SPRAY DRYING MEETS AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATION

What is Advanced Process Control (APC) and why does it matter?

 

In industrial manufacturing, small variations in environmental conditions can disrupt operations, causing inefficiencies, wasted energy, and inconsistent product quality. Traditionally, human operators manually adjust settings to compensate for these changes, but this approach is slow, reactive, and prone to human error.

Through this white paper, you will learn what Advanced Process Control (APC) is and why it plays a critical role in modern manufacturing, drawing inspiration from the intelligent automation in automotive innovations.

Advanced Process Control (APC) solves this problem by using intelligent automation to continuously adjust and optimize industrial processes in real time. Just like modern cars automatically regulate fuel injection for maximum efficiency, APC enables spray drying systems to self-optimize, ensuring stable production and energy savings without manual intervention. Since 2018, GEA has been offering its APC solution, GEA OptiPartner®.
