The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

Successful manufacturing is inextricably linked to process control. If processes are not controlled, the eventual output may not fall within the required parameters. Using baking as an example, when ...

Process and Control Improvement (PC&I) project planning is quite critical to the health of your business. Establishing a process improvement initiative helps maintain both quality and efficient ...

In process automation, an alarm is defined as an audible and/or visible means of indicating to the operator an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring an operator ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) represents a paradigm shift in process control, offering adaptive and data‐driven strategies for the management and optimisation of complex industrial processes. By ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

HPS pioneered process automation control and thermal process solutions, and today, plays a critical role across the entire lifecycle of an industrial facility, from project design and engineering, ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...

With the continued need for shrinking pattern dimensions, semiconductor manufacturers continue to implement more complex patterning techniques, such as advanced multi-patterning, for the 10nm design ...
