AlphaMax — Multi-Unit Optimizer
Tells every APC where to run, says what to do next and guides the operator — across the whole plant, not one unit at a time.
AlphaMax is the multi-unit optimizer of the Alpha suite. It runs on the plant model in AlphaPilot, weighs prices, limits and the interactions between units, and turns the plant-wide optimum into clear targets for each APC and clear next steps for the operator. ChatAPC explains every recommendation in plain language.
Plant-wide, not unit by unit
Optimizes across units — feed, intermediate streams, utilities — so each APC works toward the same plant-wide economic goal instead of its own local one.
Targets for every APC
Sets consistent targets for the controllers you already run, whatever the vendor, and keeps them updated as prices, feeds and limits change.
Guides the operator
Says what to do next, in order, with the reason and the value of each step — and flags which limits are binding right now.
Explained by ChatAPC
Ask why a target moved or what relaxing a limit is worth, and get the answer traced back to the plant model.
Advisory by design
AlphaMax recommends; your people decide. Nothing moves the plant unless you choose to close the loop.
