Recorders Play An Essential Role In Emissions Monitoring, Elizabeth C. Scheyder Mar 1996

Recorders Play An Essential Role In Emissions Monitoring, Elizabeth C. Scheyder

Elizabeth C Scheyder

PC-based recording devices perform many of the data acquisition tasks required by regulatory agencies today, but end users continue to rely on traditional paper-based recorders for extra comfort.


Distributed Control Takes New Shapes Under Pc Pressure, Elizabeth C. Scheyder Dec 1995

Distributed Control Takes New Shapes Under Pc Pressure, Elizabeth C. Scheyder

Elizabeth C Scheyder

PCs are making inroads in process control, but DCSs still rule in many applications. Here is why engineers go the DCS route, and what DCS makers are doing to keep it that way.


Optimizing Food And Pharmaceutical Process Design With Relational Databases, Elizabeth C. Scheyder Sep 1991

Optimizing Food And Pharmaceutical Process Design With Relational Databases, Elizabeth C. Scheyder

Elizabeth C Scheyder

When designing a new food or pharmaceutical facility, a relational database is an effective tool for engineers. A centralized database on personal computers inexpensively provides the structure and accessibility for a great quantity of detailed information about equipment, instrumentation, and process parameters, as well as the ability to share this information between engineers and between disciplines. Benefits of such a system include improved quality through streamlined data checking, project-wide access to the latest data, automation of calculations, and the ability to substitute clerical time for professional time in compiling reports.

Relational Database Applications In Manufacturing System Design., Elizabeth C. Scheyder

Elizabeth C Scheyder

Relational databases can be implemented as an effective design tool during the Preliminary and Final Engineering phases of manufacturing system design projects. The use of a hierarchical relational database structure will be shown to enhance system development, handling detailed information about electrical, mechanical, chemical or other parameters of system components and their applications. Holding such information in a central database structure as it becomes available maximizes its accessibility and coordinates communication between disciplines involved in the project. This enables calculations to be automated, ensures data integrity, and minimizes redundant compilation and typing of data. The ability to interface with a …
