  • Freeze drying process and equipment health monitoring
    Patent number: 11359861
    Abstract: In a system and method for controlling a freeze drying process, a diagnostics server (718) is connected for receiving time series data from a freeze drying system (710, 711). The diagnostics server uses a tuned freeze drying system mathematical model to analyze the time series data to predict a system event, and alter the freeze drying process. An analytics server (730) is connected for secure communication with the diagnostics server, and creates and tunes the freeze drying system mathematical model. An equipment provider service and diagnostic cloud (735) may apply learning algorithms to the time series data to enhance diagnostic tools and provide predictive maintenance and diagnostic services to the operator of the first production sites using the diagnostic tools.
    Type: Grant
