PID has been the primary method of control in the glass industry for many years, however, times are changing. Advanced computers with faster processing power and more member are making the seemingly impossible, quite feasible, as described in this article. New technology in process control can trim production costs, improve product quality, and ultimately increase profits. New Model based Control (MBC) is drastically out performing PID controls by quickly stabilising temperature variations in order to provide high quality glass with optimum field efficiency.
