Description

Polaris-M is an advanced software for optical design and polarization analysis, created by Airy Optics, Inc., that seamlessly merges ray tracing techniques with polarization mathematics, enabling 3D simulations, handling of anisotropic materials, and diffractive optics. This software, which has its roots in over ten years of research at the University of Arizona's Polarization Laboratory before being licensed to Airy Optics in 2016, boasts a vast library of more than 500 functions tailored for various optical tasks, including ray tracing, aberration evaluation, and the manipulation of polarizing elements and diffractive optics. To run Polaris-M, users must have Mathematica, which provides an extensive macro language and robust algorithms for tasks such as graphics rendering, computer algebra, interpolation, neural network functions, and numerical analysis. Comprehensive documentation accompanies the software, featuring accessible help pages that can be activated with the F1 key, guiding users through explanations, inputs, outputs, and practical examples. The user experience is further enhanced by this rich repository of resources, ensuring that users can effectively navigate and utilize the software's extensive capabilities.

Description

The Polaris software suite by iFAKT is a cutting-edge platform designed for process optimization and planning within the realm of Industry 4.0, enabling organizations to enhance transparency and consistently boost operational performance through the digitization of value streams, production flow simulations, and the application of intelligent algorithms that utilize APIs, machine learning, and process-mining methods for immediate decision-making and feedback mechanisms. This comprehensive suite integrates various modules, including advanced planning and scheduling, digital value stream mapping (Polaris VSM), business process modeling (Polaris BSM), and intelligent production control, allowing teams to collaboratively map processes in the cloud, dynamically calculate KPIs, simulate different scenarios to identify potential bottlenecks, and optimize the entire value chain. Furthermore, users can create digital twins of their products, processes, and resources while leveraging predefined reports to thoroughly analyze performance metrics, thus facilitating strategic improvements and informed decision-making. With Polaris, businesses are empowered to navigate the complexities of modern production environments effectively.
