Method for controlling an industrial process

1. A method for controlling an industrial process for manufacturing or processing of a product, wherein the controlling is based on a physical model of the industrial process, and wherein, to optimize the controlling, at least one correction factor is determined in accordance with the following steps:

storing parameters of finished products and at least one correction factor as product data records;

comparing for each manufacturing or processing of a new product, the stored product data records with parameters of the new product which build a new product data record;

determining similar product data records; and

determining from correction factors of the similar product data records during the manufacturing of the new product at least one new correction factor for the new product data record,

wherein, to determine the new correction factor a model is determined beforehand, in which, by using the new product data record the new correction factor can be calculated.

2. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the model is a linear model.

3. The method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the correction factors are weighted to determine the new correction factor.

5. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the product data records are stored chronologically.

6. The method in accordance with claim 5 , wherein the industrial process is subject to additional closed loop control.

7. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the correction factors are weighted to determine the new correction factor.

8. The method in accordance with claim 7 , wherein chronologically more recent correction factors are weighted more heavily than chronologically older factors.

9. The method in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the correction factors are weighted more heavily the more similar they are.

10. The method in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the industrial process is subject to additional closed loop control.
