  • System for real time optimization
    Patent number: 5486995
    Abstract: An adaptive process control system which is responsive to both process measurement input signals and economic environment inputs is provided. The process control system features an interactive optimization modeling system for periodically determining one or more manipulated process variables (also known as setpoints). These manipulated process variables are used to position directly controllable process parameters and attributes of a manufacturing system, such as a valve controlling the temperature of a coolant or a valve controlling the flow rate in a steam line.
