Modulo AI continuously monitors quality as well as processes in real-time and adjusts production parameters at the machine level but also across machines to unlock further optimization options. Process times, tool lifetimes, and consumable intervals can now be optimized dynamically. The AI actively steers your lab – enabling higher throughput, eliminating bottlenecks, and improving capacity utilization without adding headcount.

The next evolution in automated warehousing has been developed specifically for ophthalmics and is fully integrated in the Modulo world. The highly configurable system supports storage heights of up to six meters, enables simultaneous storage and retrieval operations for maximum throughput, and provides a scalable platform that grows seamlessly with production requirements.

SCHNEIDER’s hybrid linking technology offers a genuine alternative to traditional alloy blocking. It combines vacuum-based fixation with a flexible and adaptable base that ideally supports the lens during surfacing. The result is a simplified production workflow that reduces environmental impact. Importantly, it works with the greatest range of lenses and has been engineered for compatibility with existing production environments.

Introducing the latest evolution in all-in-one surfacing: Modulo Center ONE pro. Designed for maximum productivity in a remarkably compact footprint of just 8,5 m², the new system delivers up to 40% higher throughput. It combines super high-speed milling and lathe turning, two high-performance 4-spindle polishing units, a choice of advanced laser marking technologies, and a washing station into a single, highly automated surfacing center.

Revolution accomplished: What has been considered too physically complex and too sensitive to environmental variables, now is a reality: Our fully integrated inline coating solution incorporates hardcoating, curing, and AR–Coating in a fully automated inline process – the missing pieces of the fully autonomous lab. Part 1 comprises clip-loading and unloading, cleaning, hardcoating – entirely without manual steps or interruptions.

Part 2 continues with thermal curing, robot loading automation and multi-step AR-coating – now fully embedded within the automated production flow.
Modulo Inline Coating eliminates batching, transfer steps and the associated risk. Instead, labs benefit from a single, connected production chain all the way from blank to finished lens – a capability that redefines what a modern lens lab can look like.

Now, any lab – regardless of size or budget – can produce photochromic lenses with a straight forward, affordable solution. SCHNEIDER utilizes precision 3D inkjet technology to apply photochromic layers directly to lens surfaces. Instead of printing the entire lens blank, the system prints only the final lens shape, making the process resource-efficient and economically accessible. Labs can now simply produce photochromic lenses in-house.

Unprecedented edging: The next-generation high-performance edging system combines the highest throughput in its class with an exceptionally compact footprint. New capabilities, including Hydro-F technology for reliable processing of even super hydrophobic lenses, further expand production flexibility, while integrated quality control combines edging and inspection within a single platform.
