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.
Start with the fundamentals
The control loop
How perceive, predict, simulate, and act close on the shop floor.
The optics digital twin
Why simulating before cutting glass changes fab economics.
The agent fleet
What each of the seven agents owns and controls.
Deployment guide
How a pilot cell becomes a fab-wide deployment.
Precision-optics glossary
- PV / RMS
- Peak-to-valley and root-mean-square figure error.
- Scratch-dig
- Surface-quality grading per MIL-PRF-13830B.
- Irregularity
- Non-symmetric figure error graded by ISO 10110.
- MTF
- Modulation transfer function, the contrast an optic preserves.
- Deterministic polishing
- Sub-aperture polishing controlled by dwell.
- Wedge
- Angular error between an optic's two surfaces.
The standards Foceon grades to
| Standard | Covers | Foceon role |
|---|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-13830B | Scratch-dig surface quality | Inline grading |
| ISO 10110 | Optical drawings and imperfections | Irregularity and defects |
| Customer spec | Figure, MTF, coating | Predicted and verified |
Read the loop in one picture
The clearest way to understand Foceon is to watch a surface converge.
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 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
The path to autonomy, in four moves
Instrument a cell
Connect Foceon to one cell and its metrology.
Calibrate the twin
Fit predictions to your optics and tools.
Move to action
Hand agents bounded control once predictions hold.
Expand the fleet
Roll agents across steps and lines.
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

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.
