Plant & Operations Director
Owns throughput, scrap, and delivery. Foceon turns a fab of one-off recipes into a line with a real-time yield view.
- Higher first-pass yield
- Rework queued by value
- Capacity without more masters
Physical AI for precision-optics manufacturing
Every surface, perfectly figured.
Precision-optics fabs still run on tribal knowledge and one-off recipes. Foceon replaces the guesswork with a fleet of AI agents and a physics-grade optics digital twin, converging figure, coating, and yield to spec in fewer iterations.
- Convergence
- Fewer polish iterations
- Standards
- MIL-PRF-13830B · ISO 10110
- Deployment
- On-prem · air-gapped ready
The control loop
One loop runs the whole fab
Every Foceon agent shares a single closed loop. It reads the optic, predicts where the process is heading, simulates the next move against a digital twin, then acts on the machine.

The agents
Seven steps, one shared language
Grinding, metrology, coating, centering, inspection, handling, and yield. Each step owns one physical job and speaks the same process language. Select one to see what it controls.
The fleet
Six products, one closed loop
Each agent owns a step of the fab and shares the same runtime, data model, and customers. Land on one cell, then expand across the line.

From recipe roulette to deterministic figuring
The old fab optimizes a part at a time. Foceon optimizes the surface and the line together.
Polish that converges, not oscillates
Deterministic polishing lives or dies on the removal map. The Grind & Polish agent predicts material removal per pass and plans the dwell, so the surface walks toward figure instead of bouncing across it.
- PV and RMS converge in fewer iterations
- Dwell planned against predicted surface
- Recipes travel between parts and tools
Metrology that predicts, not just records
A measurement is only useful if it changes the next move. Figure & Metrology turns interferograms into a predicted surface and MTF, so the fab plans against where the optic is going.
- Wavefront RMS and irregularity in one read
- MTF predicted before final polish
- Every measurement feeds the twin
Why now
Physical AI finally meets the glass
Demand
Optics is the bottleneck
Every lidar, AR headset, satellite, and lithography tool needs more precision optics than the world can figure by hand.
Compute
Twins run in real time
Accelerated simulation makes a physics-grade optics twin fast enough to sit inside the control loop, not in a research notebook.
Labor
The masters are retiring
Decades of figuring intuition walk out the door every year. Foceon captures that judgment as models that stay in the fab.
Standards
Spec is unforgiving
Scratch-dig and irregularity tolerances leave no room for drift. Autonomy holds the line the way a tired operator cannot.

Optics digital twin
Simulate before you cut glass
The twin carries the optical prescription, the material, the tool, and the process physics. Foceon runs the next move in simulation first, so the machine only makes moves the twin already trusts.
How a pilot runs
A pilot cell in weeks, not quarters
Instrument one cell
We connect Foceon to one grinding, polishing, or coating cell and its metrology, reading data without disrupting production.
Calibrate the twin
The optics digital twin is fit to your glass, tools, and recipes until its predictions match your metrology.
Advise, then act
Agents start by advising operators. Once predictions hold, you hand them bounded, interlock-aware control.
Expand across the line
Proven on one cell, the same agents roll to the next step and the next line, carrying recipes with them.
Where Foceon fits
Not another machine. The layer above them.

Who runs Foceon
Built for the people who figure glass
Champion
Optics & Process Engineer
Owns the recipe. Foceon predicts the surface so engineering time goes to hard problems, not iteration roulette.
- Deterministic dwell planning
- Recipes that transfer
- Twin-backed experiments
Champion
Quality & Metrology Manager
Owns the spec. Foceon grades scratch-dig and irregularity inline and stops escapes before irreversible steps.
- MIL-PRF-13830B grading
- ISO 10110 irregularity
- Auditable dispositions
Built on accelerated compute
The physical-AI stack, in one layer
Foceon is engineered on NVIDIA's edge-to-cloud stack so perception, prediction, and simulation run fast enough to close the loop on the shop floor.

A fab does not need another machine that polishes glass. It needs a mind that knows where every surface is heading and what to do next.
Foceon operating thesis
Common questions
What operators ask first
Do I have to replace my machines?
No. Foceon is the layer above your existing grinders, polishers, and coaters. It reads your metrology and advises or actuates through the interfaces you already run.
How does it handle my proprietary recipes?
Your recipes and data stay yours, on-prem or air-gapped. Foceon learns your process; it does not export it.
What if the agents are wrong?
Agents advise before they act, operate inside hard interlocks, and every action is logged against the digital twin for review.
How fast is a first result?
A pilot cell is instrumented and advising in weeks. Actuation follows once predictions match your metrology.
