Model-predictive design is applied to solid-dosage processes. Model-predictive design—used to define, predict, and control a process—is well established in many industries and is beginning to take ...

Aspen Technology's Elinor Price describes how advanced process control modeling and simulation can become part of the modern control room. An upcoming feature article in January, "Changing Workforce ...

We propose an approach for the modeling, monitoring and control of operational risk in financial institutions based on a methodology that integrates business process modeling with statistical and ...

Distributed control systems and programmable logic controllers have long been used to regulate power plant operations, but advanced techniques that have been proven in refining and other industries ...

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 ...

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 the leading high-volume manufacturing (HVM) process flows, materials-enabled scaling has increased inline applications for compositional metrology. A previous blog discussed how Fourier transform ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...
