"Anyone who wears glasses is somehow a cyborg!" That's what Evgeny Morozov, publicist and digital thinker, claims. And he's right about the technology inside a cyborg, because there's a lot of high-tech and AI inside glasses, too:

• Customization: AI calculates the perfect shape and curvature of the lenses so you can see the world in HD again.
• Precision manufacturing: During manufacturing, AI systems monitor the lens grinding process, minimizing errors and ensuring the highest quality.

But that's just the beginning! Good AI is like a good pair of glasses: it gives you perspective!

And transparency is the starting point for eyewear manufacturers to optimize the entire value chain. Based on huge amounts of data, AI analyzes all supply chain processes:

• Sales planning,
• Manufacturing
• Workforce deployment
• Logistics

AI helps answer critical questions:

• How many jars are needed where?
• What materials need to be ordered and when?
• In what order will what be produced?
• Are there enough people and resources available?
• How and when will the finished glasses be transported to the retailer?

Decision-intelligent software such as that developed by INFORM provides the basis for this. Our AI optimizes supply chains, improves planning and helps companies make the right decisions every time.

"If you think about what a pair of glasses is, they are the ultimate example of form following function," says Neil Blumenthal, CEO of eyewear company Warby Parker. The same goes for good AI-based process optimization software!
