Aurora Receives Purchase Order for Decima CD(TM) and Benchmarking Services in Asia

ACT Aurora Control Technologies Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ACU) is pleased to announce
that it has received a purchase order from a leading solar cell manufacturer in
Asia for its Decima CD(TM) inline measurement system. This order was achieved in
close cooperation with Aurora's market partner, Hauman Technologies Corp, and
will provide a valuable reference installation for the Decima.


Aurora's Decima CD is designed to continuously measure the output of one of the
most important steps in cell fabrication - the emitter diffusion process. This
step creates the atomic layer in a cell that allows light to be converted into
electrical charge, and it also plays a crucial role in the outcome of the
fabrication of the cell's metal contacts.


The photovoltaic manufacturing equipment industry, of which measurement and
control is a subset, was $1.7 billion last year and is forecast to reach up to
$10 billion by 2017. Asia dominates the market for manufacturing equipment, with
industry analysts projecting more than 80 percent of solar module production
coming from the region in 2014.


This Asian purchase order, with follow-on potential for several more systems,
also includes services from Aurora for assessment and optimization of this
customer's use of the Decima CD.


"Use of our Decima CD product and services allows manufacturers to reduce or
eliminate the production of faulty or sub-par cells through production process
optimization and inline control, and this goes directly to their bottom line,"
said Gordon Deans, Aurora's President & CEO. "Most cell manufacturers operate on
razor-thin margins, so any improvement in the yield of high-quality cells can
make a significant impact on their profitability."


"Our solar cell manufacturing customers are very quality and profitability
conscious," said Allan Lin, VP Semiconductor Division at Hauman. "We are excited
to receive this lead order for Aurora's Decima CD, which validates the product
and opens the doors for further business in Asia."
