ACT Aurora Control Technologies Provides Operational Update
2013 a foundation year as the company readies for anticipated
photovoltaic market upswing
NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2013)
- ACT Aurora Control Technologies Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:ACU)
("Aurora"), a leader in inline measurement and control technology
for the photovoltaic manufacturing industry is pleased to provide a
year-end overview and operational update.
The $80 billion
photovoltaic industry is now emerging from a two-year period of
restructuring due to excess production capacity. During this
period, investments in production equipment declined dramatically.
Despite this challenging environment, in 2013 Aurora made great
strides. The company's first product, the Decima CD ™ was
successfully completed and tested by an industry leader, and the
company built visibility and strong market positioning for
commercial development. Industry analysts are now projecting that
2014 will be a growth year for photovoltaic production equipment
suppliers. With our investments during 2013, Aurora is well
positioned to benefit as we look ahead.
Significant
highlights for 2013 include:
- Completed the Decima CD inline measurement product. The Decima
CD is an industry first, using our patent-pending technology to
rapidly and accurately measure a solar cell's critical quality
parameters in the presence of production line noise and
variations.
- Achieved CE certification for the Decima CD.
- Completed successful testing of the Decima CD, and achieved
qualification as a supplier, by a top-tier solar cell and module
manufacturer, Hanwha Q CELLS.
- Advanced our research and development on expanded Decima
measurement technology and applications, in cooperation with
industry partners and ISC Konstanz.
- Aurora's Decima technology was successfully used in industrial
research presented by ISC Konstanz at the prestigious EU PVSEC
conference in September.
- Established a global market partnership with Jonas &
Redmann, a pre-eminent German mechanical engineering company that
has built and installed production line automation for solar energy
manufacturers worldwide.
- SEMI's PV Group, the pre-eminent global industry association
for photovoltaic equipment and product manufacturers invited Aurora
to present at the "PV Fab Managers Forum", their flagship annual
event for manufacturing executives. As a result of this, Aurora
established a visible role in the body that defines and publishes
the annual "roadmap" for manufacturing technology and processes in
the industry.
- Established a market partnership for China with SIBCO, a
company that engineers and commissions production line technology
for solar energy and semiconductor manufacturers, including some of
the largest manufacturers in the industry.
In summary, over the
past year Aurora has made significant progress in establishing its
capabilities during a turbulent time for the solar energy industry.
We have completed our flagship product and proven it at one of the
solar industry's leaders, developed strong partnerships with
complementary production equipment and engineering companies to
broaden our market reach, and built the company's visibility such
that we are now invited to participate in setting industry
directions. With all of this as a basis, and with the industry now
regaining balance after a period of restructuring, we are
well-positioned in the photovoltaic market as we look forward into
2014.
