Complex industrial processes make it challenging to be both market-driven and sustain profitable operations. Manufacturers must adjust their production methodology to introduce a greater variety of higher-value products and shorter production runs. They need to produce more, run efficiently and improve product quality to the limits of available equipment. For this, they must ensure maximum uptime and more efficient transitions with less waste. In addition, manufacturers are facing stronger public demand to reduce their environmental impact and operate within regulated emissions limits. Rockwell Automation Pavilion8® Model Predictive Control (MPC) technology is an intelligence layer on top of automation systems that continuously drives the plant to achieve multiple business objectives—cost reductions, decreased emissions, consistent quality, and production increases—in real-time.

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. A very valuable side effect also results in a better understanding of your production process. Advanced process control (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). An APC application optimizes your plant every minute, over and over again, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. 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.

Develop more accurate and sustainable APC models covering a wider operational range by combining linear and nonlinear variables with deep learning. Improve ROI with rapid controller deployment, continuous model improvement and simplified workflows to enable easier use by engineers. Revolutionize model building with AI and streamline controller tuning with step-by-step wizards to specify linear and nonlinear optimization objectives. Increase controller uptime by accessing, visualizing and analyzing real-time KPIs in the cloud. In today’s ever-evolving global economy, energy and chemical companies need to operate with newfound agility to meet market demand and maximize margins. Aspen DMC3 is a next-generation digital technology helping companies sustain a 2-5% improvement in throughput, a 3% increase in yield and 10% reduction in energy consumption.
