Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

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 ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a modern feedback law that generates the control signal by solving an optimal control problem at each sampling time. This approach is capable of maximizing a certain ...

This is the third in a three-blog series on PLDC. The first installment was “Improving Uniformity and Linearity for All Masks,” from January 29, 2025. The second blog was “Three Ways Curvy ILT ...

Learn what model predictive control can do to help you get a return on investment from all the data you’ve been collecting in your facility. Most modern control systems collect data—lots of data. Some ...

Advanced control strategies are now a well-established discipline for designing controllers in different engineering areas. Here, Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a robust technique that can ...
