Solar Manufacturing

Vistrian manufacturing intelligence management software was used specifically to help photovoltaic (PV) manufacturers increase cell efficiency and reduce costs.

The increased competitiveness and demand in the solar industry requires PV manufacturers to focus on cell efficiency to maximize margins. Vistrian solutions help PV manufacturers accomplish this, while at the same time, produce cost reductions that will further help the industry reach 'grid parity'.

Vistrian solutions incorporate a unique database structure and analysis engine optimized for the unique requirements of any high-volume production process. It provides comprehensive analysis of process performance information, allowing manufacturers to discover and act upon opportunities to improve the energy conversion efficiency of their products. Using Vistrian solutions, PV process engineers can monitor the health of a complete production line and quickly identify tool and sub-component problems as well as incoming material issues that could impact the line. If even possible, this kind of analysis would take hours to perform without Vistrian software.

Vistrian software accepts all available data from each step in the solar manufacturing process. Statistical process control with automated reporting gets critical information to the right people fast.
