MKS Data Analytics Solutions announces the release of SIMCA-online 14, a real-time process monitoring solution for total product confidence. Highlighted new features in SIMCA-online 14.

SIMCA-online 14 simplifies for administrators and users:

Active Directory group integration, making it easy to add groups of people that control which Windows users are allowed to log in to SIMCA-online

Single sign-on to automatically logs in a user in SIMCA-online with the user’s Windows account

SIMCA-online 14 simplifies the workflow for multivariate experts responsible for the models:

SIMCA projects can now easily be updated with new data in the right format from SIMCA-online and then just refitted in SIMCA and re-uploaded to SIMCA-online.

Other improvements include:

New Unit Overview that shows the status of all units in the process, including executing configurations, active batches and alarm status

Automatic re-opening of configurations and plots that were open when the client was closed

Color by / size by in plots for continuous processes adds extra dimensions to the visible data

Sources of variation plots for batch level plots

Full support for OPLS models for batch and continuous processes. This is especially useful for the batch evolution processes where you now can filter out variability that is linearly correlated to the maturity, meaning that it becomes a lot easier to interpret the evolution scores.
