Meet OptiCal: The Future of Automated Calibration
OptiCal is a breakthrough, metrology-grade, AI-powered image analysis technology that reshapes what’s possible in calibration automation. Embedded within MET/CAL, OptiCal eliminates manual data entry, accelerates workflows, and brings full automation to tasks long considered impossible to automate.
AI That Reads Your Instruments Instantly
OptiCal captures measurement readings from any digital or analog display using any webcam using an API-based architecture for image analysis. No special cameras. No precise positioning. No device-specific setup. Just place your tool in view of your webcam and OptiCal extracts the reading automatically. This means faster measurements vs. manual reading, less rework, fewer errors, and increased throughput.
True Hands‑Free Calibration
Run procedures without touching a keyboard:
- Capture readings automatically in real time
- Keep your gloves on and your workflow uninterrupted
- Replace manual observation with digital vision and algorithmic interpretation
- Reduce human interpretation variability
- Create traceable visual evidence to support audit trails with stored images
Automation for What Used to Be “Non‑Automatable”
OptiCal brings automation to previously manual, error‑prone tasks. Measurements that once required careful hand positioning and manual input now integrate seamlessly into digital workflows, making them faster, cleaner, and more reliable. You're also able to analyze captured images against expected values and add annotations, while also having manual override capability.
Ready for Anything. Built to Grow.
OptiCal’s metrology-grade AI models are trained to recognize displays across a wide range of instruments, requiring no customization needed when you switch devices. Upcoming enhancements include expanded support for analog gauges, dial thermometers, and more, continually expanding what your lab can automate.
