  1. (logistics) Synonym of wave picking.
    • 2018 August 15, Michael Badwi, “Traditional wave processing or order streaming, which do you need?”, in Supply Chain Junction‎[1], United States, archived from the original on 7 September 2025:
      Wave processing has been around for a very long time and is native to most WMS products. The core of waving is that it selects and organises your pool of orders into tasks and activities for execution in the warehouse, typically on a batch level based on pre configured criteria such as route, customer and cut off time.
  2. (engineering) The act or technique of modifying the properties of a wave or/and translating it from one environment to the other. It is usually preceded by the technique used or type of wave being processed.
    Synonym: signal processing

      THE FEASIBILITY OF MAN TO MACHINE COMMUNICATTION through brain-wave processing is the topic of this paper. We are interested in determining whether or not it could be possible to monitor changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG) produced voluntarily by a subject and translate these changes into a set of commands to be issued to an external device.
  3. (physics, engineering) The act or technique of transforming data coming from sensors into measurements of a wave. It is usually preceded by the type of wave being measured.

      Lock-in principle is the technique of choice, if the signal has to be extracted from statistical noise. This work focuses on theoretical analysis of lock-in thermography. Three thermal wave processing algorithms are investigated to extract the amplitude and phase angle of thermal wave’s harmonic component. The amplitude or phase image is used for non-destructive subsurface defect detection in solids. By means of the mathematical analysis on the thermal wave in transient state, a new transient thermal wave processing algorithm is proposed to detect subsurface defects.
    1. (oceanography) The act or technique of measuring an ocean wave.
      • 2023 December 11, Fiorentino, L.A.; Ilogho, D.; Heitsenrether, R. and Hensley, W., “Update on NOAA’s development and test of measuring waves with a radar tide gauge”, in OCEANS 2023 - MTS/IEEE U.S. Gulf Coast, United States, →DOI, pages 1-6:
        More recently we have developed and implemented real-time wave processing on the tide gauges data logger, following the previously reported, Matlab implemented, algorithms.
  4. (quantum computing) Processing done by a quantum computer. It is usually preceded by "quantum".
    • 2001 June 13, D.K. Ferry, R. Akis and J. Harris, “Quantum wave processing”, in Superlattices and Microstructures, volume 30, number 2, Netherlands, →DOI, pages 81-94:
      We then turn to the advantages which quantum wave processing, where the real analog properties are exploited, can have in nanotechnology-based implementations. Finally, some quantum wave approaches are presented as examples in which the important inherent dissipative processes can be identified.
  5. (business) The act or technique of modifying certain properties of raw material or products with waves. It is usually preceded by the type of wave being used.
    • 2015 May 15, Xiuyan Guo, Zhengwu Jiang, Haoxin Li and Wenting Li, “Production of recycled cellulose fibers from waste paper via ultrasonic wave processing”, in Journal of Applied Polymer Science, volume 132, number 19, United States, →DOI:
      The objective of this article was to study the production of recycled cellulose fibers from waste paper using ultrasonic wave processing. The physical and chemical properties of recycled cellulose fibers, such as water absorption, specific surface area and pore characteristics, etc., were investigated with various testing methods. The results indicated that the ultrasonic cavitation effect was feasible for the preparation of the secondary fibers.
