Abstract

Reports the current situation and future directions of control theory and control technology which have been practically applied to Japanese industries. The control technology committee in the Japanese Society of Instrument and Control Engineering (SICE) conducted a control technology survey of Japanese industry in 1995. The committee sent 300 inquiry letters to Japanese manufacturing companies and received 110 effective answers which included 150 application examples in the practical industries. After the inquiry, the committee visited the leading companies and interviewed process and control engineers to discuss their opinions and comments regarding the inquiry
