Feedforward control is a type of control that takes proactive measures to prevent errors from occurring in the first place, rather than correcting them after the fact. In this case, Drelex is checking the quality of raw materials before they reach the production stage, in order to ensure that the final product is of high quality. This is an example of feedforward control.
