Stami Digital Process Monitor
The STAMI DIGITAL Process Monitor provides real-time and continuous insights in equipment and instrument performance and produces soft-sensor information using real-time DCS data and a first principles-based process model that is fitted to your historical plant operation. In this way, our process design know-how is available for your day-to-day process optimization.
The first step in installing the STAMI DIGITAL Process Monitor solution is performing an advanced assessment of your plant condition, process control and process dynamics. During the assessment a process plant model is built and tuned specifically to your urea plant.
