BrightSpot can help you with cell/panel inspection and durability challenges

In-house testing

EL, PL, and UVF testing of cells/panels before, during, after stress exposure to aid process/product development, vendor selection, marketing materials development, root cause of defect analysis, and defect risk analysis. Conference calls to discuss reports.

Image Enhancement & Analysis

Contrast/brightness adjustment, perspective distortion correction, cropping, defect quantification and grading, root cause assessment, and risk assessment reports

QC Program Development

Definition of defect categories, grading, testing procedures, product specifications and more.

Root Cause and Risk Assessments

When the panel manufacturer, system owner, insurer, installer, and testing companies are all pointing their fingers at each other, we can act as a neutral party to analyze the data and assess the likely root causes of defects and the level of risk that they pose

IMPEL Software Customization

Our software engineers are ready to customize IMPEL for your applications in areas such as PLC handshaking, enterprise software integration, quantitative analysis, data management, and GUI interface screens.
