  • Smarter, Faster, Better: Using SHM to Prioritize What Matters Most in Optimizing Plant Performance

    Interactive Online Learning

    Yes—improving your plant’s process performance is essential. But with competing priorities and limited time, knowing where to focus can be a challenge. This webinar shows how System Health Monitoring (SHM) turns your existing process data into actionable insights, benchmarks your plant against peers, and delivers a prioritized list of issues and corrective actions—making performance improvement faster and easier than ever.

    Designed for both corporate and plant-level engineers, this session will show you:

    1) How SHM benchmarks plant performance across units, facilities, and the broader fleet.
    2) How SHM automatically prioritizes improvement opportunities based on impact and urgency.
    3) How SHM’s unified scoring system simplifies root-cause analysis from the loop level to the enterprise level.

    Join us to see how leading manufacturers use SHM to cut through information overload and focus on what matters most. Register today and start driving measurable operational excellence.

  • Feed-Forward Fundamentals: Knowing When and How to Apply Feed-Forward Control

    Interactive Online Learning

    Within advanced regulatory control, only a handful of strategies consistently boost process performance. Feed-Forward may not be “advanced” in the formal sense—it's technically a basic extension of feedback control—but it remains one of the most powerful and underutilized techniques in a process engineer’s PID toolbox. Knowing when to apply Feed-Forward and how to configure it correctly can make a meaningful difference in stabilizing processes and reducing disturbances.

    Designed for controls engineers, this session will equip participants to:
    1) Understand the fundamentals and purpose of Feed-Forward control and why it matters.
    2) Identify the right applications where Feed-Forward delivers measurable performance gains.
    3) Design and implement Feed-Forward strategies effectively for reliable, disturbance-resistant operation.

    Join us to explore the practical role of Feed-Forward control and learn how to apply it to improve your facility’s controller performance. Register today to strengthen your process control toolkit.

  • When Operators Become the Controller: What Frequent Interventions Reveal About PID Loop Health

    Interactive Online Learning

    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.
