Understand the layer before you deploy it

Briefings and guides on how autonomous operations work in a precision-optics fab, from the control loop to the standards your quality team lives by.

Guides

Start with the fundamentals

Loop

The control loop

How perceive, predict, simulate, and act close on the shop floor.

Twin

The optics digital twin

Why simulating before cutting glass changes fab economics.

Agents

The agent fleet

What each of the seven agents owns and controls.

Deploy

Deployment guide

How a pilot cell becomes a fab-wide deployment.

Read the loop in one picture

The clearest way to understand Foceon is to watch a surface converge.

A surface converging toward figure spec

A surface, converging

Each pass is planned against a predicted surface, so figure error shrinks toward spec instead of oscillating. This is the whole thesis in one image.

  • Predicted then verified
  • Monotonic convergence
  • Fewer iterations
A coating spectrum landing on target

A spectrum, landing

A coating stack simulated as it grows lands on its designed reflectance when the chamber opens.

  • Endpoint controlled
  • Held in the run
  • On target at open
Deployment guide

The path to autonomy, in four moves

  1. Instrument a cell

    Connect Foceon to one cell and its metrology.

  2. Calibrate the twin

    Fit predictions to your optics and tools.

  3. Move to action

    Hand agents bounded control once predictions hold.

  4. Expand the fleet

    Roll agents across steps and lines.

Pilot readiness

Before a pilot, gather

  • A representative optic and its spec
  • The cell and tools you want to prove
  • Access to your metrology reads
  • A quality standard to grade against
  • An operator champion on the floor
  • An economic owner watching yield

Questions

Resource questions

Can we get a briefing?

Yes. We run briefings for engineering, quality, and operations teams.

Do you share benchmarks?

We measure on your optics during a pilot rather than quoting generic numbers.

Where do I start?

The platform and digital-twin pages, then a pilot conversation.

The fastest way to understand autonomous figuring is to watch one surface converge on your own bench.
