APC Suite
Maximize your asset performance
What defines the APC Suite?
APC Suite is a set of process control tools that optimize your plant operations. The suite contains the most powerful PID tuning tools on the market and powerful MPC and soft sensing tools used in many processes around the world.
- PID Optimizer: PID tuning tool for tuning all PID loops on all common DCS and PLC systems. Based on engineering specifications (tracking or disturbance rejection performance). For tuning individual and interacting PID loops. PID Optimizer also supports tuning based on closed loop test data.
- Virtual Sensor: Soft sensing toolkit to estimate quality parameters like concentrations, Melt Index, Particle Size distributions, Density, and more.
- MPC Platform: A popular Model Predictive Control (MPC) tool used in the (petro)chemical, fertilizer, power, waste and cement industry around the world.
- Flexible licensing models: We offer perpetual licenses and term licenses.
The benefits of tuning PID controllers with APC Suite
- Less equipment wear and tear due to reduced process oscillations
- Fewer alarms
- Fewer operator interventions
- Maximize asset performance by
- Increased production
- Less specific energy consumption consume
- Improved quality
- Ability to use either open or closed loop data for identification and tuning
- Flexible licensing schemes including a free version
The Benefits of Using APC Suite and Soft Sensors
- Flexible licensing system (perpetual, term)
- Proven technology used by e.g. Yara worldwide, Lanxess, Sabic, Ineos, Fauji, Engro, Fatima, OCI Nitrogen, and many more
- Intuitive configuration and use
- Integrates with most DCS and PLC systems
- High return on investment
- Web-based or custom DCS user interface
