Custom applications through API – NIMO TEMPO

Remote instrument configuration
The API allows production and QA management to set, edit and control system parameters of all the instruments (calibration data, user management, instrument’s references, etc.).

Template management
Shop floor management can create, edit and lock measurement templates (set of options for IOL measurements, tolerances, report generation, etc.) for the entire network of Lambda-X instruments used on-site as well as in distant locations.
This function is key to build an integral shop floor control system.

Production automation
The API opens the doors to the automation of measurements by controlling the sequence of operations, such as:

• taking an optical reference,
• ordering the robotic arm to place the lens into the instrument,
• measuring the IOL,
• signaling measurement completion.

In short, the API makes it easy and convenient to interface with robots of any type. Upstream and downstream of NIMO TEMPO^®, it exploits its unique measurement speed: the acquisition time of any type of diffractive IOLs is 3’’, allowing handling operations to be managed in masked time while NIMO TEMPO^® fully characterizes the lens, which takes 17 to 27’’ after acquisition.
This feature is essential to build a complete shop floor control system.

Data collection
The API allows the retrieval of all measurement data from NIMO TEMPO^® database in real time, as well as the transmission and processing of the data in the customer’s applications (lens registration, QA conformity, trend analysis, ERP, etc.).
This function is key to build an integral shop floor control system.
