Top 5 Control Engineering<\/em> content over the past week covered improving mining safety, PID performance, Automate 2024 coverage and more. Links to each article below.<\/p>\n

1. Improving underground mining safety with millimeter wave technology<\/a><\/h2>\n

A professor began a project to design and deploy an emerging imaging and networking technology to improve safety and overcome hazardous conditions of underground mines.<\/p>\n

2. PID spotlight, part 6: Deadtime? How to boost controller performance anyway<\/a><\/h2>\n

Lengthy deadtime adversely affects the PID control of any process. Knowing the process lag\/deadtime ratio will tell how well (or not) a PID controller will work. Can your PID controller be a hero? See \u201cQuick-start PID tuning tips to tune many controllers quickly\u201d and 10 graphs to help.<\/p>\n

3. Automate 2024 Interview: Martin Buena-Franco, Raymond Corporation, highlights automation, robotics<\/a><\/h2>\n

WTWH Media senior editor Chris Vavra discusses robotics and automation with Martin Buena-Franco, automation solutions marketing manager for\u00a0Raymond Corporation<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Automate 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. New developments in robotic welding, cobots, industrial robots<\/a><\/h2>\n

Advances in robots and robotic systems integrated with welding and safety technologies, collaborative robots and industrial robots were shown at Automate 2024 event by A3, the Association for Advancing Automation, in Chicago.<\/p>\n

5. Global manufacturing industry recovery in 2025 to follow sluggish 2024<\/a><\/h2>\n

The global manufacturing economy will remain sluggish in 2024 and is forecast to expand by just 0.6% compared with last year.<\/p>\n

The list was developed using CFE Media\u2019s web analytics for stories viewed on controleng.com<\/a>, July 22-28, 2024, for articles published within the last two months.<\/p>\n
