What is INCA MPC?
Advanced Process Control (APC) serves as an effective means to boost your plant's operational efficiency without necessitating any changes to hardware. By deploying an APC application, you can achieve stable operations while optimizing either production output or energy consumption, which in turn grants valuable insights into your manufacturing workflows. This concept includes a diverse set of methodologies and technologies that enhance basic process control systems, which are mainly built upon PID controllers. For instance, technologies associated with APC feature LQR, LQC, H_infinity, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and Model-Based Predictive Control (MPC). An APC application works tirelessly to optimize plant performance every minute of every day, ensuring that operational efficiency remains consistent. Among these different techniques, MPC is particularly prominent in the industry because it employs a process model to anticipate the plant's performance in the near term, usually from a few minutes to several hours ahead, thereby offering a tactical edge in operational management. By continuously refining processes, APC not only enhances immediate efficiency but also plays a crucial role in achieving long-term sustainability objectives, making it an essential component of modern industrial practices. The integration of these advanced strategies can lead to significant improvements in both productivity and environmental impact.

Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) enables manufacturers to digitize and standardize production processes through a flexible no-code/low-code manufacturing platform. Combining digital work instructions, operator guidance, process control, and real-time data collection, CPC helps teams improve execution, reduce errors, and maintain consistent production across assembly and manufacturing operations.
With support for connected equipment and shop floor devices, manufacturers can capture production and quality data directly from operations while gaining greater visibility into performance, defects, rework, and process compliance. Product traceability capabilities provide a detailed history of each product's build and inspection record, supporting quality initiatives and continuous improvement efforts.
CPC is well suited for manufacturers managing complex product variations, dynamically presenting operators with the appropriate instructions and process requirements for each build. By connecting people, processes, and production data within a single platform, manufacturers can improve quality, increase operational visibility, and drive more consistent outcomes across the shop floor.
Available on-premises or in the cloud, CPC scales from individual production areas to enterprise-wide manufacturing environments.
