1. Develop Spectroscopy-Chemometrics Process
- Design the Process: Develop a process that integrates spectroscopy and chemometrics techniques for monitoring and analyzing the process.
- Select Spectroscopic Techniques: Choose appropriate spectroscopy methods (e.g., NIR, UV-Vis, SoloVPE, Raman, Terahertz, FTIR etc) based on application.
- Develop Chemometric Models: Create and validate chemometric models to interpret spectroscopic data (e.g., PCA, PLS, ANN, AI, ML).
2. Collect Spectroscopic-Chemometric Data
- Data Acquisition: Implement systems to collect real-time spectroscopic data from the process.
- Data Integration: Ensure the data is integrated with chemometric models for analysis.
3. Real-Time Process CQA and Parameters Visualization and Predictions
- Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs): Define and monitor CQAs in real-time using the spectroscopic and chemometric data.
- Visualization: Use dashboards or visualization tools to display real-time data and predictions.
- Predictive Analysis: Apply chemometric models to predict outcomes and trends based on real-time data.
4. Control and Monitor
- Select Control Charts: Choose appropriate control charts for monitoring process stability (e.g., X-bar, R charts).
- Plot Control Charts: Regularly plot data points and control limits on charts.
- Real-Time Analysis: Continuously analyze control charts to identify deviations or trends.
5. Chemometrics Process Control and Feedback
- Process Control: Implement control strategies based on chemometric analysis to adjust process parameters.
- Feedback Loop: Create a feedback mechanism to update chemometric models and process controls based on new data and observations.
6. Real-Time Delta-V and Data Historian, Documentation, and Communication
- Delta-V Analysis: Monitor changes and deviations (Delta-V) in real-time to ensure process stability.
- Data Historian: Use data historians to store historical process data for long-term analysis and trend identification.
- Documentation: Keep comprehensive records of data, analyses, and changes made to the process.
- Communication: Regularly update stakeholders with findings and improvements.
