Main Points: DeltaV PredictPro has a powerful built-in optimizer which will push the process to the most profitable operation, within constraints. Often optimization can be as simple as maximizing one variable to the most limiting constraint. For example, huge benefits can be realized by maximizing throughput to an equipment constraint. Whereas the operator may only make moves occasionally, APC can make moves continuously, 24 hours a day. However, for complex processes, the optimization involves many variables and requires a more powerful tool, like DeltaV PredictPro.
