Manufacturing yields and OEE
{"Image DocumentName": "Manufacturing yields and OEE", "Image ImageDescription": "Centrotherm C-Si Flexline. Innovations focus. Defining equipment layout for optimized line performance. Value engineering in equipment /automation for delivering high yields. Yield management by process and machine interactions. PV manufacturing lines are less complicated than semiconductor manufacturing lines. However they pose significant challenges in terms of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and yield. Present trend lies in standardized manufacturing solutions or turnkey lines sold by big equipment manufacturers (eg. Schmid, Centrotherm, Roth and Rau) Yield and OEE continue to be dominant factors for established technologies like C-Si. For technologies like CIGS, a-Si, or CdTe, these parameters ultimately determine whether the technology is viable in volume manufacturing. 1% improvement in yield and 1% improvement of OEE on a 100 MW Cr-Si manufacturing line is equivalent to generating  4Mn/yr of revenue.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
