INTUNE+ Process Navigator
Power Generation Management’s New Tool for Continuous Improvement

As every power plant manager and engineer knows, power station performance and efficiency are directly related to control system performance. For example, the control of superheat steam temperature is one of many opportunities for optimization that can help maximize the mega-wattage on each unit of a plant.

Why not use a professional maintenance team to monitor your control loops 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without tying up any of your valuable staff? ControlSoft's INTUNE+ Process Navigator provides a foundation for process control monitoring and predictive maintenance programs.

With a host of evaluation indices and diagnostics, INTUNE allows power industry managers and their teams to continuously evaluate control loop performance and pinpoint degradation the moment it occurs—not later when degradation affects other parts of the process or trips a line!

By keeping superheat steam temperature loops in check through a customized process control monitoring scheme, power stations can reap the benefits of a more efficient process:

• Minimize Fuel-Wasting Oscillations
• Reduce Or Eliminate Overshoot
• Increase Automation Uptime
• Minimize Pipe Corrosion And Fouling

Process Navigator is a customized service for improving a plant’s control system performance and establishing a methodology for maintaining the optimal performance for the long term.

Beginning with the implementation of INTUNE+ software to monitor and report on the performance of the target control loops, the Process Navigator package includes evaluation of web-based reports on the performance of loop controllers and custom KPI’s.

Among its most valuable functions is the diagnosis of process faults and performance degradation using ControlSoft expertise in providing cause-and-effect analysis for process faults.

Process Navigator recommends prioritized actions, documents the effectiveness of tuning and improvements, and identifies early indicators of eventual equipment failure.

Process Navigator gives you actionable recommendations and advises you on instrumentation changes and additions. It analyzes the expected return on investment for new improvement projects.

These and the many other functions of Process Navigator enable plant managers to focus their efforts where they will have the greatest payback.

Process Navigator can help you
