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 ...
In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...
The operating logic may be diagrammed to different levels of completeness of information. Whatever the level of completeness, the diagram communicates functional information explicitly to the degree ...
Energy is useful. If controlled correctly it can create value and be put to good use. However, it is, by its very thermodynamic nature, potentially harmful and must be carefully contained within the ...
Advanced packaging is transforming semiconductor manufacturing into a multi-dimensional challenge, blending 2D front-end wafer fabrication with 2.5D/3D assemblies, high-frequency device ...
