Modern control system design is increasingly embracing data-driven methodologies, which bypass the traditional necessity for precise process models by utilising experimental input–output data. This ...

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 ...

A system-engineering approach is essential for an efficient design in a complex system. Comprehension of conflicting requirements of participating subsystems and integrated designs are key elements ...

The integration of generative AI (GenAI) into tools such as cloud-based SaaS (software-as-a-service) products are driving dynamic transformation in the industrial automation space. The emergence of ...

ISA recently published the third edition of Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application by Harold L. Wade, Ph.D., PE. In this Q&A feature, Dr. Wade highlights the focus, ...

Continuous-process industries are at an inflection point regarding what they can do with automation, making now an ideal time to address inefficiencies and hazards. The era of the remote workforce has ...

Learn to apply control systems in automotive, energy, aerospace, robotics, and manufacturing sectors. Apply feedback control laws to stabilize systems and achieve performance goals. Control systems ...

Safety, reliability, and productivity in the nuclear industry result from a systematic consideration of human performance. A plant or other facility consists of both the engineered system and the ...

Since about 2015, when Don Bartusiak, the then chief engineer at ExxonMobil Research & Engineering, publicly advocated for the development of a new, standards-based, open—yet secure—process control ...

Most engineers are surprised to learn that the term mechatronics isnearly 40 years old. It was first used in1969 by Tetsuro Mori, anengineer at the Yaskawa Company, to describe a system composed ...
