Скачать или смотреть What Is Advanced Process Control (APC)? | Explained Simply with Real-World Examples

What is Advanced Process Control (APC) and why does it matter for industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and more? In this video, we break down APC in the simplest terms—without diving straight into heavy math.

You’ll learn:
✅ The difference between basic process control (PID loops) and advanced process control systems
✅ Real-world analogies (like autopilot in aviation and autonomous vehicles) to make APC easy to understand
✅ Key techniques: Model Predictive Control (MPC), multivariable control, optimization algorithms, and real-time data integration
✅ How APC applies across industries: midstream pipelines, refining, semiconductors, chemicals, power, renewables, and data centers
✅ The business benefits: efficiency, product quality, safety, cost reduction, and operational profitability
✅ Challenges with APC implementation and best practices for success

At CruxOCM, we build advanced process control software like pipeBOT™, designed specifically for midstream oil & gas pipelines. pipeBOT™ applies APC techniques to maximize throughput, improve reliability, and reduce operator workload in the control room.
