What is Pavilion8?

Navigating the intricacies of industrial processes poses a considerable challenge for companies aiming to remain agile in response to market needs while also maintaining economic viability. To tackle these challenges effectively, manufacturers must refine their production methods, allowing for a broader selection of high-value products and the capacity to handle shorter production runs. It is crucial for them to boost productivity, optimize their operational efficiency, and improve product quality to the highest level achievable with their current equipment. This goal can be accomplished by maximizing equipment uptime and enabling smoother transitions, all while minimizing waste. Additionally, there is a growing public demand for manufacturers to reduce their environmental impact and comply with stringent emissions standards. Rockwell Automation's Pavilion8® Model Predictive Control (MPC) technology acts as a sophisticated intelligence layer that integrates seamlessly with automation systems, continually guiding the plant towards a range of business objectives, including cost reduction, lower emissions, consistent quality, and enhanced production—all in real time. This cutting-edge methodology not only boosts operational efficiency but also aligns with sustainability goals, strategically positioning manufacturers for triumph in a rapidly changing marketplace. As the industry evolves, embracing such innovative technologies will be vital for maintaining competitive advantage.

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.
