Advanced Process Control

Reduce energy costs by stabilizing the process

Process Control

Technology description

Yokogawa’s all-inclusive Advanced Process Control (APC) platform brings together multi-variable control, quality estimation, complex calculation, and user interface definition — creating a unique all-in-one application — dramatically reducing deployment time and simplifying maintenance, for robust performance.

By utilizing Multi-Variable Control we can transfer the workload from the operator to the control, by making this transition we can control the process at a higher frequency whilst allowing the operator to focus on higher value operations.

Shell and Yokogawa have collaborated in the development of these APC solutions.

Yokogawa provides implementation and consulting services to all global customers.

Key features

  1. Optimum process stabilization.
  2. Deployment time reduction.
