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 ...

AI optimizes injection molding beyond human understanding, creating new challenges for process control and failure recovery.

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 excursion, or any deviation in a certain process, significantly impacts the cost of semiconductor manufacturing process and product yield. During production, process excursion can be detected ...

Increasingly tight tolerances and rigorous demands for quality are forcing chipmakers and equipment manufacturers to ferret out minor process variances, which can create significant anomalies in ...

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 ...

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 ...

The advantages of microLED over other display technologies. The manufacturing flow and where process control comes into play for microLED display fabrication. The challenges in manufacturing microLED ...

Process control and simulation lie at the heart of modern industrial operations, enabling continuous monitoring, dynamic adjustment, and predictive optimisation of complex process systems.

The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...
