IMTS 2022 Conference: Using State-Based PID Controller Analytic to Increase Uptime and Throughput

About the presentation
Control loop performance monitoring (CLPM) solutions proactively identify and isolate underperforming control loops. Whereas most CLPM solutions generate analytics based on a single, generic state of operation, a new breed of CLPM solutions detail the performance associated with each of a process’s many and unique states. Using state-based analytics and an innovative measure of PID availability, CLPM solution users can improve process uptime and production throughput. This presentation distinguishes state-based control loop analytics from traditional monitoring capabilities. It also introduces the concept of overall controller effectiveness (OCE) as a proxy for process availability. Industry case-studies are included.
