Process-control environments are under constant threat from cyberattacks, internal threats, and even simple vandalism. Designers need to consider the spectrum of threats and hardening strategies, from ...
Since about 2015, when Don Bartusiak, the then chief engineer at ExxonMobil Research & Engineering, publicly advocated for the development of a new, standards-based, open—yet secure—process control ...
Over the past few decades, various control disciplines like process, batch, motion and discrete control have been consolidated into a single, common automation architecture. This integration has ...
Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...
We are proud to welcome Manfred Morari into the 2026 class of the Process Automation Hall of Fame! Manfred’s work in model ...
At one time, process historians were simply software packages used to store and present real-time process data. Today, however, historians are being used to do much more. Process historians are being ...
The control systems world is changing. Historically, process control systems—which include all industrial control, process control, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), distributed ...
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 ...
How self-tuning can support an adaptive control strategy. How Model Reference Adaptive Control can improve adaptability. The different types of MRAC. A certain amount of flexibility is always good to ...
In the past few years, discussion around the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0, cloud, edge, and enterprise connectivity has been pervasive. It is exciting to think about the ...
