Control Station has announced a strategic technology partnership with Dimension Software, a leading provider of industrial operations management platforms. The collaboration connects Control Station’s PlantESP control loop performance monitoring (CLPM) platform with Dimension Software’s Asset Intellect operations intelligence environment, enabling manufacturers to operationalize control performance insights across their organizations.
Industry studies suggest that 30%–40% of industrial control loops operate below optimal performance, contributing to lost production throughput, increased energy consumption, and inconsistent product quality. While modern analytics tools can identify these issues, many organizations struggle to translate diagnostic insights into coordinated operational improvements. The partnership between Control Station and Dimension Software addresses this challenge by aligning complementary technologies that help engineering and operations teams move more quickly from issue identification to corrective action.
Control Station’s PlantESP platform leverages a production facility’s existing historical process data to proactively identify poorly performing control loops, oscillations, valve issues, and tuning deficiencies that undermine regulatory control. These issues frequently contribute to process instability and production inefficiencies across continuous and batch manufacturing environments. In complimentary fashion, Dimension Software’s Asset Intellect platform provides a unified, browser-based operations management environment that aggregates, integrates, contextualizes, and visualizes operational and business data in real time. It enables organizations to create a centralized “single source of truth” for operations by integrating data from enterprise systems such as AVEVA PI, SAP/Maximo, Power BI, and other operational technologies such as process alarms, IIoT, and geo-spatial systems. Through the collaboration, PlantESP diagnostics identifying poorly performing control loops can be surfaced within Asset Intellect dashboards alongside production, maintenance, and operational data. Engineering and operations teams can then evaluate control performance issues within their broader operational context and initiate corrective workflows directly from the Asset Intellect environment.
“By partnering with Dimension Software, we are expanding our ecosystem of world-class technology partners while making it easier for manufacturers to translate control performance insights into operational improvements,” stated Damien Munroe, Vice President of Partner Development at Control Station. “The collaboration aligns with our ongoing mission of making process optimization simpler and more accessible for industrial organizations.”
