Opportunities and functions of an APC system:

  • APC manages installation in the automatic mode. Process "data collection – forecasting – calculation and issue of new settings" repeats on each temporary clock period:
    • an APC system works in the mode of "real time".

  • APC is some kind of "auto pilot" for process system, but with more developed optimization functions, than at an auto pilot and similar to it systems.
  • An APC system manages installation, and the operator manages an APC system.
  • Visualization in real time figures of merit of products by means of virtual analyzers
  • Automatic control of figures of merit and other important technology variables
  • Stabilization of the technology mode
  • Search and maintenance of optimal operation modes of a technology object in technical and economic criteria
  • Reduction of number of violations of the mode, decrease in losses
  • Increase in level of industrial automation
  • Production reliability augmentation
