The CS Series of process-control modules provides PID loop control of any process without using a PLC. Modules offer control of temperature, flow, and pressure. Single and dualloop temperature modules ...

It’s an interesting time in history of advanced process control (APC), a term that encompasses a range of sophisticated software tools and technologies used to optimize plant performance, primarily in ...

In the manufacturing world, the word “retrofit” many times is feared to mean “lost production.” In other words, plants—or at least parts of plants—must be shut down for equipment to be upgraded. And ...

Advanced process control (APC) has incorporated and will continue to incorporate new technologies and methodologies that allow refiners and petrochemical plant operators to achieve and sustain ...

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 ...

Advanced logic scaling has created some difficult technical challenges, including a requirement for highly dense patterning. Imec recently confronted this challenge, by working toward the use of Metal ...

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 analytical technology and advanced process control strategies can be applied to either batch or continuous manufacturing of solid-dosage drugs. Forward-thinking oral solid-dosage (OSD) drug ...

Coal-fired power plants can significantly improve wet limestone scrubbing with advanced process control. One optimization system implemented at a Japanese facility utilized enhanced regulatory control ...
