Reinforcement learning (RL) represents a paradigm shift in process control, offering adaptive and data‐driven strategies for the management and optimisation of complex industrial processes. By ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...

Across the semiconductor industry, both FD-SOI and finFET transistor technologies are in high volume production, with IC manufacturers looking to extend both technologies to gain additional ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

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 ...

In a recent article in the Journal of Chromatography A, lead authors Alexander Armstrong, Stephen Goldrick, PhD, and Kieran Horry, of University College London, write that “novel control strategies ...
