If your problem is complex and calls for Multi-variable model based predictive controls, we will utilize the best package to implement first class MPC solutions for your particular application. This is one of our core expertise and we will be glad to implement a solution with any of the packages such as RMPCT and DMCplus or any specialized packages such as Yokogawa’s Exasmoc. We are one of the few companies that have the expertise in all of these packages without a bias or incline towards any.

Our unique blend of software packages in the areas of Process Control, Process Monitoring, Process Troubleshooting and VLE/Distillation give us a distinct advantage over our competition. We have been able to utilize our knowledge in VLE and Distillation techniques as well as our experience in various processing facilities to troubleshoot process problems in manufacturing facilities. This is primarily because we have a combination of tool that most engineering companies do not have.

Our PROEVDIST package is comparable to top packages such as ChemCad and Hysis in the area of distillation but is simpler to use. It is one of our training packages. Armed with this knowledge of process engineering expertise and knowledge of controls, we are able to provide the most comprehensive advanced controls solutions for your needs whether using MPC technology or developing advanced regulatory controls solutions.

Artcon engineers have extensive experience in developing non-MPC based advanced control solutions for Polymer plants. We believe that for every application that requires MPC, there are about a dozen units that require a suitable advanced controls solution. Unfortunately, not many people have the expertise to provide these solutions so they either forcibly implement MPC which come with it’s licensing and maintenance issues or live without a solution.

Artcon engineers will work with clients in identifying the problems and developing the solutions. Artcon is also committed to incorporating the process philosophy into the control strategy. Oftentimes, control solutions do not reflect the process needs and more often than not, are not adapted to the changing conditions. Artcon will provide solutions that take into account all the factors that affect your unit from energy consumption to customer demands and product sales price to everything in between.

Artcon believes that unit based optimization is more powerful, more robust, easier to understand and implement and less costly than plant wide optimization. Please check out our optimization section for more information as we incorporate our proprietary optimization solutions into the advanced controls.
