Over the last fifty years, almost none of the productivity gains in manufacturing have come from better chemistry or better design, or even better management and financial controls. Rather, those gains have come from better automation and control of the processes: continuous, batch, hybrid , and discrete. The secret to making manufacturing sustainable is better control. So, why aren't the theories that have led to enormous gains in productivity being used above the plant level?

Automated machinery, such as computer numerical control machines (CNM), require constant monitoring for accuracy and precision. Thus, a correct understanding of 'metrology'--the science of measurement--is essential to the successful running and maintenance of all automated machines, and especially CNC machines.

Ben W. Ebenhack and Daniel M. Martinez

Energy engineers, technology managers, and political leaders all need a solid, holistic understanding of where the world finds its energy--the limits of that energy--and what we will need to do in the future if we are to have a cleaner and environmentally sustainable world, all without sacrificing our modern technological-based civilization.

This book will shed some much needed light on that conundrum. It...

This is the definitive book on the use of variable speed drives for persons not generally familiar with electrical circuits, but exploring their use in process control applications. Many of the potential configurations are included for the various type of variable speed drives in a variety of automation applications. There is even an extensive tutorial for those of us not very familiar with electronics and with pumping technology. -- Dick Caro, ISA Fellow, CAP

A field bus is a two-way link between a programmable controller or operations monitor and an industrial device like a sensor, an electric motor, or a switch. It is a critical part of any automated industrial process—whether for factory automation (discrete processes like an assembly line) or process automation (continuous flow of materials being mixed, treated, or processed). PROFIBUS is a widely established program that allows for communication among and between controllers, fieldbuses, and actuator devices.

The storing, handling, and processing of bulk solid materials is fundamental to nearly every manufacturing and processing industry, from the food industry and agribusiness, to the plastics industry, to the mining and cement industries, to coal-fired electric utilities. Automating the handling and processing of solids is rapidly growing, but little has been published on the use of radar, especially for applications with highly dusty solids encountered in silos and other bulk storage facilities.
