Advanced Process Control (APC) is a very cost effective way to optimize your plant performance without changing the hardware. An APC application stabilizes the operation and optimizes production and\/or energy consumption. As a very valuable side effect, it also results in a better understanding of your production process.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n What is Advanced Process Control (APC)? <\/h2>\n
\n

Advanced Process Ccontrol (APC) refers to a broad range of techniques and technologies that interact with the base layer process control systems (built up with PID controls). Some APC technologies are e.g. LQR, LQC, H_infinity, Neural, fuzzy, and MPC (Model-Based Predictive Control). From the list above MPC is the most commonly used technology in the process industry.<\/p>\n

An APC application optimizes your plant every minute, over and over again, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Follow the APC example step by step to get a better understanding of the APC basics and learn everything you need to know about APC to optimize your plant performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Model Predictive Control software <\/h2>\n
\n

MPC is the most popular APC technology used in the industry. The Model Predictive Control software uses a model of the process to predict the behavior of the plant in the foreseeable future. Typically a couple of minutes to even several hours ahead. Model Predictive Control software is easy to integrate, intuitive, and will help you reach a stable production process.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Orise Digital’s MPC platform creates value by continuously optimizing the key process parameters online, in closed loop, keeping the plant in the most economical operating point every minute, 24\/7.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be able to do that, the MPC Platform predicts the plant behavior, account for plant disturbances and takes all plant constraints into account. This will result in:<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

    \n
  • Reduced process oscillations resulting in less wear and tear of the equipment<\/li>\n
  • Less alarms<\/li>\n
  • Less operator interventions<\/li>\n
  • More efficient plant operations (higher production, less specific energy consumption, better quality control)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
