SIMCA®-online can be used both for batch and continues processes. You get an easy-to-grasp visual overview of your whole process including the correlation patterns by comparing current production with a reference model created in SIMCA®. This leads to earlier detections of deviations from normal operation as well as increased process understanding and improved confidence in the process performance.
Instead of waiting for the laboratory to measure the result of the production, the system can instantly estimate these final quality attributes by including the raw material information as well as the production parameters when estimating the result.
To know how the process will evolve, when the process will be done, or what the quality of the process will be before the production is finalized, the Forecast system of the Control Advisor in SIMCA®-online is used. This system enables predictive monitoring that will give operators more time to take action in time.
The second part of the Control Advisor adds an optimizer to predefined controllable parameters to enable open or closed loop control those parameters.
With a clear view of critical parameters in your manufacturing processes and early warning of deviations, you can ensure that your complex manufacturing processes perform according to specifications, time after time. With this level of control, you can minimize the risk of batch discards, maximize resource efficiency, minimize operational costs, and save money.
