METHODS AND DEVICES FOR MANUFACTURING A PLURALITY OF OPTICAL LENSES

The present invention relates to a method (210) and a device (110) for manufacturing a plurality of optical lenses (112, 112', 112", 112‴), a method (230) and a device for providing data sets for the plurality of the optical lenses (112, 112', 112", 112‴) to at least one manufacturing machine (124, 124', 124"), and a corresponding computer program.Herein, the method (230) for providing the data sets for the plurality of the optical lenses (112, 112', 112", 112‴) comprises the following method steps:a) generating data sets for a plurality of optical lenses (112, 112', 112", 112‴), wherein the data set for at least one particular optical lens (112, 112', 112", 112‴) at least comprises:- a first item (216) of information related to an identifier for the at least one particular optical lens (112, 112', 112", 112‴); and- a second item (218) of information related to at least one of:o at least one manufacturing machine (124, 124', 124') configured for performing at least one manufacturing step at the at least one particular optical lens (112, 112', 112", 112‴); oro the at least one manufacturing step to be performed at the at least one particular optical lens by using the at least one manufacturing machine (124, 124', 124');c) transmitting the data set for each optical lens (112, 112', 112", 112‴) to at least one server (130, 130', 130") configured for operating the at least one manufacturing machine (124, 124', 124') designated for performing the at least one manufacturing step; andb) providing the data set for the at least one particular optical lens (112, 112', 112", 112‴) to be retrieved by the at least one manufacturing machine (124, 124', 124') for manufacturing the at least one particular optical lens (112, 112', 112", 112‴).
