Integrating Process Indicators with Monitoring Method Hybrids

摘要

In this article the benefits of process monitoring are discussed. The different aspects of data-based monitoring methods and their combinations are reviewed. The role of process indicators is discussed, and the concept of combining a monitoring method library with the process indicators is presented. Finally, the benefits of process indicators and monitoring method hybrids are demonstrated with five industrial process monitoring applications created by the Laboratory of Process Control and Automation, Helsinki University of Technology.
