| contents | Accurate time-series forecasting for complex physical systems is the backbone of modern industrial monitoring and control, yet deep learning models often lack the physical consistency required in regulated environments.To bridge this gap, we introduce Process-Informed Forecasting (PIF) models for temperature in pharmaceutical lyophilization, embedding deterministic production recipes as macro-structural priors. We investigate classical methods (e.g., Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model) and modern deep learning architectures, including Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs). We compare three different loss function formulations that integrate a process-informed trajectory prior: a fixed-weight loss, a dynamic uncertainty-based loss, and a Residual-Based Attention (RBA) mechanism. We evaluate all models not only for accuracy and physical consistency but also for robustness to sensor noise. Furthermore, we test the practical generalizability of the best model in a transfer-learning scenario to a new process. Our results show that PIF models outperform their data-driven counterparts in terms of accuracy, physical plausibility and noise resilience, offering a scalable framework for reliable and generalizable forecasting solutions in critical manufacturing. |
