This workshop provides a thorough understanding of process dynamics and showcases both concepts and techniques associated with maintaining a production facility’s PID control systems. It engages participants with hands-on application of a systematic approach for diagnosing and optimizing under-performing control loops. The workshop is designed for Technicians and Process Engineers.
There are countless KPIs for identifying underperforming PID loops—but one of the most revealing is often overlooked: the amount of time operators spend “babysitting” a controller. Loops that are unstable, noisy, or unpredictable tend to draw repeated operator intervention, effectively overriding automation in an effort to manage volatility and reduce perceived risk. These patterns offer powerful clues about hidden control issues that traditional KPIs miss. Wouldn’t it be valuable to know which controllers demand the most operator attention—and why?
Designed for both corporate and plant engineers, this session will reveal:
1) Why operator interventions are a powerful indicator of underlying control problems that may not appear in conventional KPIs.
2) How to quantify operator interaction and trace it back to root cause, including tuning issues, equipment malfunctions, and process disturbances.
3) How to use these insights to prioritize corrective actions, enhance controller reliability, and improve overall plant safety and performance.
Join us to learn how everyday operator behavior provides a window into your plant’s true control health. Register today to turn manual interventions into actionable improvement opportunities.

If your facility was ranked as having the worst controller performance in the fleet, you’d likely make optimization a top priority. But what if it was a middle performer? Or even best-in-class? In every case, the first step is understanding how your plant is truly performing—and now there’s finally a reliable way to quantify it.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a widely accepted framework for assessing the performance of production assets. That same framework is being applied to measuring PID performance at the loop, unit, and plant levels. Through benchmarking, manufacturers can now see exactly where their performance stands—whether underperforming, average, or world-class—and pursue optimization initiatives based on a clearer understanding of the associated opportunities and costs.
Intended for corporate managers, plant managers, and process engineers, this session will show:
1) How accepted statistical analysis methods apply to quantifying controller performance across loops, units, and entire facilities.
2) How comparative statistics reveal performance rank, enabling clear benchmarking against peers and the broader fleet.
3) How benchmarking informs better operational decisions and help target the most valuable performance-improvement opportunities.
Join us to learn why leading process manufacturers are adopting OCE to improve fleet-wide performance and gain a competitive edge. Register today to see how data-driven benchmarking can transform your operational strategy.

Whether the goal is Set Point Tracking, Disturbance Rejection, or something more specialized, PID tuning must always align with a specific control objective. Without the right tools, tuning can quickly devolve into excessive trial-and-error—wasting time, disrupting operations, and producing inconsistent results. This webinar examines IMC relative to other popular tuning methods like Ziegler-Nichols and assesses them in terms of intuitiveness, speed, and consistency of results across a wide range of processes.
Intended for controls engineers, this session will reveal:
1) What differentiates IMC Tuning from Ziegler–Nichols and other common methods, and why those differences matter.
2) How IMC dramatically reduces trial-and-error, accelerating tuning and minimizing production impact.
3) How IMC makes it easy to generate tuning parameters that align with each loop’s unique control objective, from tracking to disturbance rejection.
Join us to discover why IMC Tuning is one of the most effective and reliable approaches for modern PID optimization. Register now to elevate your facility’s tuning strategy and improve process performance.

Newcomers to process manufacturing often assume that the main goal of PID control is tight Set Point tracking. In reality, many industrial processes require something quite different—tuning the PID for strong disturbance rejection. Understanding this distinction is essential for achieving stable, reliable, and predictable control. This session introduces attendees to this alternative tuning strategy and demonstrates how to systematically configure PID loops to minimize the impact of real-world disturbances.
Designed for individuals new to industrial process control or those seeking a practical refresher, this webinar will help participants:
1) Recognize when disturbance rejection—not Set Point tracking—is the dominant control objective.
2) Apply tuning techniques tailored specifically for disturbance-focused performance.
3) Configure control loops in a structured, repeatable way to ensure stability and robust operation.

If your facility has only a few dozen PID loops, monitoring and optimizing them is manageable. But when the loop count climbs into the hundreds—or even thousands—most engineers shift from optimization to simply “keeping things running.” The result? Countless opportunities for performance improvement remain hidden in plain sight.
The good news: your historian already contains the data you need… if you know where to find it and how to interpret it. This webinar reveals how everyday operating data—often overlooked—can be transformed into powerful insights for plantwide optimization.
Designed for plant managers and process engineers, this session will show you:
1) How routine output changes and Set Point adjustments contain valuable, untapped optimization opportunities.
2) How to generate large numbers of process models and tune loops—without performing a single bump test.
3) How aggregated model statistics reveal deeper insights into process behavior and control effectiveness across your plant.
Unlock the hidden value in your historian and learn how to scale optimization across hundreds of loops. Register now to drive measurable improvements in process performance and profitability.
