Embodiments include a computer-implemented method (and system) for performing automated batch data alignment for modeling, monitoring, and control of an industrial batch process. The method (and system) loads, scales, and screens plant historian batch data for an industrial batch process. The method (and system) selects a reference batch as basis of the batch alignment, defines and adds or modifies one or more batch phases, and selects one or more batch variables based on one or more profiles and corresponding curvatures of the batch data. The method (and system) estimates one or more weightings, adjust one or more tuning parameters and uses a sliding time window combined with DTW, DTI and GSS algorithms, performs the batch alignment in offline mode or online mode.
