Aurora Solar Technologies Inc. (ACU) has provided an update on its InsightTM data science product and related initiatives

Aurora Solar develops and delivers process control and yield management solutions for solar cell manufacturers.

Aurora Solar’s initial evaluation of its Insight Essentials product is now complete.

Insight Essentials is the first of a planned series focused on plant-wide yield, visualization, and reporting. 

Future versions of the product will integrate inline measurement systems providing a fully integrated system for yield and quality control management in solar manufacturing. 

It evaluates data to inform the manufacturer how well its production equipment is performing, where problems may be occurring, or where yield or quality might be improved.  

The product validation needs have been met, chiefly the project’s objective of progressing Insight Essentials for market readiness.

The project is underway and on track. Wafer tracking is about to be installed.

The Insight platform and use case evaluation period is expected to start in March.

Aurora is actively pursuing strategic opportunities to scale its measurement products business to enhance the value of Insight.

The focus of the initiative is to build the coverage and depth of process control capability for high-value Insight applications.

The most significant outcome was proof of reliability and accuracy of Insight’s capability known as ‘tool tracing’.

Tool tracing is the act of regularly collecting and processing solar cell production equipment performance.

Aurora’s analysis found that Insight’s tool tracing can consistently and significantly outperform the current methods being used at the initial production facility.

This result will now be built upon for broader application in its China-based project.

Aurora Solar Technologies Inc. (ACU) is down 9.52 per cent trading at $0.095 per share as of 2:58 p.m. EST.
