Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

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 ...

Generically, APCs consist of three components: a computer-simulation model that integrates process knowledge and historical data; control and optimization algorithms; and current, real-time process ...

Coal-fired power plants can improve wet limestone scrubbing with advanced process control. One such optimization system reduced house load substantially.

Multivariable predictive control technology increased oil and gas production by 4% from BP PLC's Marlin tension leg platform (TLP) in the Gulf of Mexico.

Manufacturers with complex processes leverage model-based, multivariable control to maximize uptime, reduce variability and control closer to performance-limiting constraints. When a process has ...

At the 2019 SPIE Advanced Lithography conference, Coventor personnel demonstrated how virtual process modeling (combined with advanced process control) could provide enhanced patterning yield and ...

This paper describes a unique suite of power management, leakage control and process compensation technology geared towards reducing power while optimizing performance. This integrated solution, ...
