   A packaging plant has conveyor motors that occasionally overheat and fail, causing unplanned downtime. The maintenance team currently replaces motors on a fixed schedule. They want to reduce unexpected failures without replacing motors too early. Sensor data (temperature, vibration, current draw) is already being collected from each motor. What should they implement first?

   • AA computer vision system that inspects motor housings for visible cracks or discoloration
   • BA digital twin of the conveyor line used to simulate motor wear under different load conditions
   • CA predictive maintenance model that flags motors likely to fail within a forecast window based on sensor trends
   • DA real-time process optimization system that adjusts conveyor speed to keep motor temperature below a fixed threshold

   What is a digital twin in the context of industrial processes?

   • AA 3D-printed model of a machine part for training purposes
   • BA virtual replica of a physical system that can be used for simulation and analysis
   • CA backup copy of the control software used in a factory
   • DA second physical machine that mirrors the first for redundancy

   A semiconductor fab wants to increase inspection speed without sacrificing defect detection accuracy. The current AI vision system is accurate but too slow, causing a bottleneck. The company also wants to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries for human inspectors who do secondary checks. What should they do?

   • AUse a predictive maintenance model to reduce downtime of the inspection cameras
   • BUse a single, more accurate AI model that is slower but catches all defects
   • CDeploy a two-stage inspection: a fast AI model to screen normal wafers and a slower, more accurate AI model only for suspicious wafers
   • DReplace the AI system with more human inspectors to increase speed
