Charlotte,
NC, USA: Q-Cells Selects Camstar For New Malaysian Mega-Factory
Q-Cells
SE has selected Camstar’s SolarSuite™, configured for the Solar
industry on the Camstar Enterprise Platform, to drive down cost
per watt through improved process quality and cell efficiency.
Q-Cells will deploy the solution in two new production lines in
Bitterfeld-Thalheim, Germany, and in its new factory in Malaysia
where production will exceed 300MW (peak) by the end of 2010.
Q-Cells
selected SolarSuite over competing options for its strong “out-of-the-box”
functionality that is designed specifically for and widely used
by Camstar’s global customers in the Solar and Semiconductor industries.
In
addition, in Q-Cells’ environment of rapid process improvement
and frequent tool upgrades, the unique flexibility of Camstar’s
platform enables rapid adaptation, global control and change enforcement
– all critical to support Q-Cells’ growth and quality goals.
“We
are very pleased to be a strategic partner for Q-Cells as they
create the most modern, fully automated solar cell production
lines in the world,” said Robert Rudder, Senior Vice President
of Sales and Marketing for Camstar. “We have made significant
investment in our enterprise platform as a seamless foundation
for manufacturing execution, quality management, and manufacturing
intelligence. That technology is delivering the ability not only
to collect large volumes of data from automated tools, but to
quickly analyze and immediately act upon that data for process
improvement and increased equipment efficiency – driving real,
measurable quality improvements faster.”
