Data Mining Technologies

Gaining process understanding from plant data

... is your gain

The use of data mining techniques in process data analysis is an innovation largely developed by Bayer Technology Services.

With the aid of data mining, hidden properties can be identified by searching for characteristic patterns in process data. This approach promises success, particularly if backed by the knowledge of a leading technology provider such as Bayer Technology Services.

Data mining is an indispensable tool for:

  • troubleshooting tasks – rapidly identifying the cause of a process disturbance;
  • process optimization – identifying and quantifying primary influencing factors to establish the optimal operating point;
  • plant commissioning – understanding the true behavior of the plant.

 

Project management and consulting

Bayer Technology Services offers a broad spectrum of data mining services in flexible packages. We adapt to the individual requirements of our customers.

Our service offering ranges from a pure data mining study to an integrated overall project that covers the full cycle from process analysis to an optimized process control strategy. Activities include:

  • data survey;
  • process characterization;
  • process modeling;
  • optimization.

Finally, a tool for statistical process control is designed, developed and installed in the process.
