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. Valmet PID tuning and process control services formerly (Expertune) 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.
Our 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.
