This document discusses process visibility and optimization in the solar PV value chain. It introduces Prediktor, a company that provides consulting services and industrial IT solutions to optimize manufacturing processes. Prediktor helps solar PV manufacturers reduce costs, improve quality, and increase throughput by integrating machine data, providing analytical tools, and consulting on process optimization. The document outlines challenges manufacturers face without effective data collection and analysis systems, and how Prediktor's solutions can help provide real-time visibility into production data to identify and address issues.

1. Agenda Process visibility and PV value chain optimization 27. May 2010 Henrik Hassel Managing Director, Prediktor China

3. Improve quality

4. Increase throughputGoal: more solar energy at continuously lower costs!

6. What is the root-cause behind this?

7. How can we find out as fast as possible?

8. What corrective actions do we need to take?

9. All wafers come from bricks produced in line #3, furnace #2

10. This furnace has high deviation in energy consumption

11. Production is stopped, maintenance checks furnace #2

12. Gas leakage identified and fixed

13. Problem solved, production resumes as normal#2

14. Brick position of defect wafer The entire production history of each produced unit is documented and can be analyzed.

15. 硅片 wafer Savings .... The time it takes to: discover that a problem exists identify the root-cause of that problem find a solution and implement it Key questions to ask: what is the production capacity per hour? how large proportion of that capacity was affected? what is the difference in market value for the product? Savings depends on many variables unique to individual manufacturers A thorough investigation must be undertaken before credible assumptions and estimates can be made

16. Flow of information corporate management communication communication production management flow of material flow of material plant floor

18. Flow of information, comparison Corporate management Real-time prediction about future based on facts about the past, knowledge and experience Real-time running average available at all levels Production management Periodic average is insufficient and available too late Operational Year Week Day Second Quarter Month Present Future - Prediction Past- History

19. Solutions and services Machine integration 设备自动化 数据集成 Analytical tools 工艺分析方案 Industrial IT tools 工业制造方案 Consulting services 工艺分析优化 顾问服务 Spektron NIR 先进分析仪器

21. 提供咨询服务和工业IT来优化生产工艺
