Sheet and film processes include polymer film extrusion, coating processes of many types, paper manufacturing, sheet metal rolling, and plate glass manufacture. Identification, estimation, monitoring, and control of sheet and film processes are of substantial industrial interest since effective control means reduced usage of raw materials, increased production rates, improved product quality, elimination of product rejects, and reduced energy consumption. This paper reviews recent developments in sheet and film process control with particular attention to the effectiveness of existing techniques at addressing the critical aspects of sheet and film processes.
