Automatic Control
The objective of this division is the research and development of techniques in system modelling, simulation and process control, including the application to specific industrial projects and the necessary procedures for their implementation. The IOC has a control and electronics laboratory with the necessary equipment to conduct the experimental part of the research projects and the implementations for industrial application projects.
