Top Control Engineering articles this week covered topics including System Integrator of the Year awards, heuristic tuning and IT/OT network integration.
1. E Tech Group, 2025 System Integrator of the Year: New digital twins
E Tech Group wins in the over $50 million in system integration revenue category for the 2025 System Integrator of the Year awards.
2. PID spotlight part 10: Heuristic tuning, deadtime-dominant self-limiting process
When a PID controller is behaving badly, do we start over? What if our open or closed loop tuning method got us almost there? Can we use what we see and a few simple rules to fix PID controller tuning in one or two easy steps? Using heuristic methods for loop tuning may be the answer. See also, part 9.
3. System Integrator of the Year, 2025
E Tech Group, Matrix Technologies and Malisko Engineering received recognition from Control Engineering and Plant Engineering in this 18th annual award.
4. More answers now: Back to basics: What you need to know about today’s PLCs
System integrators provide more answers from audience questions after the Control Engineering webcast, “Back to basics: What you need to know about today’s PLCs.”
5. Core architecture strategies for IT/OT network integration
Taking a holistic approach toward integration of IT and OT networks allows access and security requirements to be met and scaled as additional needs arise over time.
