Formulating High-Performance Coatings
Following our proven approach, ProSensus successfully reformulated several products for a manufacturer of high-performance coatings using a smaller set of raw ingredients. Coatings enhance the performance, durability and finish of painted surfaces and are commonly [...]
Deploying MVA as a Digital Twin to Address Equipment Fouling
Equipment fouling is a common operational challenge in manufacturing environments. Fouling can lead to major economic consequences due to increased operating costs and decreased productivity associated with the unplanned shutdowns required for frequent cleaning. Equipment [...]
Machine Vision for Mining & Metals
Machine vision can be used to precisely quantify the appearance of products and processes and can facilitate modeling, monitoring, control, and optimization of products and processes through visual quality metrics. There are numerous applications for [...]
Developing the Srixon Golf Ball Core
The RPD framework helped Mitsubishi Chemical formulate golf ball cores. The results included a 5% reduction in costs of an existing product, and the development of a new product with improved properties.
Versatile Off-Line Machine Vision System
ProSensus' off-line machine vision systems provide our clients with the opportunity to conduct semi-automated just-in-time QA and ad-hoc product development.
Rapid Custom Formulation of Silicone Antifoams
Empowering Dow Chemical to fill the demand for low-volume, high-urgency orders of custom specialty chemicals using ProSensus’ RPD framework.
Batch Polymerization: Mid-course Control
An emulsion polymer process was producing off-spec product in 10% of its batches. By implementing advanced batch control, they were able to completely eliminate the bad batches.
Acceptance Specifications on Raw Materials for Product Quality
ProSensus worked with Mondelez, a global food manufacturer, to establish specifications on new incoming raw material lots to avoid accepting lots that pose a high risk on the final product quality.
360 Degree Surface Inspection
One of the world's largest synthetic rubber producers came to ProSensus with customer-identified quality challenges. It was clear that both the human inspectors and the 2-camera inspection systems used in the company's plants weren't catching the problems.
Multi-Camera Machine Vision for Food Safety
ProSensus continues to assist leading manufacturers achieve higher quality standards by complimenting existing intermittent laboratory measurements with real-time, color and thermal camera-based quality inspection systems.
Seasoning Control for Snack Foods
A multivariate machine vision system was implemented for feedback control of seasoning snack foods, and achieved a 50% reduction in seasoning content error.
Finding The Formula For Success with PepsiCo!
PepsiCo Foods wanted to investigate a specific quality attribute across 26 flavours of muffins and reformulate according to the results. ProSensus determined which were the key ingredients and designed a platform for designing and evaluating new muffin formulas.
Rapid Product Development of Smart Biocompatible Polymers
A multivariate PLS model-based approach to the formulation of smart, biocompatible polymers for eye injections.
Multivariate Raw Material Specifications
Specifications on individual properties are often misleading. ProSensus calculates multivariate specification limits so you can accept/reject and compensate for variations in raw materials. Read about examples in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
Batch Frying of Snack Foods
By implementing ProSensus’ ProBatch Control technology, a leading snack food producer reduced the standard deviation on their product quality 50% and also significantly increased process capacity.
Using Soft Sensors to Reduce Lab Dependency
By implementing ProSensus’ ProBatch Control technology, a leading snack food producer reduced the standard deviation on their product quality 50% and also significantly increased process capacity.
Optimization of Tablet Manufacturing
ProSensus helped optimize a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing line, providing a method to reduce the time needed to respond to changes on the line and improve the final product quality.
Troubleshooting an Industrial Batch Process
A herbicide manufacturer was producing many out-of-specification batches in their batch dryer. Multivariate analysis was used to troubleshoot why unacceptable chemical structural changes were occurring.
Roller Compaction and Process Scale Up
Scaling production from lab-scale to full scale can be time consuming, frustrating and costly. An effective alternative is to apply numerical optimization on multivariate models that span both scales.
Johnson & Johnson: Seamless Data Analysis
ProSensus helped integrate state-of-the-art multivariate calculation tools into Johnson & Johnson’s in-house software so that multivariate analysis could become part of their standard data analysis workflow.
