Critical Manufacturing Showcases Next-Generation Manufacturing System cmNAVIGO at Solar Power International

Austin, TX - October 26, 2009

Critical Manufacturing, software solutions provider for the high-tech manufacturing solar, electronics and semiconductors industries, will demo its next-generation Web service for manufacturing operations management, cmNAVIGO, at Solar Power International. Providing the flexibility required by high-tech production processes, where information on material, processes, resources, containers and extent of utilization must be available at any time, cmNAVIGO is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that eliminates the need to continuously add programming or make changes for organizations who are focused on lowering their manufacturing costs.

cmNAVIGO introduces a Rich Internet Application (RIA) graphical user interface, a breakthrough for industrial environments, enabling full access to all rich-feature functions through a Web browser, removing the need for expensive and complex installations. cmNAVIGO’s multi-threaded responsive Web interface is accessible from the production line, the office, or anywhere else in the world. It allows changing a display language in run-time and has interactive, customizable and shareable working areas that include data-sets, actions, warnings, charts, images and video.

cmNAVIGO’s unique values to manufacturing businesses include:

- Advanced semiconductor and solar modeling

- Compelling user experience, through a unique rich Internet graphical user interface

- Unprecedented production line visibility

- Powerful object, interface and workflow extensibility

- World-class performance and low total cost of ownership (TCO)

- Seamless integration with ERP and any other application

- Flexible multi-site integration and migration capabilities

Built with the powerful Critical Manufacturing Foundation, cmNAVIGO goes beyond traditional manufacturing execution systems, encompassing a true integration and productivity framework, a graphical user interface and an analytics and manufacturing intelligence platform.

cmNAVIGO serves all levels of manufacturing stakeholders, including:

- Line personnel – with easy navigation and ergonomically designed for production operations

- Engineering staff – for complete monitoring of all manufacturing data, objects and areas

- Management – to get full visibility into the production, with reports for the required level.

The only known rich Internet manufacturing application for the aforementioned markets, cmNAVIGO is also being introduced at Semicon in Taiwan, Photovoltaics Taiwan and Semicon Europe.
