NCCAS assists optical labs with:

  • conveyor systems integration
  • installation
  • testing
  • commissioning
Our specialized conveyors and equipment are built to help optical labs control their product and improve OEE using the latest technology. We see the project through to the end to ensure that goal is met.

With more than 15 years’ experience focusing on improving performance in both new and existing optical labs, NCCAS has the knowledge, foresight, and project planning ability to take on your optical labs project, no matter the size.
