. …

Case Studies in Control presents a framework to facilitate the use of advanced control concepts in real systems based on two decades of research and over 150 successful applications for industrial end-users from various backgrounds. In successive parts the text approaches the problem of putting the theory to work from both ends, theoretical and practical. The first part begins with a stress on solid control theory and the shaping of that theory to solve particular instances of practical problems. It emphasizes the need to establish by experiment whether a model-derived solution will perform properly in reality. The second part focuses on real industrial applications based on the needs and requirements of end-users. Here, the engineering approach is dominant but with theoretical input of varying degree depending on the particular process involved.
Following the illustrations of the progress that can be made from either extreme of the well-known theory–practice divide, the text proceeds to a third part related to the development of tools that enable simpler use of advanced methods, a need only partially met by available commercial products.
Each case study represents a self-contained unit that shows an experimental application of a particular method, a practical solution to an industrial problem or a toolkit that makes control design and implementation easier or more efficient. Among the applications presented are:
- wastewater treatment;
- manufacturing of electrical motors ;
- temperature control of blow moulding;
- burn-protective garments quality assessment; and rapid prototyping.
Written by contributors with a considerable record of industrially-applied research, Case Studies in Control will encourage interaction between industrial practitioners and academic researchers and be of benefit to both, helping to make theory realistic and practical implementation more thorough and efficacious.
Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.

About the Author
Đani Juričić is a research fellow at the Jožef Stefan Institute and a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Nova Gorica. For almost 30 years he has been active in applied research in automatic control through numerous research grants and projects for industry, in the majority of which he acted as project leader. His research interests include condition monitoring, fault detection, isolation and prediction, the mathematical modelling of dynamical processes, signal processing, system identification, PID and optimal controller design. He has contributed to the CACSDtool ANA, algorithms for the control design of systems with backlash, the control of Wiener systems, PID tuning, modelling for the purpose of control, validation of data-driven models, algorithms for robust control and fault detection, and novel fault-localisation approaches based on approximate reasoning. His notable industrial accomplishments include algorithms for the on-line, model-based control of a pulp cooking process, condition monitoring systems for several processes in the chemical and process industries, a prototype of a system for fault detection and isolation in the production of electrical motors and a system for the on-line supervision of rotational machines and drives.
