New Research: Relating Control Performance to Business Value
A good day or bad day can be predicted by the control performance metrics more than nine times out of 10.
As plant-wide control performance monitoring technology consistently
identifies poorly-performing loops, the number of loops requiring
maintenance attention quickly climbs into the hundreds at large
processing facilities
Given the high cost of restoring all controllers to 'as-new' condition,
facilities must carefully prioritize their maintenance effort.
Sirish L. Shah, Samidh Pareek and Christopher McNabb discuss a promising
new technique under development by Matrikon and the University of Alberta
that links fundamental process performance metrics to control performance.

automating process control and instrumentation maintenance effort.
