... The development of improved process control technologies depends on cooperative efforts by multidisciplinary teams. The capabilities required to develop and implement new process control technologies vary significantly depending on the specific process science involved and on the maturity of the technology.

... STRATEGY FOR A PROCESS CONTROLS INITIATIVE The panel recommends that OIT research be focused on the development of process sensors and control technologies to meet the needs of the IOF industries. In Chapter 2, the panel identified common industry needs for process sensing and manufacturing process controls based on common IOF process attributes.

... . Common process sensing needs include · measuring temperature profiles in harsh processing environments · measuring chemical composition/stoichiometry in harsh processing envi ronments · measuring physical attributes at high line speeds and high temperatures · monitoring combustion processes Common needs for process controls include methodologies that enable in-situ-level process control hybrid process models plantwide or enterprise-level optimization tools for open-architecture applications adaptive control systems methods and diagnostic tools for condition-based maintenance of process equipment To address these needs, the OIT program should include (1)
