Description
Plants utilizing the TotalPlant™ Solution (TPS) system must adopt contemporary technology to prevent becoming outdated. Since its launch in 1998, TPS has played a pivotal role in advancing open plant automation through numerous sophisticated applications. Nonetheless, its users now face challenges related to compliance with new safety standards and the complexity of system support. By leveraging Experion LCN, operators can preserve existing control strategies, field terminations, applications, historical data, and graphics, enabling them to concentrate on high-impact enhancements. This approach reduces operational disruptions, ensures overall system consistency, and offers potential lifecycle benefits through virtualization. Furthermore, it paves the way for Honeywell's Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which facilitates the connection between people and assets, enhances predictive analytics automation, and fosters greater collaboration among stakeholders. Adapting to these modern solutions is crucial for maintaining competitive advantages in an evolving industrial landscape.
Description
Advanced Process Control (APC) provides a highly efficient solution for enhancing your plant's performance without requiring any hardware modifications. By implementing an APC application, you can stabilize operations while simultaneously optimizing production or energy usage, leading to a deeper insight into your production processes. This term encompasses a wide array of methods and technologies that complement fundamental process control systems, which are primarily constructed using PID controllers. Some examples of APC technologies include LQR, LQC, H_infinity, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and Model-Based Predictive Control (MPC). An APC application continually optimizes plant operations every minute, round-the-clock, seven days a week, ensuring consistent efficiency. Among these technologies, MPC stands out as the most widely adopted within the industry, as it utilizes a process model to forecast the plant's behavior for the near future, typically ranging from a few minutes to several hours ahead, thus providing a strategic advantage in operational planning. Through the continual refinement of processes, APC not only improves efficiency but also contributes to long-term sustainability goals.
