Control Engineering articles in print often are longer online. Some articles won’t fit on paper, including articles on design tools and digitalization, distributed control system (DCS) migration, and a case study on artificial intelligence (AI) in edge computing. Below, also see four tips for getting the most from the Control Engineering digital edition.
Digitalization improves systems engineering, manufacturing automation
Digitalizationofsystems engineering helps transform existing processes and restructure for automation, increase product connectivity, meet new rules and regulations and optimize operations for uncertainties. Mark TenEyck is director of sales, Catia, Dassault Systèmes and president, International Council on Systems Engineering, Los Angeles chapter.
To help with upgrades to legacy DCS, Control Engineering offered a March 24 webcast for professional development hour (PDH) credit, “Effective process control system migration.” More information follows, along with a link to webcast, archived for one year. Lynn Njaa is business development manager, DCSNext process automation consultant, at Maverick Technologies, a CFE Media content partner. ers can be leveraged create a uniform fabric of data and automation that ties together control systems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and artificial intelligence (AI) engines. Case study shows up to 30% reduction in maintenance and call out costs and as much as 30% energy savings. Dialog Semiconductor article is edited by Chris Vavra, web content manager, Control Engineering, CFE Media and Technology.
Four tips on using the digital edition
Download an Adobe PDF version of the issue or article, and the digital edition software bookmarks, highlights, searches, scrolls and zooms. 1. Headlines link to online versions of the article that often contain more images, graphics and text, with contain live links to relate resources. See ONLINE side text in the article to learn more. 2.

CFE Media and Technology Contributor Guidelines Overview
Content For Engineers. That’s what CFE Media stands for, and what CFE Media is all about – engineers sharing with their peers. We welcome content submissions for all interested parties in engineering. We will use those materials online, on our website, in print and in newsletters to keep engineers informed about the products, solutions and industry trends. www.controleng.com/contribute explains how to submit press releases, products, images, feature articles, case studies, white papers, and other media. * Content should focus on helping engineers solve problems. Articles that are commercial or are critical of other products or organizations will be rejected. (Technology discussions and comparative tables may be accepted if non-promotional and if contributor corroborates information with sources cited.) * If the content meets criteria noted in guidelines, expect to see it first on our Websites. Content for our e-newsletters comes from content already available on our Websites. All content for print also will be online. All content that appears in our print magazines will appear as space permits, and we will indicate in print if more content from that article is available online. * Deadlines for feature articles for the print magazines are at least two months in advance of the publication date. It is best to discuss all feature articles with the appropriate content manager prior to submission.
