This paper discusses the conditions of APC application concerning process design, distributed control system （DCS） choice and regular control. It analyzes the problems and strategies in APC application. Some suggestions are proposed for the enterprise to benefit from APC application.展开更多

Control loop performance is also a key factor to improve iron and steel plant automation and operation result; Honeywell CPM offers vender-independent product which provides monitoring,tuning,modeling of control loop and sustainable loop performance analysis and maintenance solution towards operation stability and energy saving.展开更多
