Advanced Process Control (APC)
FLS APC is designed to answer the challenges and priorities of today’s mineral processing plants. It’s a customisable and comprehensive system that can be used across the flowsheet to:
- Increase performance
- Stabilise processes
- Manage and correct process disruptions
- Minimise wear
- Reduce operational and maintenance costs
- Optimise mill load
This advanced process control software can measure all the inputs, model all the outputs and adjust your process parameters accordingly, in a proactive way, thus stabilising the process flow, balancing the circuit load, and protecting equipment, all while ensuring your product quality is protected.
This also enables you to develop a uniform operation strategy that outlines the best way to run the plant. Once this strategy has been established, training new operators becomes much easier.
Tailored solutions for every task
FLS APC software includes a suite of technologies based on model predictive control (MPC) and fuzzy logic rules that allows you to tailor functions to meet your unique requirements. The system uses the best control technology for each task – e.g. an advanced Multi Input Multi-Output Model-based Predictive Controller (MPC) has proven to be successful to achieve the best possible grinding efficiency.
