Support consistent production, improve workflow visibility, and reduce process bottlenecks with tools designed specifically for specialty lens laboratories.
FocalPoints connects production steps through one consistent data flow, helping your lab launch jobs faster, reduce manual handling, and maintain full visibility from cutting to packaging.
LAUNCH JOBS WITH THE RIGHT DATA
Each job is prepared once with the information needed for production
CONNECT LATHES AND EQUIPMENT
Barcode workflows link machines to the correct job without manual input
TRACK PRODUCTION IN REAL TIME
FocalPoints records production events, rejects, and re-cuts
MAINTAIN TRACEABILITY THROUGH DELIVERY
Manufacturing, labeling, packaging, and shipping stay connected in one system
Does it work with FP? It does.
FocalPoints connects lathes, autoloaders, lasers and inspection systems directly with the production workflow, keeping jobs, equipment and manufacturing data working together.
FocalPoints uses a single-input architecture to connect production through one consistent data flow. Each job is entered once and shared across manufacturing, inspection, packaging, and traceability, reducing duplication and errors. A barcode-driven structure links lathes and instruments to a centralized database so every department works from the same controlled information. The result is greater efficiency, stronger data integrity, and a streamlined workflow that adapts to each lab while maintaining full control and visibility.
The Launch in Production module prepares each job for manufacturing by generating the lens-cutting file and organizing the information needed to start production, including work orders, material batches and tray assignments. Production queues can then be prioritized by urgency, rejects, materials, lens design, categories and other operational criteria.
Machines are better when they work together.
A lathe, autoloader, inspection system or laser can improve one step. FocalPoints connects those steps into one manufacturing workflow, so production data moves with the job instead of being rebuilt at every machine.
The FocalPoints Workshop Full Traceability module captures all data logged by FP programs throughout manufacturing. Access the complete history of each lens, from production to shipping, via a single interface. Each task is time-stamped and linked to the operator. Centralized data storage not only cuts archiving costs but also accelerates data retrieval.
PACKAGING MANAGEMENT
The Packaging Management module extends FocalPoints beyond labeling, offering full control over the entire packaging workflow. From labels and boxes to UDIs, IFUs, BoMs, and Certificates of Conformity, everything is managed in one unified environment. Packaging elements can be configured using powerful rule-based filters, helping ensure each product follows the appropriate packaging requirements for its destination while supporting controlled and consistent workflows.
LABEL MANAGEMENT
The Label Management module allows FocalPoints to streamline the printing process: from case labels to shipping labels. Everything is handled with great flexibility and full integration in an easy to use graphical interface. Labels can be designed from scratch, adding fixed text, variable text, images, logos and any order/lens parameter.
MFG LIVE DASHBOARD
The Manufacturing Live Dashboard is available as an option for Workshop editions only, providing an interactive interface for analysing production in real time, making informed decisions. The dashboard is automatically updated and provides instant access to manufacturing for identifying production patterns, trends and potential issues before they even happen.
LASER ENGRAVING
The Laser Engraving Module provides an intuitive visual environment for the precise placement of text, lines, and images. It offers comprehensive control over various aspects, ensuring both ease of use and adaptability. Upon finalizing the desired layout and parameters, the information is seamlessly transmitted to the Lathe's laser engraver for execution, streamlining the engraving process with efficiency and precision.
AUTOLOADER MODULE
The Autoloader Module is an advanced tray management system for DAC, OPTOFORM, REM lathes which can be added to any FocalPoints system. It is fully integrated and it ensures substantial improvements in the manufacturing efficiency. The Autoloader Module keeps track on which tray each job is associated and allows the Operator to select a job by simply scanning the tray and selecting the physical position of the lens.
POWERMAP COMPARISON
The Powermap Comparison Engine (PCE), now integrated with Lambda-X NIMO and with the Optocraft cito+prio, offers a sophisticated approach to evaluating contact lens designs. By comparing theoretical and actual power maps, the PCE ensures precision and quality in lens production.
CYCLE'S MANAGEMENT
The Cycles' Management module allows the Lab to record in the lens history the details of additional operations like Hydration, Plasma treatment, Hydra-PEG™ coating and Sterilisation. The module tracks the cycle number, the tray position, the machine id, the cycle's runtime, time-stamp and the list of lenses processed together.
CONFORMING ARBOUR
The Conforming Arbour is used to cut an Arbour which mirrors the geometry of a CL base curve, taking into account also the wax thickness. The Arbour can either be symmetric, matching the steepest meridian, or fully asymmetric, following precisely the lens’ surface.
EQUIPMENT MANAGER
The Equipment Manager can manage the Lab's instruments registry. FocalPoints can record in the Lens history any measurement coming from all the Lab's instruments, may they be interfaced with FP or not. In the latter case the User will just need to input the data manually.
PSC 2.0 PRODUCTION DB
The PSC 2.0 is the evolution of the FocalPoints production database. The PSC 2.0 was rewritten from the ground up to increase operational efficiency, further advancing the Jobs' pick-up speed and improve reliability.
