Since the 90’s, manufacturers across industries have trusted Dpstar to deliver custom-engineered control systems that solve their unique production challenges. Dpstar specializes in designing high-quality systems that simplify operations and improve performance. We understand that you face difficult challenges in your industry to achieve your production goals, meet customer demands, and stay ahead of the competition. With more than 30 years of industrial automation experience, we offer a wide range of process solutions to meet your challenges. Our process expertise in batch, process optimization, and safety system solutions and services can help you to accomplish your goals.

Process control systems make sure industrial processes are carried out efficiently, consistently and with as little variation as possible. Systems measure, monitor and control manufacturing processes and activities. They identify and correct any abnormalities or variations from specified values, either manually or automatically. The aim is to make sure that production is consistent and that as little energy is wasted as possible.

Lower Manufacturing Costs

Detecting faults early means throughput, yield and quality are maintained.

Improved Environmental Performance

Systems can give you an early warning of a rise in emissions.

Consistent Product Quality

Variations in product quality are kept to a minimum and reduce your wastage.

Energy
Savings

Energy wastage is reduced when your plant and machinery are efficiently operated.

Improved
Safety

Control systems automatically warn you of any abnormalities which minimises the risk of accidents.

Industry Applications

Process control is typically used in any industry where continuous production occurs – where some kind of product or material is constantly being manufactured, with little-to-no downtime. Let’s take a quick look at a few of the key industries for process control systems and how they’re used.

Refining 

Refineries utilize a variety of operating units to process crude oil into refined products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuels, and feedstocks for petrochemicals. In order to maximize operating margins, refiners must push units to maximum throughout. To do this safely and effectively, they must have very good control of the process. To safely and efficiently control your process, operators must be able to reliably measure various parameters throughout the refinery.

OEM & Manufacturing

Manufacturing companies of all types can make use of process control. A company manufacturing structural steel, for example, will likely make use of process controls for tasks such as ensuring the proper temperature of blast furnaces, controlling the viscosity of molten metal, and for other such tasks that help ensure the right overall quality for the products.

Semiconductor 

Manufacturers of semiconductors (microchips), such as Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and others, make extensive use of process control. The environments in which microchips are created must be controlled to an incredibly precise degree – otherwise entire batches of semiconductors could be completely ruined, and rendered unusable.

Pharmaceuticals

Extreme precision is required when creating pharmaceutical medications. Even minor errors can render a batch of medication or other such products completely unusable – so pharmaceutical companies must minimize human intervention and error as much as they possibly can. This means that most pharmaceutical companies make use of advanced process control systems – allowing for granular control of the manufacturing process, minimizing product waste, and guaranteeing the safety of all medications manufactured at the plant.

Pulp & Paper

Process control is extremely important in the pulp and paper industry. This is partially because the raw material (wood) used for pulp and paper can vary in quality wildly, and regular, constant adjustments to manufacturing processes are required to take this into account – ensuring that a varied input (wood) always creates a consistent output (pulp and paper products).

Food & Dairy

Earlier, we gave an example of the use of process control in the pasteurization of milk. Using process control to automate the production of food and dairy products is a great way to ensure that the food is safe and is of consistent quality and to maximize total output from a food factory or food processing plant.

Water Treatment

Water treatment is an ideal application for process control, as the input (wastewater, seawater, etc.) never stops – and can vary quite a bit in composition. Process control systems that remotely manage the conversion of water from rivers and lakes into safe drinking water can address the need for standardized, centralized control while enabling changes to be made on the premises. These systems can manage multiple parameters and signal the need for adjustments.

Your Partner For All Your Process Control Needs

Process control systems need to operate reliably over the long term and they must be flexible enough to ensure that all your options for tomorrow’s production processes and requirements also remain open. Dpstar provides the solution that’s perfectly tailored to your industry and requirements for flexibility, reliability, highest efficiency, and investment protection throughout the plant’s lifecycle. Dpstar offers a wide range of process solutions that apply methods and technology to safeguard your operations and match your economic and performance requirements. These solutions are scalable, flexible, and easy to integrate. This helps your organization increase productivity, lower costs, reduce energy consumption, and improve safety. Our process experts can help you improve operational effectiveness and achieve high availability.
