Hine’s Custom Configuration Enables OEMs to Bring New Technologies to Market Faster

Hine’s versatile robotic components and automation systems can be utilized in hundreds of technological applications, allowing for faster development times. When competing against multiple research and commercial groups who are all in the race to create and patent new technology and bring it to market, speed is a top priority. Hine’s robotic products are an essential part of the engine that expedites development.

With increased interest in alternative energy sources, many inspiring advances in the solar cell space continue to grow, making the time it takes to get that innovation to market critical. Angstrom Engineering is doing exciting work with the use of Hine Automation equipment.

The Hine Automation-Angstrom Engineering partnership enables several Angstrom customers to advance their research and development of novel solar cells. A great deal of promise exists in the potential of solution-processed perovskite materials, a non-silicon-based solar technology. Perovskite solar cells exhibit excellent absorption of solar photons and can be made thinner and lighter than silicon solar cells while maintaining competitive power conversion efficiencies.

Solution-processed solar cell devices are fabricated via the deposition of sequential thin film conductor or semiconductor materials. Human handling of these compounds may introduce additional impurities that may be detrimental to optoelectronic device performance.

Using Hine’s fully mechanized, robotic device encapsulation system in conjunction with Angstrom Engineering’s high vacuum deposition chambers allows controlled manipulation of the materials in high vacuum or inert environments. As a result, the risk of device damage through human error is fully eliminated through automated processes.

Hine Automation has significant experience working with some of the most innovative minds around the globe and has proven its ability to provide fully functional and customized solutions to support OEM equipment. Hine’s solutions are powerful enough to manage any need out of the box, yet still customizable to address specific business requirements.
