Korvis Automation Pte Ltd, a Singapore company, has been awarded a grant from an enterprise development agency, SPRING Singapore. The grant, under the Technology Innovation Programme, was awarded to Korvis Automation Pte Ltd to develop a flexible conveyor system to enable the transportation of various sizes of glass, a key component in solar modules. This conveyor will be the key component of the Korvis Flexible Solar Module Assembly Line. This flexible conveyor system will adjust to glass sheets of any size and will deliver them to the various pieces of process equipment such as robotic cleaning stations, film cutting and transfer stations, solar cell string layup machines, in-process inspection stations, lamination presses, circuit formation stations, framing stations, and on to final packaging. The Korvis Flexible Conveyor will be designed to quickly and automatically change over from one size glass panel and module, to another size of glass panel and module.

Lim Chin Hui, Managing Director of Korvis Automation Pte Ltd, points out, "The development of this Korvis Flexible Conveyor System will give our customers the flexibility to run a variety of products through a single automated assembly line, rather than multiple dedicated assembly lines. This not only reduces their capital investment, but saves valuable floor space in their factories".
