the industrial internet of things (iiot) will have a tremendous effect on industries worldwide. the application of smart manufacturing will enable manufacturers to perform advanced analytics to quickly and easily identify inefficiencies and problems in their manufacturing lines and drive transparency into their global operations.

Optimal+ is the only Big Data analytics software company to provide an end-to-end product analytics solution for semiconductor and electronics companies. Our enterprise-grade platform delivers unique analytics on product data in a common, standardized language that enables brand owners and their suppliers to measurably improve all aspects of their products, from performance to quality and yield.

Brand owners that take advantage of the power of product analytics can greatly extend the value of the iiot beyond what traditional process analytics can provide. the use of product analytics drives a more holistic view of manufacturing operations that covers the entire product life cycle and spans the global supply chain. this complete view of the product is crucial to providing end-customers with devices that outperform the competition and deliver a superior user experience.

in addition, product analytics also helps break down the silos that exist in manufacturing operations and allow for even tighter integration between enterprise systems such as: enterprise resource Planning (erP) systems; Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems; Supply Chain Management (SCM); and Customer relationship Management (CrM) systems.

Production-Proven Product Analytics

Optimal+ has unmatched domain expertise in product analytics and manufacturing test operations for the semiconductor and electronics industries. We are passionate about enabling our customers to deliver better products as they embrace the iiot and industry 4.0.

to that end, we developed our groundbreaking product analytics platforms for the iiot – big data software solutions that enable companies to listen to “the voice of the product” by leveraging their manufacturing data to deliver real-time insights and action. these critical insights can be quickly accessed and utilized by any business unit within the company for improving product quality and reliability with less waste and greater efficiency.

Moreover, we provide the only solution in the market to manage the mutual sharing of product and manufacturing data between semiconductor OCMs and electronic OeMs, breaking new ground by facilitating transparency into product genealogy and traceability in the extended semiconductor-electronics ecosystem.

With over 50 billion chips and boards processed annually, Optimal+ provides solutions that drive iiot connectivity, enhance yield and productivity, reduce rMAs, and usher in an age of robust, long-term quality products.

Optimal+ sets the industr y standard for data integrity in semiconductor and electronics operat ions. We del iver the cleanest, most consistent deep product datasets, including all parametric test measurements taken from multiple test stages, in a single common language that enable rules-based queries to be performed swiftly and efficiently to meet specific KPis. this total data governance – comprehensive, correlated, accurate and trusted – represents the tipping point between outdated data-mining and targeted actionable analytics for improving iiot performance and efficiency.

Optimal+ provides the only complete, end-to-end software platform that enables companies to automatically collect, detect and act on data generated anywhere throughout a distributed semiconductor or electronics supply chain with little to no human interaction required. the ability to address any issue within minutes of its identification – regardless of the source or location of the data – enables seamless iiot connectivity across the smart manufacturing supply chain. Moreover, it drives significant rOi for customers as measured by increased product yield, higher quality and reduced rMAs.

O p t i m a l + wa s fo u n d e d by veterans of the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industries who bring decades of expertise in addressing all aspects of silicon wafer and electronics manufacturing operations. As such, we recognize the challenges in manufacturing quality iCs, PCB boards and electronics systems through a global supply chain. in turn, we have incorporated best known methods into our solutions that have been fully deployed and production-proven by the top companies in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.
