Curvaceous Software has announced that the Japan Patent Office has granted a patent for the control of multi-variables processes using a single operating envelope.
The patent is about getting the process back into the best operating zone (BOZ) known as operating envelope.
The concept is based on Geometric Process Control (GPC) technology.
GPC identifies the BOZ of a process from existing data.
The BOZ is defined by the multi-variable operating points that in the past produced the best performance.
A multi-dimensional surface wraps around the set of points creating a multi-dimensional solid object, capturing in geometry all of the interactions between the ranges of all the variables.
By operating the process wholly within this object the best performance results of the past can be repeated.
