Optimize APC suite: A comprehensive solution package for advanced process control and optimization

摘要

Mathematical models are increasingly seen as an important, if not the only, means by which required performance and quality objectives can be met in an optimum way [1, 2], The continuous advances in instrumentation and the decreasing cost of ever-more-powerful computational tools have made model-based solutions, such as predictive control, real-time optimization, online estimation, and process monitoring, not only technically feasible but also economically viable.
