Area of Science:

  • Process Engineering
  • Manufacturing Sciences
  • Data Visualization

Background:

  • Advanced process engineering and manufacturing sciences offer deeper process insights.
  • Extracting actionable understanding from vast data volumes presents a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a process vector integrating all pertinent information from a model process.
  • To create a tool for effective combination and visualization of complex process data.

Main Methods:

  • Collected physical (impeller torque, temperature) and chemical (near-infrared spectroscopy) data from high-shear granulation.
  • Constructed process vectors using combined data.
  • Visualized vectors using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Self-Organizing Maps (SOM).

Main Results:

  • Individual measurement techniques alone were insufficient to fully describe the process state.
  • Combined data visualization provided a comprehensive process overview.
  • Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) offered advantages over PCA, including direct variable interpretation and nonlinear analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating diverse data streams into a process vector is crucial for enhanced process understanding.
  • Both PCA and SOM are valuable for visualizing process progress and improving overall comprehension.
  • The SOM approach demonstrates particular utility for analyzing complex, nonlinear process dynamics.
