Intelligence quality control

The correct interpretation of measured process data is essential for the satisfactory execution of many computer-aided, intelligent decision support systems that modern processing plants require. In supervisory control, detection and diagnosis of faults, adaptive control, product quality control, and recovery from large operational deviations, determining the mapping from process trends to operational conditions is the pivotal task. Plant operators skilled in the extraction of real-time patterns of process data and the identification of distinguishing features in process trends, can form a mental model on the operational status and its anticipated evolution in time. 

An important complication that is specific to human developmental toxicity studies is the necessity to control for confounding factors that influence human development, such as parental intelligence, quality of home environment, nutritional factors and socioeconomic status (Bellinger et al., 1992 Bellinger, 1995). These may influence the outcomes from the newborn period to adulthood. In addition, assessment methods must take into consideration the time (days, months or years) that may intervene between exposure/insult and the expression of toxicity at a much later age. 

Viscometer design to fill simultaneously the needs of quality-control and production personnel as well as development engineers would appear to be a stimulating and rewarding field to which, evidently, little intelligent attention has been given to date. 

When using medical laboratories, physicians frequently assume that the results provided are accurate and precise. Those working in the laboratory environment know that this is true only within the constraints of the methods, technology and processes available. In this chapter we will explore how internal quality control (IQC) and external quality assurance (EQA) procedures can inform both the analyst and the physician about the limitations of laboratory testing and permit a more intelligent use of laboratory data, while at the same time indicating areas where improvement is required. 

National or international quality control schemes for plasma amino acids exist, such as the ERNDIM scheme. Virtually all schemes use consensus values as the most likely target values and an intelligent scheme adds to that information about repro-... 

The interest in LIMS is directly due to the need to manage the increasing amounts of data generated by the modern analytical laboratory. LIMS systems are used in quality control and analytical services laboratories within the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical industries and others, where intelligent, automatic instruments generate large amounts of data. The laboratory must process, correlate, report and store these data securely for long periods of time. 

In the lab, future expansion plans include the use of optical scanners for reading sample labels, operation of robots to relieve some of the manual operations and an artificial intelligence system to track quality control. In other areas, there will be an increase in the number of real time monitors, not necessarily because real time data is needed, but the cost can be small compared to sending out a field team. There will be some applications of direct monitoring by satellites such as LANDSAT D. Both of these will be incorporated into water quality models which will allow more intelligent choices of where to send a field team to collect samples for detailed analysis.

Poor quality control can devalue a product. To compensate, processes are often operated at lower rates or with considerable recycle. An intelligent control system, capable of maintaining uniform quality, may pay for itself by permitting increased production and/or lower costs.
