Attached are the slides presented in the Sales Track at Kick-Off 2019.
Please use this thread to share success stories, war stories and practical examples of using FDE to drive opportunities with our customers.

Product knowledge
How much is enough?
What is JMP?
A tool to help you better understand your process
JMP is (primarily) designed for Scientists & Engineers wishing to:
Improve innovation in R&D
Reduce waste/cost in manufacturing/service operations

Functional Data Explorer - session objectives
What problems are addressed by Functional Data Explorer?
Improve innovation
Reduce waste/cost in manufacturing
How do customers approach these issues today?
Competition
How do I find targets for Functional Data Explorer?
What is ‘functional’ data?
A lot of data is really functional in form:
- Time series data
- Sensor streams from manufacturing processes
- Spectra
- Measurements taken over a range of temperatures






We approach these issues from 2 angles:
Functional Design of Experiments
Design TO A PROFILE
Use enhanced DOE to predict a response function (potency over time, force across distance)
How can I make something behave according to a particular profile?
Functional AI
Utilize the ‘curve data’ to better understand what is happening
Using functional data (sensor streams) to predict something (yield, production faults)
How can I predict (or understand) something using functional data?
Functional DOE – An Example

- Active ingredient particles for pharmaceutical formulation are milled
- The particles need to be within 70nm-85nm












Functional DOE - Applications
There are many applications of F-DOEs:
- Dissolution profiles for tablets/pills
- Formulation to match a particular spectra
- Product stability/shelf life
- Pharmacokinetics
- Shear/viscosity profiles of engine oils
- Force/distance profiles (e.g., safety belts)
- Surface tension over time (e.g., consumer dish soap)
Functional AI Example - bonding
- Automotive gyroscope uses a semiconductor manufacturing process with a step where glass is bonded to the devices (anodic bonding).
- The anodic bonding step is problematic: it destroys 12% of the wafers.
- The wafers cannot be tested for several weeks, after the rest of the production process steps are applied.
- The bonding tool has several sensors that take real-time measurements of charge, vacuum, flow, voltage, & piston force.

- Can we get early prediction of damaged wafers and screen them out?
Functional AI - Applications
- F-AI has already had successes:
- Predicting pharmaceutical batch yield using sensor streams taking measurements in the tank
- Early fault detection in semiconductor manufacturing using sensor streams
- Extract FPCs from multiple streams, and fit neural networks or generalized regression models to the parameter of interest…
