In a recent article, a U.K. group outlined their vision for downstream process analytic technology (PAT) and quality by design (QbD) within the context of batch vs. continuous chromatography. The ...

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 ...

AI-driven process monitoring enhances the qualification of additively manufactured stainless-steel parts. By analysing high-frequency welding current and voltage signals in both the time and frequency ...

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 ...

Chip designers working on advanced nodes typically include a fabric of sensors spread across the die for a number of very specific reasons. In this, the second of a three-part blog series, we explore ...

Distributed control systems and programmable logic controllers have long been used to regulate power plant operations, but advanced techniques that have been proven in refining and other industries ...

It’s an interesting time in history of advanced process control (APC), a term that encompasses a range of sophisticated software tools and technologies used to optimize plant performance, primarily in ...

It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

In wastewater treatment, monitoring organic loads, particularly Total Organic Carbon (TOC), has become critical to maintaining efficient and effective operations. This is especially true in industries ...

Advances in medical technology are reshaping how weight loss clinics help patients achieve safer, more consistent results—especially when it comes to weight loss injections. What was once a simple ...
