AlphaModel — Automated Loop Tuning
Keeps every control loop tuned to your plant's actual dynamics, in the background — not to generic defaults set years ago.
AlphaModel is Alpha's automated loop-tuning engine — standalone, it keeps every PID loop on your existing DCS tuned to reality. It's also ground truth the rest of the family leans on: every prediction AlphaNRM makes and every move AlphaMax takes only holds up if the loops underneath are actually tuned to how your plant behaves today.
Identifies real dynamics, not textbook approximations
Safe, bounded step tests on your running plant reveal how each loop actually responds — not how a commissioning-era model assumed it would.
Flags loops before they cost you
Tracks how far a controller has drifted from its last tuning, so retuning happens on a schedule — not after an upset already ate the margin.
Model-based tuning, not trial and error
New tuning parameters come from the identified process model itself, instead of manual trial-and-error on a live unit.
Works with the DCS you already have
Tunes PID loops running on your existing control system, whichever it is — no controller replacement.
The plant model AlphaPilot keeps
The process dynamics AlphaModel identifies go straight into the plant model in AlphaPilot — so AlphaMax, ChatAPC and every other app stay accurate as your plant changes.
