The multivariate modeling aims to create stable prediction tools, which will indicate disturbances or deviations early in the process. Thereby, the operators are able to avoid costly upsets or shutdowns.
Umetrics on-line software
SIMCA-4000
and
SIMCA-Batch On-line
are popular for that reason. The software show the process status in intuitive graphics instead of data tables, and so the “being” of the process is exposed.
