Surge: Involves detailed unit evaluation, diagnosis, corrective actions, and value documentation.
Sustain: Focuses on continuous improvement, diagnosing new issues, identifying additional surges, and implementing workflows and best practices.

Performance Goals and KPIs
The services establish performance goals and KPIs, measure and report on performance and profitability, and prioritize corrective actions. Corrective actions can be executed by the Neles service team on-site.

Benefits of Optimized Control Systems

Improved manufacturing efficiency
Increased production output
Enhanced end-product quality
Better waste management
Reduced energy and raw material costs

Challenges include managing excessive process data, limited staffing and skills, and handling numerous daily tasks.

Optimization Package

Access to world-class expertise and award-winning digital tools like Expertune PlantTriage
Focus on controls providing the greatest return
Root cause identification and prioritization of corrective actions
Regular reports and automatic notifications
Clear workflows and practices to sustain results

Case Study: Klabin Ortiguera Pulp Mill, Brazil
The challenge was to reduce the average absolute error in a mill with 2,000 automatic valves, stabilize the process, and reduce variability and control errors. The partnership provided technical expertise and a roadmap for improved stability, maintaining high quality standards, controlling variable costs, saving chemical costs, reducing valve wear, and refocusing on process optimization.

Typical Control Performance Issues

10%-35% of control loops are in manual mode
30% of control valves have problems
Significant underutilization of assets due to manual operation
Incorrect tuning of 30% of control loops increases process variability
Control loop interactions can lead to efficiency loss

Corrective actions can deliver significant savings.
