This type of equipment requires periodic servicing for operational longevity and to comply with the requirements of microelectronics processes. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Proportional–Integral (PI) and Fuzzy-PI algorithms for controlling a three-zone open tube furnace. Initially, the furnace was identified using an AutoRegressive eXogenous (ARX) model. The model was tested using a cross-validation method with 10-steps-ahead prediction tests. The prediction showed results higher than 93.70% with Final Prediction Error (FPE) lower than 0.0007. The controllers were simulated and their parameters were tuned using the identified model. The tuned algorithms were implemented through a PC-based instrumentation in real-time. The Fuzzy-PI controller presented the best results regarding the steady-state error, controlling the temperature of the furnace with a variation less than ±1.06∘C in the flat zone at the process temperature of 900∘C with fast settling time. This innovative result presents a major step toward the modernization of high-temperature furnaces to meet the growing demands in the electronics industry.
