Achieving full potential requires constant expert attention

In today’s operating environment, it has become increasingly difficult to maximize the potential of process units:

• Market volatility requires more flexible and agile operations
• Decision making relies on accurate and timely information, plus exact models of the facility
• Loss of expertise as an ageing workforce approaches retirement makes it harder to respond to pressing issues
• The challenge of recruiting a new generation with different aspirations means that turnover is increasing and experience is lacking

All of this contributes to increased difficulty in achieving plans and targets, as well as maintaining profitability and competitiveness.

The KBC Co-Pilot is here to help. KBC's experts come from the industry and have decades of practical experience. Our simulation technology is the best in the world for modeling complex process operations. Our Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions are proven over 20 years to securely bridge time and distance variations from your facility to our experts and technology.

Economic returns exceeding 10x the investment

The value created and the risk mitigated by Co-Pilot results in significant economic returns of at least ten times the investment. This is achieved through:

• Fewer facility slowdowns through closer performance monitoring
• Increasing the asset’s gross revenue by identifying opportunities to increase throughput
• Boosting margins by increasing the production of higher value products and / or minimizing the quality ‘giveaway’
• Knowledge transfer from KBC experts to the client engineers
• Minimizing operating expenses by energy saving and reduced maintenance costs
