It intends to produce economic\nbenefits for both manufacturers and equipment suppliers. On the one hand the\nstandard is expected to release PV manufacturers from the burden to specify the\ninterface with each equipment supplier and to facilitate an increased level of\nfunctionality across all manufacturing equipment. On the other hand, it will\nreduce the effort equipment suppliers currently have to spend to develop and\nmaintain a variety of equipment interfaces. Altogether, it is expected to\nreduce both costs and time required for the ramp-up of new production lines and\nthus supports the industry’s ability to grow.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:\n\"Arial\",sans-serif'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:\n\"Arial\",sans-serif'\u003eThis Guide references a collection of SEMI and other\nstandards, and gives hints how to apply them in PV manufacturing environment in\norder to establish a reliable and extensible framework for the IT integration\nof equipment.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:\n\"Arial\",sans-serif'\u003eThis Guide for PV equipment communication interfaces\napplies to equipment used in PV manufacturing lines; independent of the base\ntechnology used (such as crystalline or thin film).
