Since their introduction at ISA Tech 1997, Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) control products have been widely deployed in most major process industries, and the customers continue to realize significant economic benefits. Adaptive, robust, and easy to use, MFA controllers have been successfully applied to solve many industry-wide control problems with minimal investment and risk.

In this section, we list the difficult control problems that exist in all major process industries. In a tabular format, we’ve presented a roadmap for your use in addressing these control problems – what process variable is controlled by which MFA controller. We’ve attempted to make it easy for you to find the application that closest fits your situation. Application stories have also been included, which highlight the successes of selected customers.
