CdTe and CuInSe2 based modules have made the transition from pilot scale development to large manufacturing facilities. Production of CdTe modules has validated the cost reduction associated with the high throughput manufacturing process in plants exceeding 100 MW. Similar to development of crystalline Si modules, the next challenges are to improve the performance and processing of the modules....

Large sets of multivariate measurement data are now routinely available through automated in-process measurement in many manufacturing industries. These data typically contain valuable information regarding the nature of each major source of process variability. In this article we assume that each variation source causes a distinct spatial variation pattern in the measurement data. The model th...

In an RFID-enabled enterprise manufacturing system, diverse RFID devices and varying RFID data formats exist as a result of dynamically changing business operations, varying needs at different physical asset touch points/conditions, etc. This presents a significant challenge in device deployment, device control, RFID data capturing, RFID data integration – that are essential stacks within enter...
