New release of aspenONE® APC software delivers groundbreaking new functionality

Aspen Technology, Inc, a leading provider of software and services to the process industries, announced a new release of aspenONE Advanced Process Control that delivers groundbreaking new functionality. It enables process manufacturers to operate units close to peak performance while simultaneously generating closed loop data suitable for calibrating APC models.

This breakthrough in the field of control technology is the latest innovation in aspenONE APC, the world's leading advanced process control solution. The new functionality eliminates aggressive step testing while preserving the economic benefits of Aspen DMCplus® applications.

New Configuration Wizards make it easy to configure Aspen DMCplus controllers to calibrate APC models.  This is an example of incorporating expert knowledge in the software to enable best practices by first-time users.

The new release also upgrades the performance of Aspen Adaptive Modeling by automatically slicing out bad data resulting from problematic PID loop conditions -- including valve saturation, PID mode changes, process upsets and bad measurements.  This greatly improves control model fidelity.

These improvements enhance the value proposition of Aspen DMCplus software by improving the synergy between multivariable predictive control, intelligent data selection and closed loop model identification.  This makes it easier to maintain highly accurate models as plants change over time.

The new release of aspenONE APC is available immediately.
