Eyelit’s software is used to track, monitor, and provide product visibility throughout Ascent Solar’s manufacturing process, from incoming rolls to completed PV solar modules. With the implementation of Eyelit’s software, Ascent Solar is able to consolidate several homegrown microsoft access databases and excel-based tracking sheets.
Eyelit’s asset management platform enables improvement in managing equipment maintenance and automation of critical processes integral to thin-film PV production. It provides tool monitoring, management of maintenance tasks, as well as built-in warnings, alerts and logbooks for improved communications in maintenance operations and efficiency in equipment utilization.
Zane Rakes, vice-president of manufacturing at Ascent Solar, said: “Eyelit’s experience and familiarity in thin-film PV manufacturing has been a big plus. Our implementation is progressing according to our plans and is on track to meet our go-live date at the end of the month. Eyelit’s manufacturing software is outstanding in price and quality.”
