When the Industry 4.0 working group presented its results at the Hannover Fair in 2013, it hardly made any impression within the process industry. Following my webinar, "Industry 4.0: A Blueprint for ...

When model-based multivariable control made its debut in the 1980s, it was expected that process models, once acquired through a plant step test, would be durable and long lived. However, this ...

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 ...

The process industry, characterized by continuous, large-scale production, is vital to modern manufacturing. In recent years, integrating big data and artificial intelligence (AI) into process ...

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 ...

Jon Herlocker, co-founder and CEO of Tignis, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how AI in advanced process control reduces equipment variability and corrects for process drift. What ...

The Zacks Instruments – Control industry comprises manufacturers of precision and specialty motion control components and systems used in a wide range of industries. These companies deliver ...

Even after 20 years or so, process control continues to be a confusing or misunderstood technology. A short description of process control is an accurate one—It’s a means of controlling manufacturing ...

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 ...

There is a boom in the volume of semiconductor devices being manufactured, and the boom is primarily credited to the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT)-based devices in our daily lives. IoT ...
