Camstar’s SolarSuite, configured for the Solar industry on the Camstar Enterprise Platform, is helping Canadian Solar reduce cell and panel cost per watt and create a more effective manufacturing process environment.


 
Canadian Solar is a vertically integrated provider of ingots, wafers, solar cells, and solar modules. The company has selected the solution for deployment in its two manufacturing sites in Jiangsu Province, China. These two sites are - cell manufacturing site in Suzhou and module manufacturing site in Changshu.
 
Canadian Solar aims to improve its processes and methods to create optimal efficiency and deliver top quality, said Dacheng Fang, VP of Business Integration at Canadian Solar.
 
Fang hopes this platform will bring many positive changes in the company including improvement in manufacturing control, visibility and traceability of cell and module processes and materials, and consistent application of operational standards.
 
Benny Zhang, Corporate IT director for Canadian Solar pointed out that importance of standardizing on one platform for both cell and module production and believes it is key to support growth.
 
According to Zhang, Canadian Solar was also impressed by Camstar’s successful deployment track record and customer satisfaction levels when searching for other vendors in the market.
 
Camstar also notes Rong L Chen, acting president of SEMI China. He explained that a comprehensive platform for manufacturing execution and quality enables gathering and analysis of volumes of data. This capability helps users to quickly optimize yields and reduce unit costs, which has become very important for technological innovation and competitive advantage.
 
“As the Solar industry races to bring innovative products to market, we are seeing rapid adoption of Camstar’s solutions,” said Manash Chakraborty, general manager of Camstar for the Asia Pacific region. “The leaders, like Canadian Solar, know that to win the cost per watt battle and grow, they need technology to support continuous product and process improvement.”
