Cooperative Process Optimization Using Plant Big Data

摘要

Customers wish to improve control efficiency to increase the operating efficiency of their plants. However, such efforts typically do not extend beyond optimizing individual processes. This paper introduces our approach to improving the control efficiency of a plant composed of multiple processes by optimizing the entire process, and outlines our technologies for analyzing huge amounts of data and computing optimal control parameters, which cannot be obtained from the expertise of field operators. The paper also introduces some examples of applying the approach to paper mills and chemical plants.
