It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

Chipmakers are relying on machine learning for electroplating and wafer cleaning at leading-edge process nodes, augmenting traditional fault detection/classification and statistical process control in ...

Learn chemical process simulation, economics, automation, and control. Design and retrofit chemical processes to achieve improved performance and a better bottom line. Build skills in advanced process ...

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 ...

Marcus Hoversland, a UW graduate and process engineer at HF Sinclair in Casper, interacts with UW students in an “Intro to Chemical Engineering” class. UW has received a generous investment from HF ...

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 ...

As chips evolve toward stacked, heterogeneous assemblies and adopt more complex materials, engineers are grappling with new and often less predictable sources of variation. This is redefining what it ...

Manufacturing process controls include all systems and software that exert control over production processes. Control systems include process sensors, data processing equipment, actuators, networks to ...

Process control can be viewed as the executive portion of a unit process. It provides the means to direct a process so that it produces the desired results. It is complementary to the role played by ...
