Innovalight to deploy Eyelit’s MES for development and future manufacturing

Silicon nanocrystalline ink module producer Innovalight has selected Eyelit's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for both its development and future manufacturing needs. Eyelit’s software suite enables Innovalight to track WIP, consumables, inventory and experiments as part of a comprehensive integrated MES approach for full tracking and process traceability.

"We reviewed several MES vendors and selected Eyelit because of their product flexibility, speed of implementation, and low cost of entry. We wanted a solution that meets our development needs today and one that we will need as we move to production," said Tu Du, Vice President of Operations for Innovalight. "Eyelit's experience, knowledge, and understanding of photovoltaic (PV) solar manufacturing were also a big plus."

Eyelit’s solution enables solar start-ups to begin with a low-cost solution, yet provides the needed infrastructure to scale with Eyelit’s broad set of functionality and copy-smart capability,” commented Dan Estrada, Vice President of Sales and Business Development at Eyelit, Inc. “Many solar manufacturers are finding with the rapid growth in the solar market, they are quickly outgrowing smaller point or home-grown solutions. Many solar manufacturers are at a crossroad of further investment or the need to reinvest in new, scalable software for high-volume production.”

Innovalight is a Silicon Valley-based start-up in pre-production operations.

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
