ExperTune has released a Web-based presentation that outlines methods for managing the performance of process plants in real-time to get "huge increases in performance and productivity." The presentation describes a set of tools required to achieve real-time performance management. CEO of the Wisconsin company, John Gerry, explained: "First, software is required to continually monitor all plant areas, and continually assess the performance of these areas." He continued: "After talking to engineers in many industries, we recognized that the areas of biggest opportunity must be pinpointed by software. They told us they wanted tools that are integrated to easily drill-down, diagnose, troubleshoot and repair the problems found in these areas.
Further, that the tools allow tracking of the performance over time accessible to all personnel." Mr. Gerry added: "So that is exactly what we have now provided. We have incorporated the needs and wants of engineers in the process industries and other areas of manufacturing, and incorporated the proven concepts we have generated during almost two decades of providing practical help to engineers." The genial CEO explained that, for 17 years, ExperTune had been creating award winning optimization software that runs in thousands of plants worldwide.
The latest presentation outlines how to enhance and simplify the ongoing maintenance of the entire control system infrastructure.ExperTune's full suite of optimisation tools are designed to increase the efficiency of processes. Its PlantTriage monitors and assesses the entire plant, ensuring optimal operation.
The company's analysis tools include simulation, modeling, robustness, linearization, valve wear analysis, pH linearizer, time series analysis, multivariable, statistical, frequency response, and PID tuning tools.The presentation is available free at http://www.expertune.com/present.asp?name=realtime - or from the presentation page at ExperTune.com: The presentation is available at no-charge, anytime, anywhere via: http://www.expertune.com/LearnCast.html
