With the continued need for shrinking pattern dimensions, semiconductor manufacturers continue to implement more complex patterning techniques, such as advanced multi-patterning, for the 10nm design ...

Data is an integral part of our lives. Contrary to the past, where files had to be removed periodically to free up storage space, we now assume that our data will never be deleted. Why risk deleting ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) represents a paradigm shift in process control, offering adaptive and data‐driven strategies for the management and optimisation of complex industrial processes. By ...

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 ...

Industry 4.0 initially focused on discrete manufacturing, and now there is a growing focus on applying Industry 4.0 concepts to process automation. The same concepts are being applied to process ...

A Japanese semiconductor plant shows how autonomous control based on artificial intelligence is becoming reality. As process control technologies advance, one concept gaining prominence is autonomy.

Description: This course introduces fundamental concepts of process control systems, open-loop and closed-loop controls. Input output characteristics of process elements, dead time, and span.

Description: Introduction to process control principles and practices. Study of analog and digital signal conditioning circuitry; thermal, mechanical and optical transducters; electromechanical, ...
