Supply chains are in flux and process operations need to be ready and able to adapt to both changing inputs and a need for ...

Air France-KLM plans to lift its stake in Scandinavian airline SAS AB to a controlling holding, as it looks to extend consolidation in European aviation and better compete with rivals Deutsche ...

Impedance control is one of the fundamental control approaches for contact-rich robotic tasks. However, to apply the impedance control, the robot dynamics needs to be completely known, which could be ...

This article introduces overall controller effectiveness (OCE) as a new, intuitive metric for evaluating PID loop performance in process industries. It tells how OCE helps process plant teams ...

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 ...

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

Cascade control permeates a wide range of industrial processes, due to its significant improvement in disturbance rejection. However, conventional cascade control turns laborious to control the ...

According to process control experts, a detailed and specific set of control valve requirements is more than necessary when it comes to good control loop performance.

However, this process requires a backup PLL and may face stability issues in weak grid environments. Xi et al. (2022) adopt a current limiting method in the current loop of the converter’s double ...

“Process safety used to require a control system that was separate and redundant from the basic process control system (BPCS), but some of those regulations like IEC 61508 have relaxed slightly in ...
