INCA-NL (INCA for Nonlinear Applications)

In the past many years IPCOS has invested considerable effort in the development of a model based predictive controller based on nonlinear process models. This has resulted in IPCOS’ novel INCA-NL platform, of which several applications are currently running on-line at different industrial sites.

IPCOS is now offering this innovative control platform to its customers, so that they can use it to deploy an MPC application based on their in-house developed process models.

The INCA NL platform has been industrially proven as it has been applied to several batch reactors and crystallizers recently. The benefits of exploiting the nonlinearity of the process have enabled our customers to control and optimize on-line what was technically not possible before, and has created great value for them.
