  • Gain a Deeper Process Understanding through Batch Analytics

    Jim Cahill
    Models can help bring understanding to complex processes. In batch manufacturing, one of the benefits from generating models from process history data is the process understanding gained by going through the steps of generating and refining the model. These steps involve reviewing the data to be used in the model as well as examining the results of the model generation. I caught up with Emerson’s David Rehbein , a…
