iXyber APC Runner
The execution environment of the algorithms in the Advanced Process Control (APC): multi-parameter controllers (MPC), virtual analyzers (VA).
Provides integration with the PCS and other information systems, as well as the implementation of the engineer's user interface for the ACSTP
For what 
As a process operator, I want an automated assistant for managing and optimizing the technological process
As a Production Director, I want to ensure maximum efficiency of technological and production processes and assets while considering constraints
iXyber APC Runner - provides reliable connectivity with data sources, implements APC algorithms, and features a user-friendly interface for engineers and operators to configure and manage the system.
Configuration and Management
The settings screen provides the ability to modify configuration and operational parameters of multi-parameter controllers (MPC) and virtual analyzers (VA), as well as to switch their operating modes
