Web-Based Monitoring

We design and implement web-based database systems for automated monitoring and control of manufacturing equipment and scientific instruments.

As one of our clients in photovoltaics integrated new equipment into their solar cell line, they needed a database that could log data from several different machines and store it in a common database. Existing MES systems were expensive, required ongoing licensing fees and couldn't handle custom equipment.

GreenMountain built a web-based system that communicated with the various machines and requested data, enabling their scientists to view manufacturing data in realtime and export historical data for analysis in ancillary programs.

As they add new machines to their manufacturing line, our flexible, standards-based architecture allows them to compare results from machines from different manufacturers. Our entire software stack, beyond the code we wrote, is free and open source, forming an excellent basis for our client's future expansion.
