Platform for Advanced Control and Estimation (PACE): Shell's and Yokogawa's Next Generation Advanced Process Control Technology

Every ten years or so, Shell has looked to refresh its Advanced Process Control (APC) technology. The last major technology upgrade occurred in 2003 when Shell along, with our APC alliance partner, Yokogawa, released SMOCPro (MPC) and RQEPro (quality estimation). In 2011, Shell and Yokogawa agreed to initiate the development of our next-generation APC technology. Brought to the market in 2015, the Platform for Advanced Control and Estimation (PACE) was built from the ground up, leveraging our long combined experience in APC.
