Process control is moving forward as quickly as data collection and processing can carry it, and a recent research effort demonstrated how fast and flexible, and adaptive, machining operations can be.

The field of additive manufacturing is undergoing a profound transformation as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become integral to the ...

Process control can be viewed as the executive portion of a unit process. It provides the means to direct a process so that it produces the desired results. It is complementary to the role played by ...

Manufacturing process controls include all systems and software that exert control over production processes. Control systems include process sensors, data processing equipment, actuators, networks to ...

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has had a major impact on the contemporary design and production process. First developed in 1988 with the aim of allowing for rapid prototyping, ...

In general, automating manufacturing leads to more efficiency, lower costs, higher throughput, less waste, higher labour productivity, and predictable lead times. Yet some process steps are a ...

Jon Herlocker, co-founder and CEO of Tignis, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how AI in advanced process control reduces equipment variability and corrects for process drift. What ...

The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

Daniel Herrington was working for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA–E) when he realized the importance of manufacturing. “Manufacturing underpins most ...

Customer demands for unique parts and products, as well as requests for greater customization, are driving industry toward more high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) manufacturing operations. Though much of the ...
