Production
HELIENE’s manufacturing line was made and assembled in-house by HELIENE Europe’s sister company, Sistemas de Automatizacion de Procesos (SAP). The experience accumulated in the Spanish plant of HELIENE was capitalized upon to improve the flexibility of the equipment installed in our Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario facility.
The line is 80 percent automated, which ensures consistent product quality as minimal personnel is required to operate the entire manufacturing line for every shift of operation. Also, the entire line is computer controlled, and is managed from a system of touch screen panels. This allows for manufacturing information and process parameters long-term storage, which enables 100 percent final product traceability. Our Ontario plant was developed with a spacious cell-welding area to produce modules of up to 96 cells (400 Wp, 2 m x 1.35 m in size).
