Abstract: In an industrial plant, various equipment are used to handle processing of raw materials. Considering complexities involved in the processes and the equipment, constant monitoring is required to obtain desired results. The disclosure herein generally relates to industrial process and equipment monitoring, and, more particularly, to data analysis for Just In Time (JIT) characterization of raw materials in any process industry. The system collects real-time plant data among other inputs, and performs characterization of raw materials being used in the plant. The characterization involves categorizing the raw materials into different classes. The class information is further used to predict performance of the industrial plant, and in turn to generate recommendations for optimization of the industrial plant.

Abstract: State of the art techniques used for Flue Gas Desulpharization (FGD) process monitoring fail to comprehend the relationship between various process parameters, which is crucial in determining the performance of a FGD process being monitored. The disclosure herein generally relates to industrial process monitoring, and, more particularly, to a method and system for performance optimization of Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) Unit. The system identifies Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) associated with the process being monitored, and identifies parameters associated with each KPI. This information is used to generate several predictive models, from which a predictive model having the highest value of composite model score amongst the predictive models is selected as the predictive model for processing the input data, which is then used to perform optimization of the FGD process.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and system for adaptive learning of physics-based models, data-driven models and hybrid models used in an industrial manufacturing plant. A model-based optimization and advisory device (MOAD) is configured for monitoring performance of data-driven and physics-based models of industrial process units in real-time, computing model quality index for models, triggering adaptive learning of these models and in case of drift in predictions, diagnosing the reasons for drift in predictions. Suggesting re-tuning, re-building, and recreating of the models to achieve highest prediction quality, and automatic deployment of latest models.
