In recent years, industrial companies have made significant infrastructure investments in APCs but have extracted only a small fraction of their value. In some cases, less than 10 percent of installed APCs are activated or optimized, while others have not been reevaluated to ensure inputs and constraints are properly tuned and solving for the right objective. And those companies that do tune their APCs sometimes fail to sufficiently test them, or they lack adequate management systems to track and report performance and rely on external vendors for maintenance.

APC reduces process instability, resulting in more uniform product quality, yield improvements and reduction in energy usage. When needed, APC allows for operation closer to constraints, improving throughput, productivity and profitability.

If your company’s intellectual capital resides within your individual resources,whenever these resources take time off or retire, they take their knowledge with them, and your efficiency suffers. 

The sure way to keep your operation running efficiently is to capture that intellectual capital within the process itself. You can make it happen with Texas Petro Process advanced process control consulting services.
