Abstract: A method for adjusting a blend composition includes: receiving target blend composition data associated with a target blend composition having a target blend property; controlling blend component flow streams to cause blend components to be added to a blend tank to form a blend composition; determining a property of the blend composition; comparing the property of the blend composition with the target blend property; generating control flow instructions based on the property of the blend composition and a machine learning analysis of historical blend data; and adjusting a blend component flow stream of the blend component flow streams to form a modified blend composition in the blend tank.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products for producing and applying a spray foam producing mixture onto a surface, and imaging a spray cone, or the applied surface, using an infrared or an optical imaging device to capture an image, and then determining, based on the captured image, if a defect that requires correction exists in the spray cone or in the applied surface; and optionally, in response to determining that a defect requiring correction exists, modifying a process parameter in producing or applying spray foam.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products for producing polyurethane foam, and then imaging the polyurethane foam at or just after the outlets while the foam is being produced, above the surface of the foam at an angle greater than zero to less than degrees relative to the surface of the foam, or after the foam is cut but before it has cooled to room temperature, using an infrared or an optical imaging device, to capture an image of the polyurethane foam, and determining, based on the captured image, if a defect that requires correction exists in the polyurethane foam; and optionally, in response to determining that a defect requiring correction exists, modifying a process parameter in producing the polyurethane foam.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products for producing rigid foam board, comprising: depositing a foam producing mixture on a facer as it travels along a conveyor; producing a rigid foam board via an exothermic reaction; imaging the rigid foam board after it is produced but before it has cooled to room temperature, using an infrared or an optical imaging device, to capture an image of the rigid foam board; receiving a signal comprising the captured image from the imaging device to a computing device; determining, based on the captured image, if a defect that requires correction exists in the rigid foam board; and optionally, in response to determining that a defect requiring correction exists, modifying a process parameter in producing rigid foam board.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of optimizing an industrial process includes comparing current environmental condition data to historic environment condition data for at least one day preceding a specified day. The method also includes determining a visual state from a plurality of visual states for the at least one day based on the comparison between the current environmental condition data and the historic environment condition data. The method further includes generating a calendar interface comprising a plurality of days preceding the specified day and corresponding to a plurality of visual representations. The method further includes generating a graphical user interface comprising historical data for at least one type of industrial process.
