Case Study: Automotive Electronics Manufacturer achieves 5% yield improvement with Keysight PathWave Manufacturing Analytics

Automotive Electronics Manufacturer Revs Up Yield by 5%

Automotive Electronics Manufacturer faced rising scrap rates and collapsing manual feedback loops when travel was restricted, leaving Excel files and screen captures unable to diagnose yield issues quickly. To digitize their processes and enable remote analytics, they turned to Keysight and its PathWave Manufacturing Analytics (PMA) solution.

Keysight deployed PMA across the production line, using machine‑learning anomaly detection and real‑time alerts so engineers could find faults (one test fixture was identified in hours instead of days) and act remotely. The result: first‑pass yield rose from 94% to 99% (a 5% improvement) within two weeks, about 44 engineering hours saved per week, fewer retests and less scrap, and sustained remote collaboration and monitoring.
