Software for eyeglass-lens manufacturing equipment
We built the operating screens and the lens explainer videos for the dedicated software inside eyeglass-lens manufacturing equipment. The task was helping opticians and floor operators understand, on screen, optical properties that are hard to put into words: functional lenses, progressive lenses, and how curvature differs from lens to lens. The equipment was widely installed in Korean optical shops and exported to some 40 countries, so the screens had to be easy to use on site and never stall. Our part covered the equipment status and lens information screens, the control screens running from input to guidance, and the 3D lens videos and animations.
An operating screen that puts machine status and lens data first
The operating screen of the lens manufacturing equipment is where floor operators check the machine's status and lens information and run the machine. The equipment photographs the wearer in the chosen frame and measures what a lens needs to fit: pupillary distance, the distance between eye and lens, and frame tilt. Because the screen is read in the middle of work, it is laid out so that the machine's current state and the lens being handled catch the eye first. The screen is part of the dedicated software built into the equipment, used by opticians and factory operators alike.
3D videos that show lens curvature words struggle to explain
Functional lenses, progressive lenses, and the different curvature of each lens are optical properties that are hard to convey in numbers or words. The equipment does more than take measurements: on the same screen it also serves as an explainer for differences in lens thickness and progressive lens design. We produced the 3D videos and animations that show these differences and placed them on the equipment's screens. Opticians and floor operators understand those properties by seeing the lens in three dimensions.
A control flow where input, status, and guidance run without a break
The equipment control screens connect entering values, checking the machine's status, and viewing guidance content into one flow. If those steps sit apart on separate screens, operators jump between them and lose track of where they are. We designed the screen flow so that input, status display, and guidance follow on naturally, in order, on the screens linked to the machine.
Export equipment at work in some 40 countries
This eyeglass-lens manufacturing equipment was widely adopted by Korean optical shops and exported to some 40 countries. Since the software runs inside equipment used on site in many countries, the screens were built against two tests: easy to use on site, and never stalling. Early in our founder's career, this was hands-on ownership of the core operating screens and visual content of an export product.
