Semi-Finished Spectacle Lens Identification With Removable Sticker Codes

A detachable sticker serves as an intermediary carrier for the unique identification code, separating the coding function from the lens surface itself. The sticker can be applied to the lens during manufacturing and removed later, providing efficient identification without permanently occupying lens surface area.

The identification system is segmented into a removable sticker component and the lens component. This allows the coding function to be isolated on a separate element that can be applied and removed independently, improving identification efficiency without committing permanent surface area on the lens.

The detachable sticker acts as a temporary intermediary that covers existing embossed codes during manufacturing processes, eliminating the need for mechanical surface treatment to expose them. The sticker can be removed when code reading is required, restoring readability without requiring additional mechanical processing.

The sticker is applied in advance during manufacturing to protect and transport the lens with its embossed code intact. This preliminary covering action prevents the need for subsequent mechanical surface treatment, as the code remains preserved underneath the sticker throughout the manufacturing process.

The detachable sticker serves as a flexible intermediary that enables early individualization by carrying unique identification codes from the beginning of manufacturing. This allows each lens to be tracked and monitored individually through data-driven quality control systems without requiring complex permanent coding infrastructure.

The manufacturing process flexibility is enhanced by changing the identification medium from permanent embossing to removable stickers. This parameter change allows the same manufacturing line to handle individualized tracking of each lens while maintaining simplicity through the use of standard adhesive sticker application processes.
