Simulation of process control can ensure productive automation projects. But how much effort should be allocated to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

At the end of February, PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group)—the consortium for open hardware specifications—introduced InterEdge, a modular architecture for process control systems ...

Batch process manufacturers are continuously looking for new ways to improve processes and production techniques and to be more efficient to remain competitive. Although manufacturers see new ...

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 ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

Across the semiconductor industry, both FD-SOI and finFET transistor technologies are in high volume production, with IC manufacturers looking to extend both technologies to gain additional ...

Advanced packaging is transforming semiconductor manufacturing into a multi-dimensional challenge, blending 2D front-end wafer fabrication with 2.5D/3D assemblies, high-frequency device ...
