process control
| Automatic computerized control of a manufacturing process, such as glassmaking. The computer receives feedback information from sensors about the performance of the machines involved, and compares this with ideal performance data stored in its control program. It then outputs instructions to adjust automatically the machines' settings. |
| Because the computer can monitor and reset each machine hundreds of times each minute, performance can be maintained at levels that are very close to the ideal. |
