About INCA MPC
Advanced Process Control (APC) is a very cost-effective way to optimize your plant performance without changing the hardware. An APC application stabilizes the operation and optimizes production and/or energy consumption. A very valuable side effect also results in a better understanding of your production process. Advanced process control (APC) refers to a broad range of techniques and technologies that interact with the base layer process control systems (built up with PID controls). Some APC technologies are e.g. LQR, LQC, H_infinity, Neural, fuzzy, and MPC (Model-Based Predictive Control). An APC application optimizes your plant every minute, over and over again, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. MPC is the most popular APC technology used in the industry. The Model Predictive Control software uses a model of the process to predict the behavior of the plant in the foreseeable future. Typically a couple of minutes to even several hours ahead.

Pavilion8
Complex industrial processes make it challenging to be both market-driven and sustain profitable operations. Manufacturers must adjust their production methodology to introduce a greater variety of higher-value products and shorter production runs. They need to produce more, run efficiently and improve product quality to the limits of available equipment. For this, they must ensure maximum uptime and more efficient transitions with less waste. In addition, manufacturers are facing stronger public demand to reduce their environmental impact and operate within regulated emissions limits. Rockwell Automation Pavilion8® Model Predictive Control (MPC) technology is an intelligence layer on top of automation systems that continuously drives the plant to achieve multiple business objectives—cost reductions, decreased emissions, consistent quality, and production increases—in real-time.

COLUMBO
Closed-loop universal multivariable optimizer for Model Predictive Control (MPC) performance and Model Predictive Control (MPC) quality improvements. Use data in Excel files from DMC (Dynamic Matrix Control) from Aspen Tech, or from RMPCT (Robust Model Predictive Control Technology) from Honeywell, or Predict Pro from Emerson and use it to generate and improve correct models for the various MV-CV pairs. Amazing new optimization technology does not need step tests as required by Aspen tech, Honeywell, and others. It Works entirely in the time domain, is easy to use, compact, and practical. Model Predictive Controls (MPC) can have 10s or 100s of dynamic models. One or more could be wrong. Bad (wrong) Model Predictive Control (MPC) dynamic models produce a bias (model prediction error) between the predicted signal and the measured signal coming from the sensor. COLUMBO will help you to improve Model Predictive Control (MPC) models with either open-loop or completely closed-loop data.
