Breakthrough flexibility and ways of use for building, deploying, and managing APC Applications

8. OT Asset Optimisation APC

Bring together the power of data to operate your plant more efficient, with advanced visualisation software that helps production, quality and process engineers remedy and avoid events that limit production profitability. BluESP’s Advanced Process Control has been on the forefront of Multivariable Model Predictive Control (MPC) projects since 2000 and a multitude of benefit-driven projects have been implemented across the world in both the Mining, Metals and Minerals sector as well as the Petrochemical sector.9. OT Asset optimisation APC Features

The petrochemical sector traditionally being the early adopters of Advanced Process Control, BluESP used their knowledge and experience gained there to apply APC in the Mining sector, with great success.

Sustainability

Many APC solutions suffer from degrading benefits. Process changes, equipment aging and changing economic conditions are but a few of the factors that drive the need to maintain controller models.  While many competitors offer basic performance monitoring capabilities, AspenTech Advanced Process Control goes beyond simple Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by providing detection, diagnostics and corrective action features. These features work together to rapidly detect, isolate and correct problems with APC applications without increasing the burden on your staff.
