In the manufacturing world, the word “retrofit” many times is feared to mean “lost production.” In other words, plants—or at least parts of plants—must be shut down for equipment to be upgraded. And ...

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

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 ...

The growing demand for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, driven by applications such as electric vehicles and long-duration energy storage, has increased the pressure on battery manufacturers to enhance ...

Manufacturers are adopting hybrid models that combine on-premises edge computing for real-time control with cloud services for historical data storage and advanced analytics, supported by open ...

Bioprocessing is an umbrella term that describes the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of products derived from or used by biological systems. For industrial purposes, ...

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is a widely used technique in materials science, particularly in the fabrication of thin films and coatings, as well as the synthesis of advanced materials. It involves ...

The BioPharma sector is under constant pressure to bring more novel therapies to market, more quickly and affordably. Attaining this goal requires improved operational control and continuous real-time ...
