Challenge
Challenge
Progressive-lens throughput varied by day due to unpredictable coater setups and inconsistent scheduling. OEE stalled below 62%.
Solution
Solution
MES + IoT streamed machine telemetry into JDOptix. RL-based scheduler compresses changeovers and reroutes at-risk batches automatically.
Outcome
Outcome
Cycle time compressed 41%. OEE lifted 18 points. Copilot recovers ≈62 minutes on average per bottleneck event.

“The AI copilot silently reroutes jobs when a machine is about to bottleneck. It feels like adding a senior floor manager.”
