	Abstract:	This work features the integrated utilisation of various technologies including advanced modelling software (both off-line and real time), model-predictive control and distributed computer control technology in a collective environment. The outcome will be a structured framework for the optimal control of generic and complex batch recipe-driven processes. This framework is general and well suited for application to any particulate process. The design from a holistic point of view of a multilayer architecture for the advanced control of a batch cooling crystallisation pilot facility is described.
