Model Predictive Control & Optimization

Rockwell Software's solution to biofuels operational challenges is non-disruptive, highly-tested and delivers value every day. With the model-predictive control solutions currently installed in over forty ethanol facilities worldwide directly changing control system targets, plants are consistently and systematically managed and are actively driven to the best performance of target goals. Since very little, if any, additional equipment is installed and all the controllers act supervisory to an existing control system, no plant outages are required and production and performance is not impacted during installation.
