VisionPro Solar Toolbox
Next-generation solar cell production demands world-class machine vision software for tougher inspections, faster line speeds, and full wafer-to-panel traceability. 

The new VisionPro® Solar Toolbox™ provides a set of eight preconfigured tools for the most common vision inspection applications in solar production including:
  • back print inspection,
  • back print registration,
  • color uniformity inspection,
  • crack detection,
  • edge chip detection,
  • front bus bar registration,
  • front finger trace inspection, and
  • pin hole detection.
For these, users can start with the preconfigured alignment and inspection tools in the new toolbox to help guide them through the setup process. For other applications, developers can rely on the advanced vision tools available in the VisionPro basic software library.
