Advanced Process Controls

A little bit about us...

APC is an automation technology which:

· Is Model-based
· Is Predictive
· Is Multivariable
· Manages constraints

In control theory, Advanced Process Control (APC) is a broad term covering a variety of different kinds of process control tools and methodologies, used for solving multivariable dynamic control/optimization problems in real-time. Advanced process control draws elements from many disciplines ranging from control engineering, signal processing, statistics, optimization to artificial intelligence. Actively optimizes (pushes) the plant in most economical direction.

Protect & Maintain Value: ~$2BN
Number of APC Applications: 580
No. of Valves Controlled by APC: 4186
No. of APC Application Executions Performed Daily: >1 Million
No. of PACE Applications: 376

Key Working Areas

We have categorised our offerings broadly for anyone trying to understand if their problem statement can be handled by us

Ensure Safe Production

· Preparing infrastructure for market standard products like UTL, IntelaTrac, DynAMo etc.
