Advanced Process Control

Simplify your machine-tool correction
with Advanced Process Control (APC)

Sylcom Expert’s APC module turns production data into smart recommendations for precise machine-tool adjustments.

Speeding setups, cutting scrap, boosting quality, and reducing human error.

What is Advanced Process Control?

Advanced Process Control (APC) is a suite of intelligent algorithms designed to continuously monitor, predict, and optimize your machine-tool settings.

Unlike traditional control systems, APC dynamically adjusts corrections – reducing variability, and maximizing output quality.

APC eliminates the risk of human error in calculations and ensures consistent production alignment.

Why choose our APC solution?

Up to 8× faster than traditional manual setup methods

Reduces setup time

With APC, machines reach target conditions faster - minimizing setup time. A single process matrix is created once, and only one part is required for the setup. As a result, machine adjustments can be completed with a single piece from produced, even for the most complex components.

+ 10% yield

Improve Product Quality and Yield​

APC maintains consistent process conditions, reducing variation and off-spec products to deliver higher yields, and improved long-term capability.

Up to 5x less scrap

Lower waste

APC reduces raw material losses, leading to lower operating costs and a smaller environmental footprint.

30% less machine shutdown

Reduce downtime and equipment wear​

By predicting process variations and stabilizing operations, APC minimizes unplanned shutdowns and keeps machines running longer by preventing the sudden shocks that drive equipment wear.

No advanced statistical training required

No advanced statistical training required

APC makes machine correction accessible to any operator, with clear on-screen guidance that enables quick, confident adjustments.
