Enhanced Process Control with PID Loop Monitoring
Interstates partnered with a consumer packaged goods client to address significant issues in their packaging line, particularly the inconsistent dispensing of products into bottles. Our solution involved providing a virtual machine running PID Loop Monitoring software, which collects real-time process data from a programmable logic controller (PLC). This data is monitored, and alerts are generated based on predefined analytical baselines.
The PID Loop Monitoring system was implemented in one area of the client’s plant, covering seven packing lines. This solution collects data such as pump speed, frequency, and setpoints, providing insights into how the PID Loop is performing. Process engineers and maintenance technicians receive alerts, enabling them to make informed adjustments without being physically present on the line.
