BrainWave Advanced Process Control

ANDRITZ offers a suite of advanced control solutions – BrainWave – that are revolutionizing control at industrial operations around the world. BrainWave helps a plant to remove bottlenecks, reduce energy consumption, produce higher quality metal products more consistently, and to lower production costs.

Historically, advanced process control technologies have been deployed only at large scale petrochemical plants where the high cost of implementation and maintenance could be supported.

BrainWave will change advanced process control. This patented controller can be implemented quickly. It is robust and stable and is used by operators continuously. With BrainWave, advanced process control can now be applied in an effective and economical manner in a wide variety of industries.

Control stabilization

BrainWave is a patented advanced controller that outperforms traditional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control. BrainWave outperforms PID systems because of its two main components: an adaptive model and a predictive controller.
