Chapter 5: Industrial Applications

5.1 Overview of Industrial Applications

Bayesian optimization has achieved proven results across a wide range of industrial sectors including chemical processes, materials manufacturing, and pharmaceutical development. In this chapter, we will learn how to apply theory to real processes through seven practical case studies.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about industrial applications of Bayesian optimization through seven case studies.

Key Learnings

• Real Process Complexity: Combined challenges of multi-objective, constraints, high-dimensionality
• Stepwise Approach: From simple to complex problems
• Constraint Handling: Reliable compliance with safety and quality specifications
• Multi-Objective Optimization: Tradeoff visualization and decision support
• Experimental Reduction Effect: Average 70-80% reduction in number of experiments
• Performance Improvement: 30-50% performance improvement (case dependent)

Implementation Best Practices

1. Problem Formulation: Clarify objectives, constraints, and parameter ranges
2. Initial Sampling: Cover space comprehensively with Latin Hypercube
3. Appropriate Acquisition Function: Select EI/UCB/Constrained according to problem
4. Reliable Constraint Compliance: Never compromise on safety and quality specifications
5. Sequential Improvement: Target convergence in 30-50 iterations
6. Results Verification: Confirm optimal solution with multiple experiments

Next Steps

Having completed the series, you are now ready to apply Bayesian optimization to real processes. The next step is to apply it to your own process and achieve continuous improvement!
