Feed-forward control is a proactive strategy in process engineering that mitigates disturbances before they impact final product quality. Unlike feedback control which reacts to errors, feed-forward control uses a mathematical process model to predict corrective actions based on measured input disturbances. This approach is critical in continuous manufacturing such as chemical blending or beverage dilution where precise setpoint maintenance ensures product consistency.
