Data
Various sources may be real time, historical or feed-forward, &
structured to feed decision engine (algorithms)
Data Structure & Control Path
Deliver targeted data to the analysis engine & decisions to the action
point
Decision Algorithms
Models to automatically adjust test based on input data
Analysis Engine(s)
Executes rules/algorithms on the data based on product
parameters. May be separate or embedded in test program or
station controller software
Station Controller
To communicate with or run the analysis engine and take action
