Process inefficiencies and production unreliability are the largest sources of lost revenue for the majority of plant operations.
More than 75% of physical assets are under process control; however, 60-70% of all control loops under-perform and contribute to preventable losses. Many control loops demonstrate excessive process variability and some studies have shown that 40-50% of control loops are in manual control. The main reasons for this include poor loop health, tuning, and control strategy design.
