I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

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 ...

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 ...

Successful manufacturing is inextricably linked to process control. If processes are not controlled, the eventual output may not fall within the required parameters. Using baking as an example, when ...

Multi-variable model-based control is a technology known to provide superior performance over traditional single-input-single-output control strategies. Originally developed for petroleum refineries ...

Volumetric flow, flow velocity and temperature measurement – three of the most important variables which help to ensure efficient process control. So, wouldn’t it be convenient if you could measure ...

In new energy battery manufacturing, consistency is not just a quality goal—it is a safety requirement. As battery systems ...

The authors describe a QbD study that was performed to optimize a coating system. Coating tablets involves selecting a specific color and gloss that are used to distinguish a drug product and build ...
