Analysis of "What-If" Scenarios
PCE Process Optimization allows users to simulate and evaluate various "what-if" conditions using highly accurate models. Additionally, these models support production planning, procurement and help assess the financial and operational benefits of potential process modifications.
From Offline Decision Support to Closed-Loop Optimization
Once models are created and validated, they can be used immediately for offline decision support, enabling engineers to simulate process adjustments without operational risk.
For increased efficiency, an Open Loop Online Model connects to a real-time data historian, allowing automated or on-demand execution. This provides operators with precise equipment settings to maintain optimal performance.
The next evolution is the Closed Loop Online Model, where model outputs are automatically sent to the control system for real-time control adjustments. Operators can monitor live interactions between the model and plant operations, ensuring continuous optimization.
Intricate sequences can be scheduled to execute at predetermined intervals or based on custom triggers. They can also be dynamically controlled to respond to specific process conditions or for closed-loop optimization without manual intervention.
