Autor

Dr. Cecil Smith has over 35 years experience in process control, and his expertise encompasses virtually every control technology being applied in industrial production facilities.  His primary focus is on designing a control strategy for a process and then commissioning the controls, that is, the process aspects as opposed to systems aspects.  However, he is proficient with both DCS's, PLC's, PC-based controls, and single-loop microprocessor-based controls, and is capable of resolving both process and system problems. Dr. Smith has equally extensive experience in teaching continuing education courses for practicing engineers on various aspects of process control and instrumentation.
