What is PlantPAx?

Producers like you have the necessary skills to navigate the complex challenges of maintaining competitiveness in today’s market environment. This necessity spans numerous industries, such as pharmaceuticals, consumer products, food and beverage, mining, and chemicals. As a result, adopting cutting-edge technological advancements is crucial for propelling your digital transformation initiatives forward. Throughout your organization—ranging from control rooms to board meetings—users of process systems continually face the difficulty of maximizing productivity while adhering to budget constraints and managing available resources, all while addressing evolving operational risks. By confronting these issues directly, you can achieve substantial productivity gains throughout your facility using the PlantPAx distributed control system (DCS). The capabilities of this system can significantly impact the longevity of your plant operations, ensuring that integrated and scalable solutions enhance productivity, increase profitability, and reduce operational risks. Ultimately, investing in such sophisticated systems not only fosters a more resilient production environment but also positions your organization for future growth and success. Embracing innovation will empower you to stay ahead of the competition in an ever-changing industry landscape.

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.
