SUMMARY:When Loops Collide: Overcoming the Challenges of Interacting PID Controllers
DESCRIPTION:Tuning a single PID controller is challenging enough—but when multiple loops interact\, achieving stable\, predictable performance becomes exponentially more difficult. A loop you just tuned may suddenly destabilize because another loop is influencing it. Understanding and managing these interactions is essential for maintaining reliable process control in complex industrial systems. \nThis webinar explores the dynamics of loop interaction and presents proven strategies for diagnosing issues and tuning controllers for consistent\, optimized performance. \nDesigned for process and controls engineers\, this session will help you: \n\nUnderstand the root causes and behaviors of interacting PID loops\, including cross-coupling and system-level effects.\nApply diagnostic techniques to identify and isolate interaction-driven problems within your control architecture.\nUse practical tuning and configuration methods to compensate for loop interaction and restore stable control.\n\nTake control of multi-loop systems and avoid performance degradation caused by interaction. Register now to learn how to minimize its impact and improve overall PID loop performance.

SUMMARY:From Blind Spots to Insights: The Case for Data-Driven Analysis and Plant-Wide Controller Performance Audits
DESCRIPTION:“What you don’t know can’t hurt you” is a dangerous mindset—especially when it comes to your facility’s PID controller performance. Overlooking controller issues can lead to instability\, increased variability\, equipment stress\, and unexpected production losses. \nThis webinar introduces a proven methodology for conducting comprehensive PID performance audits and shows how data-driven analysis can uncover tuning deficiencies\, oscillatory loops\, and interaction problems that quietly undermine plant performance. \nDesigned for corporate and plant managers\, this session will equip you to: \n\nPerform a structured\, data-driven PID performance audit using data that you probably already capture.\nIdentify tuning weaknesses\, oscillations\, and interaction issues the effects of which are routinely overlooked or minimized.\nTranslate audit findings into targeted corrective actions that improve reliability\, stability\, and overall process performance\n\nLearn how plant-wide controller assessments can prevent costly disruptions and boost operational efficiency. Register now to gain the skills needed to evaluate and elevate your facility’s control performance.

SUMMARY:Smarter PID Tuning Starts Here: Overcoming the Limitations of Manual Controller Tuning
DESCRIPTION:Manual PID tuning remains common—and Control Station even teaches a repeatable\, calculator-based approach for estimating models and tuning coefficients. But relying on trend estimates and slope calculations can be imprecise\, time-consuming\, and disruptive. Without visibility into the controller’s predicted response\, tuning often requires multiple iterations that slow down operations and impact production. \nInnovations in process modeling effectively eliminate these challenges by generating accurate models from real operating data\, even when noisy or oscillatory\, and by validating PID performance before parameters are put into service. \nIntended for individuals responsible for PID loop tuning\, this session will equip you to: \n\nUnderstand why manual tuning frequently leads to inaccurate results\, repeated adjustments\, and prolonged performance disruptions.\nLearn how an innovative modeling approach develops reliable models and optimal tuning parameters—even from imperfect data.\nSee how modeling eliminates issues by simulating the PID response prior to implementation\, ensuring first-time-right optimization.\n\nDiscover the hidden costs of manual tuning and how NSS accelerates plant-wide control improvement. Register now to streamline your tuning workflow and improve process performance.

SUMMARY:Measuring What Matters: A Faster Way of Isolating PID Control Loops that Undermine Production and Profit
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, discrete manufacturers have relied on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to identify underperforming machines. As a normalized metric\, OEE can be applied consistently across individual assets\, production lines\, or entire cells. When a line’s OEE drops\, the math makes it easy to isolate the specific machine or asset dragging performance down. \nProcess manufacturers can apply this same powerful concept to PID controller performance—enabling objective benchmarking\, rapid root cause analysis\, and smarter optimization decisions. \nIntended for corporate and plant managers\, this session will equip participants to: \n\nUnderstand how the OEE framework can be applied to assessing controller performance at the loop\, unit\, and plant levels.\nUse this method pinpoints underperforming controllers and identifies root causes\, including tuning issues\, equipment problems\, or process changes.\nLeverage new KPI insights to prioritize improvements and drive plant-wide performance gains using a data-driven\, OEE-style approach.\n\nSee how applying proven OEE concepts to process control can simplify optimization and improve operational effectiveness. Register now to learn why leading manufacturers are embracing a new method.
