Aurora Solar Technologies Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement with a strategic technology leader in solar cell manufacturing for their evaluation of the Company's initial version of the InsightTM data science product, called "Insight Essentials", for solar cell production yield optimization. Insight Essentials is the first of a planned series of Insight versions, focused on plant-wide yield (and quality control) visualization and reporting. Future versions of the product will integrate and add value to inline measurement systems such as Aurora's DM family of products, providing a fully integrated system for yield and quality control management in solar manufacturing. Aurora has designed its Insight platform using industry know-how along with novel proprietary algorithms and technology to evaluate the large volumes of data collected during solar cell fabrication. It evaluates these data to inform the manufacturer - in real time - how well its production equipment is performing, where problems may be occurring, or where yield or quality might be improved. As customers realize the value of the Insight Essentials, the Insight data science platform can be further developed to create additional value for customers that seek competitive advantage. The principal objectives of this evaluation project are to determine the yield management and quality control cost-saving potential of Insight Essentials, and to quantify the business case for its use as a subscription-based product in a high-volume production environment. The project is expected to start during March 2021, will be for an initial period of 90 days, and is expected to fully complete within 180 days.
