[Rebroadcast] [High Energy Consumption in Factories] How much can you save just by 'improving control'? Webinar Announcement

Changes in the Factory Environment In recent years, the environment surrounding factories has changed significantly. In addition to rising energy prices and the need to address carbon neutrality, the full-scale operation of the GX-ETS (Emissions Trading System) starting in 2026 requires companies to adopt 'management that controls emissions themselves' more than ever.

Under these circumstances, using energy efficiently without wasting it, while maintaining stable operations and productivity, has become a key theme in factory management.

Why do energy-saving measures often fail to yield expected results? Many factories are considering upgrading to high-efficiency equipment, reviewing operating conditions, and enhancing control as energy-saving initiatives. However, the widely used traditional PID control has a characteristic that makes it difficult to simultaneously optimize multiple objectives and constraints, such as quality, stable operation, and energy reduction in environments with large disturbances and load fluctuations.

As a result, even when control is improved with energy saving in mind, the waste caused by control often remains hidden, leading to insufficient reduction effects in many cases.

Eliminating Control Waste That PID Cannot Resolve In this seminar, using energy-intensive equipment such as factory air conditioning as a subject, we will explain concrete methods to reduce control inconsistencies that PID control could not suppress, and reduce energy consumption by utilizing the advanced control technology 'Smart MPC.'

'Smart MPC' is a next-generation predictive control technology that automatically guides optimal operations while predicting future behavior. By utilizing past operational data and combining machine learning with optimization techniques, it achieves high-precision control without relying on specialized tuning.

Furthermore, by using the embedded AI control controller 'E-Smart MPC (Embedded Smart MPC),' it can be mounted directly onto a control panel, allowing for smooth implementation of advanced control in the field through GUI operations and automatic adjustment functions. This makes it possible to suppress control waste throughout the factory while simultaneously satisfying multi-objective and multi-constraint requirements such as energy reduction, quality stability, and stable operation.
