EXCELLENCE
AWARD
2024
Recognized · 2024

Process Control Excellence Award — Issued by the Industrial Automation Forum.

For two decades of measurable APC and MPC results across refining, petrochemicals, and power.

PITOPS gave us models we trusted in two days. The MPC stability we got after re-tuning was worth the engagement on day one.
Process Control Lead
Global refining major · Texas
We cut loop variability by more than half across the unit without a single plant step test. The closed-loop identification simply works.
APC Engineer
Petrochemical complex · Gulf Coast
SUPERTUNE keeps our compressor loops on target around the clock. We stopped chasing tuning drift after every grade change.
Lead Instrument Engineer
Polymer producer · Europe
The PID tuning training changed how our whole team thinks about control — practical, mathematical, and immediately usable on the floor.

Power generation · Southeast US
COLUMBO let us deploy full MPC on the existing Siemens controller — no new platform, no new license headache. Remarkable.

FAQ

Common questions about process control software.

The short version. For the deep dive, our guides go all the way down to the math.

Industrial automation software that optimizes PID controllers, advanced process control (APC) strategies, and control-loop monitoring — on top of your existing DCS, PLC or SCADA. PiControl works in the time domain using closed-loop data.
Extracts process models (transfer functions) from data collected while controllers stay in automatic. No disruptive step tests — PITOPS handles up to 50×50 multivariable matrices in the time domain. Read the full guide.
Yes — via OPC-DA and OPC-UA. Tested with Honeywell Experion, Emerson DeltaV, Yokogawa CENTUM VP, ABB Ability Symphony Plus, Siemens PCS 7, Rockwell PlantPAx, Schneider EcoStruxure. No proprietary hardware required.
Most rely on open-loop step tests that pull controllers out of auto — disrupting production and creating safety risk. Studies show 60–80% of industrial PID loops operate sub-optimally. Closed-loop identification skips the disruption entirely. See the PID tuning guide.
Request a free 30-minute software demo. Our engineers walk through the products relevant to your plant — typically PITOPS for PID tuning, SIMCET for simulation training, or APROMON for control-loop monitoring. We can use your own process data when you provide it.
