Summary

In this chapter, we saw industry examples for tension control and the challenges faced by machine builders and software developers to build accurate and precise tension control systems with high reaction times. We introduced you to the various challenges faced in our daily lives, with examples that explained the concept of tension and the need to monitor and manage it well. We then introduced you to the real-life industry challenges and practical scenarios where tension plays a vital role, which if not monitored or maintained leads to waste and losses. We then moved on to provide various perspectives on industry applications, such as paper and textiles. All these topics highlighted in detail the need for tension control and the results if not managed properly.

Jacob was surprised by these insights on tension control. He had never imagined that tension control could play such a big role in the products being used daily. Thanks to Josef, Jacob now had a better understanding...
