OLED- and OPV-technology together for an innovative façade module prototype
The manufacturing of individually designed organic light-emitting diodes and solar cells and their combination can be realized in the near future. The European project ManuCloud (distributed Cloud product specification and supply chain manufacturing execution infrastructure) successfully experimented this approach. As result the project partners Heliatek, Fraunhofer COMEDD, Tridonic Dresden and GSS Gebäude-Solarsysteme GmbH presented a demonstrator of a façade module, which combines the OLED- and OPV-technology.
The objective of the ManuCloud project was the development of a service-oriented IT environment as basis for the next level of manufacturing networks by enabling production-related inter-enterprise integration down to shop floor level. Industrial relevance was guaranteed by involving industrial partners from the organic photovoltaic, organic lighting and automotive supply industries.
