Process Control & Inspection: Breaking The Boundaries Of Pid

Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) might have been the primary method of control in the glass industry for the past 50 years, but times are changing. Advanced computers with faster processing power and more memory are making the seemingly impossible quite feasible. New technology in process control can trim production costs, improve product quality and increase profits. New Model Based Control (MBC) is outperforming PID controls by stabilising temperature variations in order to provide high-quality glass with optimum fuel efficiency.
