What is COLUMBO?

A universal multivariable optimizer, designed for closed-loop systems, aims to improve the performance and quality of Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems. This optimizer harnesses data from Excel files derived from Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) by Aspen Tech, Robust Model Predictive Control Technology (RMPCT) from Honeywell, or Predict Pro from Emerson, facilitating the development and fine-tuning of precise models for various multivariable-controller variable (MV-CV) pairs. This cutting-edge optimization solution does away with the need for step tests that are usually required by Aspen Tech and Honeywell, functioning entirely in the time domain to maintain user-friendliness, compactness, and efficiency. As Model Predictive Controls (MPC) often involve numerous dynamic models—sometimes tens or even hundreds—there is a significant risk of utilizing incorrect models. Inaccurate dynamic models in MPCs can introduce bias, which appears as model prediction errors, leading to inconsistencies between expected signals and actual sensor measurements. COLUMBO emerges as a robust tool to bolster the precision of Model Predictive Control (MPC) models, effectively leveraging either open-loop or fully closed-loop data to guarantee peak performance. By tackling the risks associated with errors in dynamic models, COLUMBO not only enhances the reliability of the control system but also contributes to a more efficient operational framework. Ultimately, its implementation is expected to yield substantial advancements in control system effectiveness across various applications.

What is Aspen DMC3?

Improve accuracy and sustainability in advanced process control (APC) frameworks by merging linear and nonlinear variables through advanced deep learning methodologies, thus enhancing their functional effectiveness. Realize better returns on investment through rapid deployment of controllers, consistent model adjustments, and optimized workflows that make it easier for engineers to adopt these systems. Revolutionize model development with the aid of artificial intelligence and simplify the calibration of controllers by employing guided wizards that define both linear and nonlinear optimization objectives. Increase controller uptime by utilizing cloud solutions for the retrieval, visualization, and analysis of real-time key performance indicators (KPIs). In today's fast-paced global economy, the energy and chemical sectors must adapt with greater flexibility to market fluctuations to maximize profit margins. Aspen DMC3 stands out as a cutting-edge digital tool that helps organizations achieve a throughput increase of 2-5%, a yield boost of 3%, and a 10% reduction in energy consumption. Delve into the advantages provided by next-generation advanced process control technologies to maintain competitiveness and efficiency in the sector. The incorporation of these innovative solutions not only tackles pressing operational issues but also equips companies for enduring success in a marketplace that is becoming increasingly competitive. Additionally, embracing these advancements can foster a culture of continuous improvement, further driving operational excellence.
