Foceon / Platform
One layer over every machine in the fab
Foceon is not a machine and not a point tool. It is the operations layer that reads your optics, predicts where they are heading, simulates the next move, and acts across grinding, coating, centering, inspection, handling, and yield.
Perceive, predict, simulate, act
Every agent shares one loop and one picture of each optic. That is what lets a recipe proven on one cell travel to the next.

Select an agent to see what it controls
Seven agents, one process language. Each owns a physical step and shares state with the rest.
Not seven tools. One system.
One surface picture
Every agent reads and writes the same current state of each optic, so nothing works from stale data.
Recipes that travel
A recipe expressed as physics moves between parts, tools, and lines instead of being re-learned each time.
Simulate first
Moves are validated in the optics digital twin before any machine acts on glass.
Safe by design
Agents advise before they act and operate inside hard interlocks with a full audit trail.
The same loop, seven physical steps
The platform is one architecture applied to the seven hardest steps in the fab.
Perception across instruments
Interferometry, profilometry, and vision feed one model of each optic, so the fab sees the surface the same way everywhere.
- Interferometry and profilometry
- Machine vision for defects
- One fused surface state
Action across machines
The platform actuates grinders, coaters, centering stations, and robots through the interfaces you already run.
- Existing machine interfaces
- Coordinated setpoints
- No rip-and-replace
What the layer delivers
The twin sits inside the loop
Because the optics digital twin runs on accelerated compute, it is fast enough to validate the next move in real time, not in a research notebook.
Land on one cell, expand across the line
Instrument
Connect Foceon to one cell and its metrology without disrupting production.
Calibrate
Fit the twin to your glass, tools, and recipes.
Actuate
Hand agents bounded control once predictions hold.
Expand
Roll the same agents to the next step and the next line.
Platform, not point automation
| Capability | Point automation | Foceon platform |
|---|---|---|
| Shared surface state | No | Yes |
| Cross-step recipes | No | Yes |
| Physics-grade twin | No | Yes |
| Fab-wide yield | No | Yes |
| Runs on your machines | Vendor lock | Yes |
Accelerated compute, edge to cloud
The platform runs on NVIDIA's stack so perception, prediction, and simulation close the loop on the floor.
How the platform fits your fab
Do agents work standalone?
Yes. Each delivers value alone and more together through shared state.
Can we start small?
A single cell is the standard entry point, then you expand.
Where does our data live?
On-prem or air-gapped. Your recipes and metrology never leave.
