Webinar: A Picture Worth a 1000 Control Loops
Process control performance is a cornerstone of operational excellence in the mining processing industry. Control performance assessment and monitoring applications have become mainstream within Mining and are changing the maintenance methodology surrounding control assets from predictive to condition based. The large number of mining assets on site compared to the number of maintenance and control personnel has made monitoring and diagnosing control problems challenging. Identifying specific control issues on a plant-wide basis and their root-causes is analogous to looking for a needle in a haystack.
