Advanced Process Control (APC) is a control solution that increases process performance. APC communicates with the plant’s distributed control system (DCS) or programmable logic controllers (PLC) as a level two optimization application via an OPC server that closes the loop between plant information and field actuators.

APC technologies such as fuzzy logic and model predictive control (MPC) and the inclusion of machine learning via inferentials and soft sensors allows for a robust solution to be tailored to almost any main unit on a plant.
 
Empower operations to automatically increase production and yield whilst reducing consumables with Industrial Software that is flexible in terms of integration with existing advanced process control systems as well as customizable to tackle any control problem.

Typical situations remedied with APC

  • Process is running “a safe distance” from optimum
  • Control must be optimized to adjust product quality and maximize benefits
  • Reduced site staff does not have bandwidth to identify opportunities and optimize process
  • Existing PID controllers cannot effectively manage interactions between different feedback loops
  • Controls do not include proper constraints
  • Tuning PID controllers does not improve productivity, energy usage, benefits

Savings opportunities from $300K to $5M+ annually
