TuneWizard: PAS’ Loop Tuning Solution Improves Plant Performance
Reducing plant variability by optimizing the performance of control loops is an essential reason why BASF chose the PAS product.
PAS,http://www.pas.com, which bills itself as “The Human Reliability Company,” announced today that BASF has decided to establish PAS’ TuneWizard as a standard for control loop tuning software for internal use.
Human Reliability is the practice of optimizing human performance in complex systems and situations. Human Reliability develops practices and procedures to minimize error and maximize the resilience of systems through the use of user-centered and error-tolerant design and procedures.
TuneWizard is PAS’ Human Reliability software solution to optimize control loop performance. TuneWizard identifies the origins of poor control loop performance and facilitates their remediation in industrial operations.
“BASF is using PAS’ loop tuning solution because it provides an excellent combination of available features, ease of use, and rapid deployment,” said Dr. Florian Wolff, Senior Automation Engineer at the Ludwigshafen site in Germany.
According to Wolff, TuneWizard identifies control valve deficiencies, minimizes troubleshooting time, and utilizes an internal simulator to recommend appropriate tuning parameters for every control strategy.
“We are very pleased that BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, with excellent engineering expertise has selected PAS’ control loop tuning solution to improve plant performance,” said Marc de Guiran, Vice President of Sales, Europe, Russia, Africa.
