Abstract The developments in technologies are expanding the boundaries and broadening the domain of what is technically and economically feasible to achieve in the application of data reconciliation activities in manufacturing plants. They also, naturally, incorporate additional issues and open the opportunities for new research activities. For example, recent developments on model-centric technologies to support plant operations based on advanced process modelling technologies opened the opportunities for performing large-scale parameter estimation – data reconciliation applications in complex dynamic industrial environments. On the other hand, new sensor technologies are becoming available based on recent advances in microprocessor-based instrumentation and digital communications. They provide opportunities for the realization of novel sensor network architectures towards a truly distributed environment for data processing and reconciliation. In this presentation we will discuss current research activities combining efforts in these areas towards the future operation of manufacturing plants.
