Pavilion Technologies has released Version 7 of its APC software suite.
In just four months, Pavilion's solution has successfully delivered expected benefits on two cement mills at Titan America's facility in Roanoke, Virginia.
"Pavilion's ValueFirst programme underscores the company's dedication to the success of our business", said Titan America's Process Engineer, Brian Allder.
"We entered into this relationship confident that the technology would deliver results, and they have more than delivered on that guarantee".
"We reduced specific energy costs by 3.5kWh per short ton, increased production by 4.8 and 5.7% on the two mills, and enhanced overall product quality in four months".
Pavilion's state-of-the art cement solutions address the most pressing needs of cement manufacturers.
Pavilion's multivariable predictive control enabled Titan to achieve its primary goal of reducing energy use, while simultaneously improving product quality and increasing production.
In addition, operators were able to use the solution to start up the mills which reduced the operator time spent on startup.
Leveraging the process expertise of Pavilion's engineering resources, Pavilion's solutions deliver a faster return on investment and greater sustained value, with lower maintenance costs than incumbent technologies like expert system-based toolkits.
"We are committed to putting our customer's needs first", said Pavilion CEO Ralph Carter.
"By assessing the value first, we are able to identify the approach that will have the most impact on our customers' business".
"Our customers have an ROI they believe in and a partner willing to stand behind their promise".
