FocalPoints supports specialty contact lens laboratories at different stages of their development: from connecting established production to scaling capacity, strengthening control, and expanding into new business opportunities.
MORE THAN JUST COMPATIBILITY
An integration is a technical connection. A partnership is the work behind it: understanding a real need, combining expertise, validating the complete workflow, and continuing to improve it after launch. The Integrations page shows the systems that connect with FocalPoints. This page shows how Advance works with the organizations behind those systems and with laboratories, material companies, and industry groups to create lasting value for specialty lens manufacturers.
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Our collaboration with leading equipment manufacturers connects precision lathes, autoloaders, and laser engraving systems directly with FocalPoints. These integrations reduce manual setup, improve data consistency, and support efficient, scalable production within one connected manufacturing workflow.
FocalPoints has supported Optoform lathes since 1997, with native integration for manufacturing, automated loading, and laser engraving.
DAC lathes have integrated with FocalPoints since 1997, connecting precision manufacturing with automated loading and laser engraving.
Introduced in 2022, REM VT integration connects FocalPoints with lathe manufacturing, automated loading, and laser engraving.
Introduced in 2022, Schneider OM integration supports lathe manufacturing and laser engraving, with autoloading coming next.
