Advanced Process Control (APC) is a set of control strategies and technologies that operate above basic regulatory control to optimize industrial processes. APC enables industries to achieve higher efficiency, better quality, reduced variability, and lower operating costs by predicting process behavior and adjusting control actions proactively.
APC manages multiple interacting process variables simultaneously, ensuring coordinated control across units and eliminating control conflicts.
Operational, safety, and quality constraints are continuously monitored and respected while driving the process toward optimal performance.
Dynamic process models predict future behavior, allowing the control system to act before deviations occur rather than reacting after the fact.
Advanced Process Control integrates seamlessly with existing automation systems such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and plant historians. When combined with manufacturing intelligence, analytics, and digital platforms, APC becomes a core enabler of smart manufacturing and Industry initiatives.
APC transforms operational data into real-time control intelligence, forming the foundation for advanced analytics, AI-driven optimization, and autonomous operations.
