Real time multivariate analysis benefits and best practices
In any production process, raw materials are mixed and processed to create an end product with defined quality requirements. If the process is running to completion and the quality of the product is not meeting the requirements, the product must be scrapped or re-worked. This could be mitigated by monitoring the raw material throughout the process to assure the desired quality. Starting with aligning multiple data sources to fully take advantage of your data, and ultimately realizing the benefits to reduce down-time and waste, and furthermore reduce time-to-market and gain competitive advantage.
This webinar will address the cycle of continuous improvement in a product process and the potential to improve output, starting with data and the multivariate analysis that can bring together multiple variables and data types into one powerful tool, and transfer models that will do real-time monitoring and produce alerts and valuable information throughout the process. We will also show how the right tools can make advanced analysis and modeling more accessible for non-scientists to manage and take action on.
Dr Tobias Merz, from Lonza, has extensive experience in the field and will share his experience on the challenges and opportunities with scoping a project of this sort, and give hands-on advice on where to start, and what pitfalls to avoid.
