Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

One of the key ideas in lean manufacturing is that defects should be detected as early as possible. Efforts to control manufacturing processes so that issues can be detected before defects occur ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

No one is suggesting that familiar physical interfaces or screens and keyboards in process industries are obsolete. However, the rapid evolution in voice processing, virtual reality, and artificial ...

Process analytical technology (PAT) enables real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes. By complementing conventional off-line sampling with timely at-line, on-line, and in-line ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...

Across the semiconductor industry, both FD-SOI and finFET transistor technologies are in high volume production, with IC manufacturers looking to extend both technologies to gain additional ...
