This paper presents a multi-objective controller applied to an olive oil mill. The practical experience using a Generalized Predictive Controller (GPC) in the real plant showed the necessity of including objectives, with different priorities, in the process control. The analysis demonstrates that GPC with prioritization objectives can control the process and fulfill the specified operational conditions. The results are illustrated with some simulations that compare the traditional GPC to the multi-objective one.
