Pick an industry to see its process, the automation on every level, and exactly where an Industrial Data Platform and an APC Platform belong. Every picture is drawn from one living, sourced model.
Collects, contextualises, governs and serves plant data — from the edge to the enterprise.
Pushes the process to its most profitable constraints, on top of any DCS, without ever replacing it.
A refinery separates crude oil into boiling-range fractions, converts heavy fractions into lighter, more valuable ones, removes sulfur, and blends the results into LPG, gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and fuel oil.
An olefins complex cracks ethane, LPG or naphtha with steam at high temperature, separates the cracked gas into pure ethylene and propylene, and polymerises them into polyethylene and polypropylene pellets.
The iron and steel chain turns iron ore and scrap into rolled steel through a series of separate plants — concentrator, pellet plant, direct-reduction plant, melt shop, caster and rolling mill — each with its own automation.
Copper production grinds and floats ore that holds well under 1% copper into a concentrate of about 30%, then smelts, converts and electrolytically refines it into 99.99% cathode; oxide ores take a leach–solvent extraction–electrowinning route instead.
Follow APC from the whole-plant picture down to a real unit and into our product, and see why the plant stays safe without it.
7 steps2A temperature reading's journeyFollow one reactor temperature from the transmitter through the DCS and the historian, across the Data Platform's edge, site, DMZ and cloud tiers, to an AI model.
8 steps3Data Platform vs historianWhy a plant that already has a historian still needs a Data Platform: what the two share, and the layers only the platform has.
7 steps4Common core vs industry packsWhich parts of our two products are the same in every industry, which are not, and how industry packs add the difference for refining and for iron and steel.
