In this course, we will review the data produced by factory machines such as SMT and test equipment and how AI tools can be leveraged to assist with the analysis and interpretation of the data. The course is designed around practical, interactive learning experiences with an anonymized real-world dataset and freely available analysis and visualization tools. AI agents and copilots will be directly created live in the course using UI tools to visually illustrate the concepts and show what is possible with current technologies.
