With the continued need for shrinking pattern dimensions, semiconductor manufacturers continue to implement more complex patterning techniques, such as advanced multi-patterning, for the 10nm design ...

It isn’t always clear when to choose to verify or validate manufacturing processes. But experts from the US Food and Drug ...

There is no single solution, but there plenty of room for improvement—and lots of investment around better use of data. Equipment and tools vendors are starting to focus on data as a means of ...

With the drive to reshore manufacturing operations back to the United States, automation is increasingly viewed as a crucial enabler to make domestic production economically viable versus offshore ...

Manufacturers on a journey to make production processes “smarter” typically start by aggregating data from around the plant with the ultimate goal of optimizing systems and operations. Of course, ...

Which subjects should be included in the curriculum of an undergraduate process control course, and which should not?

Integrated processes are those that combine more than one specific unit process into a single piece of equipment or into a group of work stations that are operated under unified control (NRC, 1992).
