Manufacturers are looking to speed up innovation by improving their processes with substantial investments in infrastructure modernization, technology partnerships, and AI/ML. Spotfire and AWS are teaming up to help manufacturers do this—and more. Some of the largest high-tech manufacturers rely on Spotfire® visual data science to optimize efficiency, increase product quality, reduce waste, drive revenue growth, and streamline supply chains.
Optimize and detect to overcome key challenges
Your manufacturing company may struggle with these common challenges:
- Inefficient processes and an inability to predict equipment maintenance to save operational costs and increase product quality
- Fragmentation of data, impeding supply chain insights
- Infrastructure costs associated with transformational projects and the need to innovate by leveraging data science techniques
Spotfire aims to help manufacturers address these challenges by improving production with process optimization, driving long-term value with statistical process control, and maintaining asset performance with anomaly detection—just to name a few solutions.
Process optimization
Optimized processes result in better controls and improved product quality. With Spotfire, you can minimize risk with advanced quality-control analytics, root-cause analysis, and validated reports. By increasing supply chain visibility, you can find and remove bottlenecks throughout your distribution channels.
Spotfire enables researchers and practitioners to plan, design, and analyze experiments in a controlled, scientifically valid manner. High-tech manufacturers use the Spotfire platform to deliver Wafer Map Analytics, Trellised Wafer Maps, and similar tools that help them maintain high quality, achieve maximum throughput, reduce waste, increase profitability, and mitigate risk.
Statistical process control (SPC)
Drive continuous improvement and encourage innovation with statistical process control (SPC). Using digital twin technology with sensor analytics, manufacturing leaders can fine-tune and control production processes. Many use Spotfire analytics to predict the properties of wafers, leveraging millions of parameters to model product digital twins for yield evaluation and identify the process parameters responsible for yield loss, perform root cause analysis, and evaluate test results on the final product.
When you can identify where possible yield loss is happening, you can improve those processes, and decrease the uncertainty in your production lines.
Anomaly detection
Spotfire keeps your factory running smoothly with anomaly detection. You can rest assured your expensive equipment will keep producing for years by measuring deviations in temperature, pressure, or other key parameters. With anomaly detection, you can set up alerts to know when equipment is underperforming and use predictive analytics to forecast when your machines might need planned downtime. This eliminates costly unplanned downtime, machine failure, or worse—machine replacement. Planning appropriate maintenance outside of peak production hours saves your company time, increases the longevity of your assets, and keeps costs down.
Looking for flexible deployment?
Spotfire® software makes smart people even smarter by embedding powerful visual data science into the tools and processes that operational leaders use every day. Together with AWS, Spotfire delivers powerful action-oriented intelligence to manufacturing leaders, exactly where and when they need it.
Spotfire was designed to be cloud-ready and is available through the AWS marketplace with no data limits, upfront costs, or long-term commitments—allowing you to pay for only what your organization needs.
