classical versus Deep Learning APC.
Because there was a lot of production data available, we also investigated the added value of Deep Learning compared to classical methods of process learning in this project. It turned out that Deep Learning could have (limited) added value, but not enough worth the effort.
However, we did show that with a classical Advanced Process Control algorithm, learning from past production data also had the potential to increase throughput by another 50%. And again, the data necessary was already available.
