The MPC Platform in a Nutshell

MPC Platform is the APC technology that allows operating companies to generate sustained benefits with high ROI and with a low Total Cost of Ownership.

 

It is capable of handling applications ranging in scope from one single distillation column to a full ethylene plant.

MPC Platform

A suite of tools that allow the easy development and deployment of an APC application

Orise Digital’s MPC Platform software creates value by continuously optimizing the key process parameters online, in a closed loop, keeping the plant in the most economical operating point every minute of every day, 24/7. 

 

To be able to do that, the MPC Platform predicts the plant behavior, accounting for plant disturbances and takes all plant constraints into account. This will result in: 

 

  • Less equipment wear and tear, thanks to reduced process oscillations 
  • Fewer alarms 
  • Minimal operator interventions 
  • More efficient plant operations 
    • Higher production 
    • Less specific energy consumption 
    • Better quality control 
    • And more 
  • APC Suite Acquire: Quick and easy tool to start data collection from your DCS 
  • APC Suite Discovery: Modeling package that allows you to build dynamic models based on plant data 
    • Provides ability to include a-priori knowledge about the process in the identification cases (for example: known gain ratios, known delays, etc). 
  • APC Suite Architect: Offline configuration and simulation package for MPC and soft sensor development 
  • APC Suite Runtime Environment: The MPC controller that optimizes your plant operation on a minute-to-minute basis 
    • The soft sensor accurately estimates product qualities like concentrations, melt flow rate, particle size distribution, all in real time 
  • APC Suite Webviewer: Web-based operator and engineer interface to the control application 
    • Access and authorization levels are role-based and fully configurable
