Eliminate controller tuning and configuration

Aspen DMC3 Smart Tune technology empowers your team to make APC controllers more agile and easy to set up by simplifying tuning and configuration. The intelligent solver in Smart Tune enables configuring economic objectives directly thereby eliminating any tuning. This approach combined with a web-based view provides a much greater insight into controller strategy.

State of the art Adaptive Process Control

Aspen DMC3 Adaptive Process Control technology keeps your models updated without losing the benefits of closed loop optimizing control. Calibrate mode enables automatic background step testing while a robust algorithm proactively keeps variables within limits; eliminating any operator interventions. Commission new APC projects in weeks using seed models and adaptive process control technology.

Instantly make your controllers more robust with Aspen DMC3

Aspen DMC3 incorporates robust control technology that makes your controllers more resilient to model conditioning issues and model mismatch. The robust control feature empowers you with one single tuning factor to set the degree of optimizer aggressiveness resulting in higher APC utilization and sustained benefits even under less than ideal conditions.

Flex your process knowledge.

Using process knowledge improves model fidelity and reduces the likelihood of erroneous gains. Aspen DMC3 software makes it easy to preserve the structure of the control model by imposing real-world constraints on model identification.

Automatically identify poorly performing aspects of your APC model.

Model Quality Analysis detects performance issues with APC models and pinpoints the areas of the model needing attention.

Remove bad data automatically with ‘best engineer’ judgment.

A Test Agent monitors for issues like valve saturation, PID mode changes; process upset detection, and bad measurement readings. This includes deeper cascades or closed level controllers that may not be visible to the controller.
