Compare Model Predictive Control Toolbox vs. SmartDX

The Model Predictive Control Toolbox™ offers a comprehensive suite of functions, an intuitive app, Simulink® blocks, and practical reference examples to facilitate the development of model predictive control (MPC) systems. It caters to linear challenges by enabling the creation of implicit, explicit, adaptive, and gain-scheduled MPC strategies. For more complex nonlinear scenarios, users can execute both single-stage and multi-stage nonlinear MPC. Additionally, this toolbox includes deployable optimization solvers and permits the integration of custom solvers. Users can assess the effectiveness of their controllers through closed-loop simulations in MATLAB® and Simulink environments. For applications in automated driving, the toolbox also features MISRA C®- and ISO 26262-compliant blocks and examples, allowing for a swift initiation of projects related to lane keep assist, path planning, path following, and adaptive cruise control. You have the capability to design implicit, gain-scheduled, and adaptive MPC controllers that tackle quadratic programming (QP) problems, and you can generate an explicit MPC controller derived from an implicit design. Furthermore, the toolbox supports discrete control set MPC for handling mixed-integer QP challenges, thus broadening its applicability in diverse control systems. With these extensive features, the toolbox ensures that both novice and experienced users can effectively implement advanced control strategies.

SmartDX transforms the approach to tracking and recognizing individual audience members from the very first click, enabling the mapping of their journeys across various devices, facilitating contextual omnichannel engagements, and attributing conversions at a highly personalized segment-of-one level. This innovative solution presents a robust alternative to traditional cookies, effectively reducing delays in contextual responses and eliminating lags within customer journeys. It allows for the capture of unique insights related to individual journeys and diverse audience attributes, including device, channel, conversion metrics, offers, and behavioral insights—both implicit and explicit—right at the moment of engagement and at various endpoints. Additionally, SmartDX distinguishes between known and unknown users, resolving the multiple digital identities of each audience member across different channels. By employing progressive profiling throughout interactions and touchpoints, it continuously enhances existing audience profiles, paving the way for customized communications and tailored audience experiences. Moreover, it ensures smooth transitions across omnichannel interactions, providing seamless journeys that are informed by past engagements and preferences. This approach ultimately leads to a more personalized and effective marketing strategy that resonates with individual audience members.
