Cruise Control
for Industry

Confidence Control is the peace-of-mind benefit of the Maxx Suite. Once tuned, your energy systems run smoothly on autopilot - allowing operators to focus on higher-value work instead of constantly firefighting. When your facility runs on Cruise Control, your operators can finally relax.

No. The Maxx Suite works as a high-performance external layer on top of your current Distributed Control System (DCS) - no rip-and-replace required. We specialize in brownfield optimization, which means you get world-class results without the capital cost or operational disruption of replacing your existing infrastructure.

Pulp & paper mills, power generation & utilities, petrochemical and refining facilities, and other heavy industries with complex boiler and steam systems see the greatest returns. Any facility where energy costs are significant and process variables are numerous is a strong candidate - and we have documented results across all of these sectors.

Many clients see measurable improvements within weeks of deployment. Full payback on the investment is often achieved in less than one year - and in some cases within the first operating season. Our Level 0 Assessment will give you a facility-specific estimate before you commit a dollar.

A Level 0 Assessment is a free, no-obligation preliminary evaluation conducted by DES engineers. We assess your facility's specific energy profile and opportunity - producing an estimate detailed enough to fund a business case and accurate enough for us to be held accountable to it. Most clients are surprised by how large the number is.

Standard DCS control reacts to process conditions. DESMaxx predicts them - using advanced model-predictive control to continuously coordinate multiple fuels, multiple boilers, and hundreds of constraints simultaneously. It acts as the "ideal operator": tireless, perfectly consistent, and economically optimal every second of every shift. No human operator, however skilled, can match that performance sustainably.
