Automation

Containerization Containerization is the packaging of software and its dependencies into isolated runtime units that can run consistently across environments. It improves portability and deployment consistency. Software Continuous Deployment Continuous Deployment is a software delivery practice in which validated code changes are automatically released to production without manual release steps. Operations Continuous Integration Continuous Integration is a software practice in which code changes are frequently merged and validated through automated builds and tests. It reduces integration risk. Software Continuous Process Control Continuous Process Control is control of processes that run without discrete batch boundaries and must remain stable as conditions change over time. Operations Control Configuration Management Control Configuration Management is the versioned handling of control logic, parameters, and related settings for industrial systems. Operations Control Loop Control Loop is a feedback mechanism that measures system output, compares it with a target, and applies corrective action. It is the basis of regulated automation. Operations Control Loop Tuning Control Loop Tuning is the adjustment of control parameters so a feedback control loop responds stably and meets its performance target. Operations Control Signal Resolution Control Signal Resolution is the smallest change in a control signal that can be represented or applied by the system. Operations Control System A control system is a feedback-based arrangement that compares observed state with a target and adjusts outputs to reduce error. It may be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated depending on… Concept/Framework Controller A controller is a component that receives input about system state, compares it with a target or rule set, and outputs a control action. It may be implemented in dedicated… Hardware
