Control Performance Management in Industrial Automation provides a coherent and self-
contained treatment of a group of methods and applications of burgeoning importance to the …

The presence of non-linearities, such as stiction and deadband, places limits on the
performance of control valves. Indeed, in the process industries, stiction is the most common …

With ever-accelerating advancement of information, communication, sensing and
characterization technologies, such as industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and high-throughput …

The presence of nonlinearities, eg, stiction, and deadband in a control valve limits the
control loop performance. Stiction is the most commonly found valve problem in the process …

This paper presents a new data-driven process monitoring method called recursive
transformed component statistical analysis (RTCSA) for the purpose of incipient fault …

Signal processing over graphs has recently attracted significant attention for dealing with the
structured data. Normal graphs, however, only model pairwise relationships between nodes …

In this work, a new multivariate method to monitor continuous processes is developed based
on the statistics pattern analysis (SPA) framework. The SPA framework was proposed …

Stiction is a common problem in spring-diaphragm type valves, which are widely used in the
process industry. Although there have been many attempts to understand and detect stiction …

This article reviews advances in detection and diagnosis of plant-wide control system
disturbances in chemical processes and discusses new directions that look promising for the …

Disturbances in a continuous process often travel along the product stream and affect the
performance of the process. To isolate the root cause and find the path along which the …
