Description

Advanced Process Control (APC) provides a highly efficient solution for enhancing your plant's performance without requiring any hardware modifications. By implementing an APC application, you can stabilize operations while simultaneously optimizing production or energy usage, leading to a deeper insight into your production processes. This term encompasses a wide array of methods and technologies that complement fundamental process control systems, which are primarily constructed using PID controllers. Some examples of APC technologies include LQR, LQC, H_infinity, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and Model-Based Predictive Control (MPC). An APC application continually optimizes plant operations every minute, round-the-clock, seven days a week, ensuring consistent efficiency. Among these technologies, MPC stands out as the most widely adopted within the industry, as it utilizes a process model to forecast the plant's behavior for the near future, typically ranging from a few minutes to several hours ahead, thus providing a strategic advantage in operational planning. Through the continual refinement of processes, APC not only improves efficiency but also contributes to long-term sustainability goals.

Description

Pitops stands out as the sole software solution capable of executing genuine closed-loop system identification with PID controllers in Auto mode, or even with secondary PID controllers in Cascade mode, without the necessity of interrupting the cascade chain or undertaking additional, labor-intensive plant step tests. No other competitor tool is capable of successfully identifying transfer functions using data from PID controllers in Cascade mode, making Pitops unparalleled in this regard. Additionally, Pitops conducts transfer function identification entirely in the time domain, unlike other tools that rely on the more intricate Laplace (S) or Discrete (Z) domains. It also has the remarkable ability to manage multiple inputs and identify several transfer functions simultaneously. Utilizing a groundbreaking proprietary algorithm, Pitops facilitates multiple inputs closed-loop transfer function system identification in the time domain, significantly surpassing traditional methods like ARX/ARMAX/Box and Jenkins used by competing tools. This innovative approach not only streamlines the process but also enhances accuracy and efficiency, making Pitops the preferred choice in the industry.
