Ayar Labs and yieldWerx Partner to Streamline Photonics Test Data Analytics, Delivering Measurable Results in Just 30 Days

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --

The Challenge

Ayar Labs' engineering teams faced challenges ingesting and analyzing non-standard test data across electro-optical and final test flows while scaling to meet aggressive go-to-market timelines. They sought a test analytics partner capable of loading, validating, and extracting insights from diverse datasets while supporting real-time alerting, yield recovery, and deep engineering analytics.

The Implementation

Week 1–2: Connecting the Pipes
Within the first two weeks, a secure cloud instance of yieldWerx was deployed, and raw data files were streaming in. The platform's flexible pipelines ingested test data without custom code. The yieldWerx team went further, helping refine business rules, improve data quality, and enrich the information for greater downstream impact.

Week 3: First Insights
By week three, live dashboards were operational. Engineers could view wafer maps, outlier signatures, and correlations that previously required manual effort and scripting. Instead of working across multiple spreadsheets, they now had traceable, drill-down analytics at their fingertips.

Week 4: Real Results
 In less than a month, the system was already supporting real yield decisions. Lots that previously required lengthy reviews were dispositioned in hours. Engineers trusted the analytics, and leadership recognized the tangible impact on quality and time-to-market. Ayar Labs is now preparing to onboard additional data formats, including qualification, reliability, and characterization.

The Outcome

The 30-Day Challenge demonstrated that yieldWerx is not just another analytics solution. In weeks, not months, yieldWerx moved from fragmented data to a unified platform that drives yield improvement, accelerates ramps, and reduces risk.
