Embedded world-class knowledge

Using the knowledge of industry veterans,

Metso ExperTune PlantTriage software has

been developed over 25 years as an expert

system. You can use this embedded

knowledge to identify underperforming

controls and the root cause of upsets, and

then automatically tune the control loops.

Award-winning software

Having won Control Magazine’s readers’

choice award for over 15 consecutive years,

as well as countless other awards, Metso

ExperTune PlantTriage is acknowledged in

the market to be the leading tool for

improving control loop performance.

The only complete solution for

control performance

Only Metso ExperTune PlantTriage provides

a full set of diagnostic tools covering

monitoring and prioritization tasks, root
