PID tuning and process control services
Your reliability partner
In a typical plant, many controls and processes are not operating optimally, which can result in less stable production, higher raw material usage, increased energy consumption and lower yield. Neles™ PID tuning and process control services are designed to identify controls impacting performance and help you return to optimal production.
Benefits
Measure and report on performance and profitability
Monitor performance over time, and identify the controls that have a negative impact on process performance. Deliver targeted, actionable information to the right people every day.
Get to the root cause of every problem
Quickly identify the root cause of poor control. Recommend corrective actions to repair, upgrade, tune, adjust setpoints, or change strategy.
Prioritize corrective actions
Prioritize corrective actions to the areas that have the most significant impact on production efficiency, where economic value is greatest, and where you will get the fastest economic payback.
Sustain performance
Continuously monitor the plant and immediately recommend corrective actions to sustain plant performance. Track and monitor business KPIs and technical index for optimal operation.
Hidden PID tuning and performance issues are costing you money
A typical process plant is losing millions annually from poorly-performing control systems. Generally, about 20-30% of controls are in manual mode, and up to 85% of control loops have sub-optimal settings.
Furthermore, 20-40% of controllers are oscillating, adding to plant variability, and hurting reliability. With so many issues, it can be hard to monitor, prioritize, and resolve process problems.
Neles control performance experts can provide solutions to these problems.
Our PID tuning and process control services identify incorrectly configured control loops, root causes of issues, and prepare corrective actions that optimize your control performance. To get started you can read the PID Tuning tutorial.
Expertune PlantTriage

Webinar: IIoT, Digitalization and Process Control
Process Control Systems are uniquely positioned as one of the first industrial systems that can leverage the IIoT. This presentation addresses the routine monitoring of industrial control systems themselves. This includes monitoring of the performance of not only basic equipment, such as instrumentation and valves, but also monitoring of control loops, control strategies, and process results.

9 steps to achieve energy savings in process plants
The industrial sector alone consumes more than 50% of all the energy used in the world in manufacturing and production. Saving energy is more important than ever, as costs to the environment and to the bottom line are getting more attention. Especially in process manufacturing, energy accounts for a significant share of the operating costs.

6 steps to better pulp & paper performance through consistency control
Consistency control has an immediate and direct effect on almost all aspects of the pulp and paper process. Problems with consistency control inevitably lead to quality problems, reliability problems, sheet breaks, lost production, and increased energy costs. These six steps can greatly improve the operation of consistency loops, bringing stability to quality to pulp and paper operations.
