AI for Process Control Series (Part 1) — Introduction To Control Strategies
10/31/2020
Over the past few decades, the “digital revolution” has enabled manufacturers and utilities to equip their plants with distributed and supervisory control systems. Whether its industrial membranes or biological reactors, these control systems lie at the heart of heavy industry automation and enable companies to read, interpret, and use their own machine-generated data to achieve production and compliance targets. Yet despite their universality, these control systems are only recently starting to garner attention as potential candidates for disruption by artificial intelligence (AI). Using AI for process control, can significantly streamline data processing and empower operators with enhanced decision-support.
