ESP for Predictive Maintenance to improve manufacturing yields

[JWootton]

Some of my SAP colleagues presented an interesting paper on an event processing use case at the DEBS 2013 conference this year (the 7th ACM international conference on Distributed event-based systems).  The paper, entitled "HUGO: real-time analysis of component interactions in high-tech manufacturing equipment" presents the findings of a research project they carried out to monitor and analyze - in real-time - sensor data from high-tech manufacturing equipment with the goal of increasing system yield by looking for correlations among the different sensor readings that could be used to predict quality deterioration.
