What to expect from Sucrosphere, from ROI to integration.
How much can we actually save?
Typical projects show lower steam per tonne and higher recovery within months. We share a site-specific estimate before deployment.
How long until we see results?
Monitoring and basic optimization deliver early gains in weeks. Advanced control usually lands by the end of the first season.
Do we need new sensors?
Often we reuse existing signals. Where gaps exist, we add DaaS sensors such as NIR or visual smart sensors.
Will this work with our PLC/DCS/MES?
Yes. We integrate with common systems and follow your IT and security policies.
How is Model Predictive Control used?
MPC forecasts process behavior and adjusts set points to keep operations stable and efficient.
