Control Station and Dimensions Software are teaming up to help plant operators identify poorly performing control loops. 

According to Control Stations, industry studies suggest that 30-40% of industrial loops perform below optimal and lead to a loss of production, increased energy consumption and inconsistent product quality. 

The organisation claims that many companies struggle to translate diagnostic insights into coordinated operational improvements. The partnership between Control Station and Dimension Software aims to address this challenge by aligning complementary technologies that help engineering and operations teams move more quickly from issue identification to corrective action. 

Control Station is a software-based solutions company optimising plant-wide loop performance. The company’s leading CLPM solution PlantESP™ will integrate with Dimensions Software’s Asset Intellect™.  

Due to Dimensions’ capabilities in operational intelligence software, organisations can pair their enterprise systems, with operational technologies, such as process alarms, IIoT and geo-spatial systems. This collaboration allows PlantESP diagnostics to identify poorly performing control loops that can be displayed within Asset Intellect dashboards alongside production, maintenance, and operational data. Engineering and operations teams can then evaluate control performance issues within their broader operational context and initiate corrective workflows directly from the Asset Intellect environment. 

Yong The, Director of Business Development and Global Sales at Dimension Software, said: “Through our partnership with Control Station, we are able to offer customers a fully integrated and market-leading CLPM capability while continuing our mission of unlocking operational value from existing data and systems.”
