Aspen DMC3 Smart Tune technology empowers users to make APC controllers more agile and easy to setup by simplifying tuning and configuration. The intelligent solver in Smart Tune enables you to configure economic objectives directly instead of tuning cost factors. This approach combined with a web based view provides a much greater insight into controller strategy.

Compares the traditional method of tuning a controller to Smart Tune which allows users to directly specify operational objectives. Breaks down how the new algorithm works through animations and summarizes the benefits: reduce efforts and complexity, quickly adapt controller to changing economic conditions, process changes or model updates, easily simulate, troubleshoot and modify controller strategy online and increase operator acceptance and controller uptime.   

Column Analysis in Aspen Plus allows you to view the whole column, identify any hydraulic issues, understand the operating range, and communicate your findings. See the impact of modifications in packing and trays, and cost as you make changes.

See how refineries can keep their profit margins high by maintaining their planning models up to date, in the face of changing operating conditions, using built-in capabilities in Aspen HYSYS.
