Apart from the actual manufacturing process, a variety of applications in the solar industry are also used to manufacture various end products, for example, poly-/mono-crystalline silicon and thinfilm-based PV modules as well as mirror and receiver glass for CSP applications. In addition to the equipment in the main production line, several different systems are used to manufacture these products during the actual production process. These frequently require additives and lubricants everything from raw chemical materials to purified water as well as airconditioning measures for the shop floor. As a result, many plants are often equipped with automation products from a variety of different manufacturers. Many plants require data from individual plant components to be forwarded and exchanged over long distances and beyond system networks. However, in many instances, this is only available at additional costs. Plants are frequently also interested in collecting and evaluating operating data of the individual steps of the value chain at a central location. This also poses a great challenge for automation environments that are not integrated. 2
