Modern parallel computer architectures are capable of processing huge amounts of data at high speed. This allows for the increasing use of imaging techniques as sensors to control machines and process ...

Human failures and limitations were no doubt a motivating factor for developing automated control systems. Control systems can act reliably, fast and effectively 24/7. Pneumatic and hydraulic ...

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 ...
