Extrusion Controls in the Next Millennium, 2000 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings
William Hellmuth--Integrating existing technologies in new ways will generate control systems that provide creative business solutions for film producers. The change in controls and automation systems will come from existing technologies in communications, sensors, Intelligent Appliance chips, and computing technologies. The drive behind these changes will be the flexible, agile, demand-based production facilities of the not-so-distant future. This paper will discuss what the average film producer can expect from an integrated control system in the new millennium.
