How self-tuning can support an adaptive control strategy. How Model Reference Adaptive Control can improve adaptability. The different types of MRAC. A certain amount of flexibility is always good to ...

We are proud to welcome Manfred Morari into the 2026 class of the Process Automation Hall of Fame! Manfred’s work in model ...

Compared to factory automation, process control places additional demands on communication technology. Process plants, which extend over wide areas, have a lifespan of 20+ years. They invariably run ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...
