1.背景过程工业的使命是将资源和能量转化为在其他行业和整个社会中使用的适当形式。从这个意义上说,过程工业覆盖了广泛的领域,包括化学/生物化学、材料、矿业、冶金、电力、食品甚至制药行业;此外,它也与机械、民用工业、电气和电子行业以及生物技术、纳米技术和信息技术等新兴领域息息相关。尽管当前的趋势是服务业和信息产业占全球经济的比重越来越大,但不能低估过程工业的基础作用。事实上,它扮演的角色正在变得越来越重要,因为社会对过程工业的任何变化越来越敏感。同时,过程工业在支持全球经济社会快速可持续发展方面面临巨大的挑战,如因为环保而需要更精确的控制,而电子商务等新经济模式又需要生产者能更快地适应消费者日益多样化和个性 1. Background Processes The mission of industry is to transform resources and energy into the proper form for use in other industries and in society as a whole. In this sense, the process industry covers a wide range of areas, including chemical / biochemical, material, mining, metallurgy, electric power, food and even the pharmaceutical industry; in addition, it also works with the mechanical, residential, electrical and electronic industries and biotechnology , Nanotechnology and information technology and other emerging areas are closely related. Although the current trend is that the service and information industries account for a growing share of the global economy, the underlying role of process industries can not be underestimated. In fact, its role is becoming more and more important as society becomes more and more sensitive to any changes in process industries. At the same time, the process industries are facing immense challenges in supporting rapid and sustainable global economic and social development, such as the need for more precise control because of environmental protection, and the new economic models such as e-commerce require producers to adapt more rapidly to diversification of consumers And personality
