Abstract

Process industries are highly automated and energy intensive. They produce considerable share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In these industries, automation and related controls of operations in different layers of production from process level instrumentation to distribution level scheduling and planning have been implemented in separated layers with few respects to sustainability. It is clear that without consideration of sustainable factors in Enterprise Wide Operations holistically; predefined targets of Green Production for industrial operations are unachievable. Substantial requirements for Green Operations rely on the establishment of suitable platforms, tailored to achieve Enterprise Wide Sustainability. This paper tries to model and conceptualize an integrated automation platform for green operations of process industries, including production and scheduling.
