Solar Manufacturing Solutions | ILS Technology M2M Solutions

The world-wide “green”, renewable energy revolution has created a boom in the solar panel market.  Solar cell fabrication plants (FABs) increasingly face the challenge of creating large volumes of c-Si or thin film solar cells with consistent quality and low costs.  Hence, they are especially focused on minimizing tool downtime.  The FABs also closely monitor and control every step of their manufacturing process (etching, diffusion and screen-printing).

The solar FAB’s constant focus on maximizing CIGS efficiency and cell output means that factory solution and tool suppliers (OEMs) face tough SLAs with stiff penalties.  They are under constant pressure to bring their tools online in the shortest time possible and ensure maximum tool availability and performance.  All these factors make the perfect case for remote monitoring and remediation of Solar FAB machine tools.

ILS Technology’s Solar solution enables:

  • real-time, direct, two-way communications with solar FAB machine tools
  • highly secure remote access with granular access rules
  • authenticated and authorized global collaboration and file transfer
  • tool status visibility on the web and mobile devices
  • on-demand access to tools for remote remediation

ILS Technology’s Solar Manufacturing solution allows customers to:

  • remotely monitor and manage tools inside client Solar FABs
  • enable remote access to corporate resources (manuals, tool guides) for their service engineers from inside client FABs
  • collaborate globally and share tool data in real-time, to resolve tool issues and implement process improvements instantly
  • create new revenue streams by increasing the scope of their services
  • meet their SLAs through pro-active, remote monitoring and management

Solar FABs require a remote monitoring and service solution that meets their tight budget restrictions.  ILS Solar Manufacturing solution enables cost-effective, secure two-way access from Solar FABs.  Already in use by industry leaders, ILS Technology’s Solar Manufacturing solution is a combination of its universal connectivity, remote access, real-time collaboration and web visualization products in an easy to deploy and use package.

ILS Technology Solar Manufacturing solution customers can increase their revenue opportunities through new services while realizing significant operational savings through streamlined service operations.
