Connoisseur Advanced Process Control

Connoisseur™ model-based predictive control is comprehensive, advanced process control (APC) software that improves process profitability and control by enhancing quality, increasing throughput, and reducing energy usage. Applications of Connoisseur include mining, power, chemicals and refining, among others.

Predictive control helps manufacturing businesses realize their full potential by providing insight into process control strategies, resulting in improved quality and increased profits. Connoisseur is compatible with all major computer suppliers and leading vendors of control systems equipment. A unique feature even permits the application of predictive multivariable control to batch processes with multiple process models. RBF neural nets, a key feature of this solution can be mixed with step test derived models.

Connoisseur optimizes manufacturing operations with performance improvements in typically only 3-12 months! Maintenance departments are always challenged with using limited resources for the most effective return - optimizing manufacturing operations and making performance improvements can immediately impact the bottom line.  

Key Benefits

  • Increase throughput between 1-5%
  • Improve process yields by 2-10%
  • Reduce specific energy consumption by 3-10%
  • Enable quicker, more effective start-ups-10%

Key Capabilities

  • Process Modeling - Quantifies cause and effect relationships by accurately representing process behavior to provide better understanding of problems and assist in controlling them
  • Controller Generation - Allows the system to automatically generate a robust and accurate multi-variable controller
  • Real Time Adaptive Control - Enables the control system to be adapted to prevailing process conditions on-line
  • Constrained Optimization - Permits operation within the physical constraints of the process, allowing Connoisseur to maximize process potential
