LIMERICK, Ireland — November 8th 2026 — yieldHUB, the semiconductor yield management platform, today announced that yieldHUB Live has been named a finalist at the AI Awards 2026, organized by AI Ireland. The AI Awards recognize the organizations and people applying artificial intelligence to deliver measurable impact across Irish industry.

yieldHUB Live is a real-time production analytics system for semiconductor manufacturing. Traditional yield analysis is retrospective: engineers pull data after a lot completes and investigate what went wrong. yieldHUB Live runs parametric and yield analysis continuously on data arriving from the test floor, surfacing drift and abnormal device behavior while wafers and devices are still being processed, so engineers can intervene before silicon is scrapped.

The system analyzes parametric measurements and bin results across millions of devices, multiple test programs, sites and testers, and flags the parameters that actually correlate with a failure. The result for semiconductor manufacturers is faster time to root cause, fewer scrapped wafers and lower water, energy and material consumption per working chip. yieldHUB Live has already delivered significant savings for customers.

"We talk a lot about how much silicon AI needs, and not enough about how much intelligence silicon needs," said Gillian O'Donnell, Director of Growth at yieldHUB.
