OptimalPlus is the intelligent backbone of modern manufacturing, unifying data into a single source of truth for real-time decisions, deep analysis, and proactive anomaly detection. Its AI-driven insights and automated actions optimize yield, throughput, and quality while reducing costs. OptimalPlus delivers end-to-end visibility across the product lifecycle.
OptimalPlus empowers manufacturers to overcome their most critical challenges through unified data, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation—driving higher yields, better quality, lower costs, and improved performance across even the most demanding manufacturing environments.
The OptimalPlus includes four configurable technology layers that seamlessly work together to provide end-to-end visibility and rules-based automation for modern manufacturing environments.
O+ Core collects, harmonizes, and transforms diverse data streams across the global supply chain and product lifecycle. It ensures data integrity and accuracy, unlocking faster insight, proactive decision-making, and adaptive actions. A robust rules engine and real-time alerts flag issues before they escalate.
O+ Advanced enhances O+ Core with advanced analytics and outlier detection applications that help manufacturers predict issues, prevent losses, and operate at peak performance. It enables smarter decisions and faster resolution across the manufacturing value chain.
O+.ai adds AI and machine learning to elevate manufacturing intelligence through automated discovery, predictive insights, and adaptive decision-making. Designed to scale, it supports built-in capabilities and customer-developed models to adapt as technologies and applications evolve.
O+ Real-Time adds real-time intelligence and control to the OptimalPlus platform, delivering insights and actions where they matter most—at the source. By processing and optimizing data directly at the equipment level (for example, sensors, machines, and equipment), it enables faster, AI-driven outcomes.
Capabilities | OptimalPlus | DIY Systems | Manufacturing Analytics Platforms/ Yield Management Systems/ERP/MES |
|---|---|---|---|
Unit Lifecycle Management with End-to-End Traceability | Complete—Combines genealogy tracking with rules, alerts, and real-time analytics, across global operations | Limited—Manual or semi-automated tracking that typically relies on custom scripts, MES extensions, or spreadsheets to track genealogy | Moderate—Not fully automated or real-time and often require manual configuration; they offer deep integration with tester-level analytics |
Global System with Real-Time Actions | Complete (Tester > Edge > Cloud)—Real-time deployment and orchestration of models and rules, allowing adaptive analytics and immediate corrective actions | Limited—Custom-built for critical use cases and workflows, but rarely scales and often lacks secure management of distributed AI/ML deployments | Limited—Not built for making dynamic adjustments during the build process |
Scale | Enterprise-grade, multi-fab, multi-OSAT/CM scales to multiple locations, amount, types of data, and users | Low—Hard to scale beyond a single site | Moderate—Design centric |
Open and Extensible | Open, modular architecture; API-first design supports integration with multiple vendors, platforms, and BI tools | Highly variable—Closed and fragmented, lacking standardized APIs | Moderate—Proprietary platform with limited openness |
Adaptive Manufacturing | Dynamic process adaptation, real-time visibility, and process intelligence | Tailored to specific requirements but requires large upfront investments and ongoing expenses | Real-time monitoring, control, and quality enforcement |
Yield Improvement | AI/ML-driven and proactive | Manual analysis and reactive | Diagnostic analytics |
Root Cause Analysis | Automated, near real-time; covers the entire product lifecycle chain | Varied, often taking days/weeks | Mostly offline and manual, primarily using historical and diagnostic data only |
Support and Services | 24x7 support with onboarding, deployment, maintenance, and customization services | Maintained internally or by third-party consultants | Vendor-backed tooling, deployment, and maintenance |
