The Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are driving the need for higher speeds and more power-efficient computing. The industry is responding by bringing new memory ...

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 ...

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 ...

In recent times, process industries such as chemical manufacturing are facing many of the same challenges as those in the discrete manufacturing space. Increasingly stringent competitive pressures ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has had a major impact on the contemporary design and production process. First developed in 1988 with the aim of allowing for rapid prototyping, ...

A platform approach to bioprocessing uses the same set of protocols and systems found during early phase development. Scientists then transfer the protocols, by either scaling-up or scaling-out, ...

The need for gas phase measurements covers several industries. It includes characterization and identification of gas streams for industrial hygiene, regulatory emission compliance and quality or ...
