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 ...

Advanced Process Control includes Multi-variable Predictive Control (MPC) solutions that provide closed loop control and real-time model-based control of a continuous process using empirical or ...

Industrial AI operates in the physical world. A compressor has a real operating envelope. A distillation column has hydraulic and thermodynamic limits. A reactor has temperature and pressure ...

Increasingly tight tolerances and rigorous demands for quality are forcing chipmakers and equipment manufacturers to ferret out minor process variances, which can create significant anomalies in ...

Chipmakers are relying on machine learning for electroplating and wafer cleaning at leading-edge process nodes, augmenting traditional fault detection/classification and statistical process control in ...
