Embedding Methodology in the Control System of a Plant Increases Its Utility Biotech processes should be standardized as much as possible to produce optimum product yields. On-line off-gas analysis is ...

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 ...

A new process control method uses a special mathematical structure to accurately estimate the internal process variables of a system, even when external sensors are damaged. Be it nuclear power plants ...

At some point in our lives, we have dropped a drinking glass or knocked over a glass-blown knickknack, only to watch it hit the floor and shatter into pieces. We learn from any early age that glass is ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

Since about 2015, when Don Bartusiak, the then chief engineer at ExxonMobil Research & Engineering, publicly advocated for the development of a new, standards-based, open—yet secure—process control ...

Compared to factory automation, process control places additional demands on communication technology. Process plants, which extend over wide areas, have a lifespan of 20+ years. They invariably run ...

Recent Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) research aims to better understand the potential of process control enhancements, such as load control, sliding pressure control, and steam temperature ...

5G has been around for years and has seen some adoption in process applications. Now on the horizon, likely with extensive use of optical transmission, is 6G and in the near term, 5.5G. Sometimes ...

Technology progression within advanced process control (APC) continues to evolve; however, it is the relationship among core APC developments, enabling technologies, and management practices that is ...
