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.

Webinar: Loop tuning – What can you do remotely?
Often, PID tuning constants are developed quickly, by guessing, or with unreliable methods. The outcome is increased wear on valves, shortened valve life, poor control, and inconsistent results. In this webinar, we will show you how to tune remotely with Expertune PID Loop Optimizer which is a PID tuning software designed to eliminate the guesswork.
