Technology progression within advanced process control (APC) continues to evolve; however, it is the relationship among core APC developments, enabling technologies, and management practices that is ...

It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

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 ...

With these new capabilities and its widened operating window, the Paramount HFi provides advanced process control, high repeatability, a common exciter mode to synchronize multiple systems in cluster ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

Advanced logic scaling has created some difficult technical challenges, including a requirement for highly dense patterning. Imec recently confronted this challenge, by working toward the use of Metal ...

Advanced process control systems manage multiple variables simultaneously, helping food manufacturers maintain consistent quality even when raw ingredients fluctuate. Four control strategies — ...

As chips evolve toward stacked, heterogeneous assemblies and adopt more complex materials, engineers are grappling with new and often less predictable sources of variation. This is redefining what it ...
