Automation Chat

** Named Best Podcast 2 Consecutive Years! 2022 & 2023 Apex Awards of Publication Excellence.

In this episode, The Journal's Executive Editor Theresa Houck chats with Dennis Nash, President & CEO of Control Station, about manufacturing process control and PID tuning. You'll learn:

• What role the PID tuning plays in process manufacturing, and how advances in automation infrastructure have affected the use of PID controllers.
• The difference between PID tuning and modeling, and how they're related.
• The most common methods for accessing data used to calculate a model and generate tuning parameters.
• Advantages and disadvantages of using both historical data and live data.
• How to use "live historical" data to get the best of both worlds, including cybersecurity.

And as always, get your family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.
