🔎 From perceived quality to objective quality Perceived quality is based on customers' judgment, often subjective, leading to frequent debates between customers and suppliers over visual non-conformities. At V-OPTICS, we have seen how shifting from perceived quality to objective quality can transform production processes. Objective quality relies on measurable criteria, eliminating uncertainties and ensuring consistent and reliable defect detection. But achieving this transformation is no small feat. Automating defect detection comes with its own set of challenges and prerequisites: ✅ Define the conformity criteria. Precisely determine what makes a part acceptable or not. Clear definitions are essential for automation to be effective. ✅ Assess the repeatability, reproducibility and consistency between operators and referents. ✅ Set new objectives and associated performance indicators (KPIs), such as reducing over-quality and achieving "zero returns" from customers. Once these foundations have been laid, our experience shows that it becomes possible to successfully roll out an automated inspection tool. By reducing or even eliminating uncertainties, this tool paves the way towards a "right quality" model—striking the balance between over-quality and under-quality. This minimizes the high costs associated with scraps (over-quality) and customer returns or complaints (under-quality), helping manufacturers achieve reliable and consistent results.

📦 Behind the scenes at V-OPTICS 📦 Exciting milestone! We are shipping a new QualiLENS® 100 machine to China for an application in the intraocular lenses (IOL) sector. This brings the total to four QualiLENS® units deployed in China, supporting the ophthalmic industry with automated cosmetic inspection solutions. Each QualiLENS® machine represents a step forward in helping manufacturers upgrade their defect detection with automated inspection. While ophthalmics remains our historical sector, our solutions are designed for any industry where surface defects impact product quality and reliability—from precision optics and sapphire glass to automotive and aerospace. Stay tuned as V-OPTICS continues expanding into new markets, delivering zero-defect quality to industries where quality, traceability and even the slightest defect matter.

🌐 Automated inspection: a game changer in the ophthalmic industry. What’s next? V-OPTICS is steadily making its mark in ophthalmics, our historical sector, by automating quality control for intraocular lenses (IOL), contact lenses and spectacle lenses. Leading manufacturers in this field have already adopted our technology, a testament to its reliability. We are also exploring new applications. For instance, sapphire watch glass manufacturers now rely on V-OPTICS to upgrade their cosmetic inspection processes. Wherever surface defects can impact product quality and reliability, our solutions offer valuable support. From precision optics to sapphire and ceramic glass, automotive to aerospace – industries where quality and precision are key. 🎌To reach more manufacturers facing these defect detection issues, we’re also turning towards Asian markets. From November 4th to 14th, Dominique Bonnisseau, PhD is representing us in Japan to introduce our solutions to manufacturers in precision optics, sapphire glass and advanced ceramics. Let's connect and explore how V-OPTICS can support your production challenges. V-OPTICS, your partner for zero-defect!
