Pharmaceutical Industry Home
The pharmaceutical industry demands the ultimate in
performance. You must meet exacting specifications in complex
batch processes, every time, and document the results.
Through engineering, design, commissioning, and qualification,
the documentation of control system performance is critical.
ExperTune Tools Can Help
Make use of the following resources to design, validate, and
maintain control system performance in your pharmaceutical
facility. See how we can help with:
Tools for Validation
ExperTune has the tools you need to quantify control system
operation and performance. This includes the ability to
measure and analyze all of the following:
- Speed and Accuracy of Controller Response
- Process non-Linearity (pH)
- Control Valve Performance
- Controller Tuning
- Instrument Noise and Filtering
- Dynamic Process Modelling
- Many, many more...
Tools for Validating Process Control
What do you measure to ensure the control system is
performing properly? How can you show that the control
system is capable of maintaining control of the process? How
can you demonstrate that the control valve truly functions
properly? Or that the controller can handle the inherent
non-linearity of a pH loop?
Automatic Documentation of Control Performance
ExperTune's tools help you to answer all of these questions.
With ExperTune's PID Loop
Optimizer and PlantTriage®, you
can:
- Measure control loop performance
- Use 6-sigma tools to understand process
capability
- Determine control valve performance
- Analyze & compensate for non-linearities
- Automatically document control performance
- Document performance on a
batch–by–batch basis.
Designed for Batch and Continuous Operations
The PlantTriage® Performance Supervision System monitors
the performance of your operation 24 hours a day. Where you
have batch operations, PlantTriage organizes all the
information by batch and product code. So you can quickly
understand any differences between batches, between products,
and over time.
Monitor On-Going Performance
Performance Supervision software looks after your hundreds of control
loops, 24 hours a day. Based on criteria that you have set, the PlantTriage Performance
Supervision System scans the entire process, finds the important
information, filters it based on your needs, and notifies you
directly.
Fully Integrated Modelling, Analysis, and Tuning
PlantTriage® gathers process modelling
data from normal operator activities, without any intervention
from you.
Your time is valuable. You shouldn't have to waste time piecing
together information from 5 different sources. PlantTriage®
automatically gathers data, identifies process models, completes
assessments, and notifies you of the results. It does all of this
during normal process operation, without any interventions or
process bumping required from you. The results can be delivered to
you as an e-mail, or displayed in your user-customized web browser
interface.
For detailed loop analysis, the data is automatically passed, in
context, to
ExperTune's PID Tuner/Analyzer.
Tools for Your Role
Tools to help you in your job:
Powerful, award-winning, state-of-the-art control loop analysis
tools are included with PlantTriage. Control Engineers have every
possible advantage to identify process models, tune control loops,
diagnose instrument and valve problems.
Advanced Controls
PlantTriage goes beyond single-loop analysis. We include toools
for analysis of Cascade, Ratio, and Feedforward controls. Even Model-predictive
Controllers can also be supervised within PlantTriage. At a glance,
you can see when and where MPC controllers are constrained, and even
receive notifications when the model and process are not tracking
closely.
Maintaining Security
With its secure web-browser access, PlantTriage® keeps end
users and their heavy data demands off of the control network. optional Shadow Server technology
can be applied for an even greater measure of security.
Gaining Alignment
No matter what your role, you don't run the plant by yourself. Many other people are
involved in making decisions that affect production, maintenance,
finances, and quality. PlantTriage and PID Tuner provide
out-of-the-box reporting tools that help you to make your case. You
can even e-mail these reports directly to you, export data to Excel
for further analysis or to include in a presentation. This helps
everyone to see the problem as you see it, and makes gaining alignment
faster than ever.
Control Loop Optimization
PlantTriage includes a copy of ExperTune PID Tuner/Analyzer,
repeatedly recognized by users as the #1 controller tuning software
package. This includes tools for PID Tuning, Linearization, and
Optimization.
