In this case, SampleManager LIMS would use historical data to gain an understanding of the critical variables that determine whether a product is safe for consumers. This holistic approach considers not only the values of the individual critical variables themselves, but also the relationships between them. If a sample were to be flagged as failing, the system would alert stakeholders in advance to issue adjustments or investigations to avoid any risk to finished products.<\/p>\n<p>Noticing early that a product will fail one or more tests on the production line is vital to avoid spending resources on further testing and to take corrective actions to a product to avoid failing in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The Profiling capability also gives the laboratory a powerful tool to identify the tests that are more relevant based on their predictive power of an eventual pass or fail of a specific test of interest. This information will help the laboratory modify its production line to start with the more relevant tests, avoid executing a test and reduce its operational costs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2339\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2339\" class=\"wp-image-2339 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/wine_quality_blog_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Using machine learning techniques to predict wine quality\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/wine_quality_blog_resized.jpg 800w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/wine_quality_blog_resized-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/wine_quality_blog_resized-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/wine_quality_blog_resized-96x65.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Machine learning applications in wine quality testing.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Profiling capability: A wine quality use case<\/h2>\n<p>To understand the benefit of the Profiling capability, consider its application in a winery laboratory. A wine production facility conducts various tests on wine samples. The tests evaluate pH, alcohol, density, residual sugars, and others. After performing the full battery of standard tests, the quality control team executes a time consuming and expensive \u201cQuality Test\u201d that classifies a wine as high or low quality. High quality wines are packed and sold to final customers, while low quality wines are reprocessed and tested again to assure a high-quality product. Wines that fail to pass the second quality control will be sold at a lower cost to a different customer.<\/p>\n<h2>Early identification of wines for reprocessing reduces costs<\/h2>\n<p>As the final \u201cQuality Test\u201d is expensive and time consuming, wine testing laboratories want to predict the outcome of this test in advance. Knowing which samples are likely to pass the \u201cQuality Test\u201d would help accelerate the process and save resources by avoiding the final test for products that are not likely to pass. The Profiling capability can make such predictions by analyzing complex relationships between previous tests done to the wine such as pH, alcohol, residual sugars, and others.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, a wine laboratory could apply the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/connectedlab\/enhancing-the-scientific-lab-experience-part-2-the-data-centric-environment\/\">Profiling capability<\/a> to the wine samples and evaluate its results to consider using the model as a predictor for the final test.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2331\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2331\" class=\"wp-image-2331 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_results_evaluation.png\" alt=\"Prediction of the \u201cQuality Test\u201d using all previous tests in the production line.\" width=\"1270\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_results_evaluation.png 1270w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_results_evaluation-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_results_evaluation-1024x419.png 1024w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_results_evaluation-768x314.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prediction of the \u201cQuality Test\u201d using all previous tests in the production line.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this example, the laboratory would notice the algorithm performance meets their needs and therefore could be used to predict the results of the \u201cQuality Test.\u201d In case there is a high probability of failure, further testing would be stopped, and the wine would be sent to reprocessing immediately.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2332\" style=\"width: 539px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2332\" class=\"wp-image-2332 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_new_workflow.png\" alt=\"New workflow using the Profiling capability.\" width=\"529\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_new_workflow.png 529w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/connectedlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/profiling_wine_test_new_workflow-258x300.png 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New workflow using the Profiling capability.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Optimizing the production line to fail early<\/h2>\n<p>The order of the tests in a production line is normally defined by different business characteristics, such as stage of the product, time reduction, equipment optimization, the frequency of failing a specific test, physical limitations, and others.

In this example, the lab\u00a0 concluded that grouping various tests in three stages could provide valuable information to make the prediction. With such insight, the laboratory modified its standard testing in a three staged workflow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stage 1: conduct alcohol, density, and chlorides. Predict the quality of the wine; if it passes, continue to Stage 2 otherwise fail early.<\/li>\n<li>Stage 2: Sum volatile acidity, residual sugar, sulphates, total sulfur dioxide and citric acid to the tests performed in Stage 1.
