Model Predictive Control for Bread Oven Temperature Regulation: Thermal Modeling, Constraint Handling and Performance Evaluation Against PID Control

Precise temperature regulation is essential in industrial bread baking to ensure product quality, energy efficiency, and process reliability. Conventional Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controllers are widely used but often exhibit overshoot, oscillation, and poor disturbance rejection under varying operatin...
