Control Station Invited by Leading Industry Publication to Share Best-Practices

Expert Contributions to Plant Services to Address Demand for Process Control and Plant Optimization.

Manchester, CT, March 17, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Control Station today announced that it has been engaged by Plant Services magazine as a regular contributor to the publication’s online presence. Contributions from Control Station will address the growing need among both manufacturing and operations staff for access to information and insights related to process control and plant optimization.

Control Station’s Dr. Robert Rice will author a blog and share his professional experience, personal insights along with proven best-practices for maintaining effective plant-wide control. Dr. Rice is a recognized expert in model-based and advanced controls, and he serves as Control Station’s Vice President of Engineering. Dr. Rice has published extensively on topics associated with automatic process control and he is a regular speaker at industry conferences. His monthly contributions to Plant Services will be published under the byline The Feedback Loop.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Control Station and Dr. Rice,” commented Thomas Wilk, the publication’s Editor in Chief. “The Feedback Loop is the latest addition to Plant Services’ online presence, and it provides our audience with another valuable source of expert advice.”

“Plant Services’ core mission is to deliver impactful content that fosters a culture of safe, profitable plant operations. Since its inception Control Station has assumed a similar stance and invested heavily in products and services that enable manufacturers to realize those goals,” shared Dennis Nash, Control Station’s President.

Formed in 1988, Control Station was among the first companies to introduce a software-based training and skills development curriculum that incorporates the use of dynamic process simulations. Rather than focusing narrowly on control theory the Practical Process Control curriculum emphasizes proven best-practices for improving the performance of a production facility’s extensive network of regulatory controllers. For nearly thirty years the curriculum has been used by colleges and universities in over forty countries to prepare engineering students for successful careers in industry. It also serves as the basis for blogs published by Control Station, including The Control Station Blog and Controlguru.com.

The inaugural post to The Feedback Loop was published in February 2017 with a second post added earlier this month. Content will be published to the blog on a monthly basis, addressing a range of topics from Process Control and Plant-Wide Optimization to Identifying Mechanical Issues and Avoiding Unplanned Downtime.
