N-way methods for products quality control and process analysers applied to batch processes (NWAYQUAL)

Objective

Statistical process control enables to keep an industrial process under selected and controlled conditions. The traditional analyzers and statistical tools are useful generally in an univariate way. In a multivariate approach, as required for complex batch processes, they allow the monitoring but do not explain and correct eventual detected changes. The project will develop a very promising approach: on-line intelligent analyzers (spectrometers) providing good estimations of the products quality coupled with N-Way methods, allowing a decomposition of spectral data closer to the process and products knowledge. The final deliverable will consist of a methodology and software to be used at operator level to enable a product quality control and associated actions in case of detected changes.
