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 ...

Although control-oriented applications typically need fast interrupt response and an ability to efficiently process bit-level control and status information, signal-processing applications require ...

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 ...

Even after 20 years or so, process control continues to be a confusing or misunderstood technology. A short description of process control is an accurate one—It’s a means of controlling manufacturing ...

Advanced MPC systems help food manufacturers optimize complex processes, reduce waste and maintain consistent product quality ...

Recent Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) research aims to better understand the potential of process control enhancements, such as load control, sliding pressure control, and steam temperature ...

With the continued need for shrinking pattern dimensions, semiconductor manufacturers continue to implement more complex patterning techniques, such as advanced multi-patterning, for the 10nm design ...

In process automation, an alarm is defined as an audible and/or visible means of indicating to the operator an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring an operator ...

Today’s common bioprocessing technologies do not efficiently develop complex biologics like cell and gene therapy and mRNA products. The at-line monitoring, off-line analytics, and legacy control ...

Many assays have integrated, built-in, or internal controls to demonstrate their operability at specific procedural steps. What role do these built-in controls play in quality control to assure ...
