R19’s scalability and ease of use features are designed to accelerate process manufacturing insights. They include parallelization of complex calculations across CPUs within a single server, administration tools for performance optimization and increased control and visibility by users into their efforts with real-time progress indicators. The usability features are focused on capsules—data objects for working with single or multi-dimensional time periods. Users can select capsules to define a custom group of capsules, for example, choosing a set of capsules to define an optimized outcome or failure state. They also can see which capsules are currently “in process” to compare these batches against historical averages.
