In the laser optics and metrology sector, constant innovation is the key to stay relevant and competitive. This was particularly evident at the Photonics 2019 exhibition, a technically advanced forum that offered a unique platform for showcasing cutting-edge products designed for the optics manufacturing market. However, amidst this plethora of advanced solutions, the challenge was to stand out and convince potential customers of the unique advantages they could gain from adopting specific technologies.

In response to this challenge, ZYGO showcased a variety of groundbreaking products, each offering unique features aimed at solving particular industry challenges. The Dynafiz interferometer, for instance, stood out with its three distinct acquisition modes, including a dynamic mode that allows data acquisition at near-frame rates, thereby ensuring swift and accurate measurements.

Another innovative product, the Verifire MST, was designed to address the need for measuring multiple surfaces simultaneously—an essential requirement for high-precision glass applications, as well as consumer electronics like thin display glass.

The ZH Pro, based on ZYGO’s core Coherence Scanning Interferometer technology, offers the versatility to measure a wide range of applications—from gasoline and diesel injectors to optics—with the same performance, reliability, and lifespan as high-end systems like the NewView or NexView.

Then there’s the NexView 2, ZYGO’s flagship profiler that boasts a large stage and high performance in vertical resolution. This versatile tool can be employed in diverse applications, such as measuring the roughness or spatial frequencies on optics. It is equally valuable in R&D settings and production environments, where it often sits right next to the production machines.

This emphasis on innovative solutions and the range of potential applications these products cater to is a testament to ZYGO’s ability to understand and respond to diverse customer needs. The real measure of success, however, lies in the subsequent orders and new customers they attract—an affirmation of their ongoing commitment to providing industry-leading solutions in optics and metrology.

In essence, ZYGO’s participation in the Photonics 2019 exhibition showcases the company’s role as a pioneer in the field of laser optics and metrology, committed to delivering versatile, high-performing solutions that meet the evolving needs of their customer base. Their presence at such exhibitions also underlines their commitment to understanding and addressing new applications, paving the way for continued innovation and growth.

The laser world of photonic two thousand nineteen is a very technical about laser optics and also metrology. We are showing our current product line, which is address the market of optics, optics manufacturing, going more in wavefront measurement and transmitted and reflected wavefront measurement The Dynafiz interferometer offers significant advantages for a customer. Most important of which, is that it offers three distinct acquisition modes. From using dynamic mode, we can acquire data continuously at near reframe rates. The verifier MST product, MST stands for multiple surface tests. The MST is capable of measuring multiple surfaces simultaneously. We address applications such as homogeneity of very high precision glass applications, as well as consumer electronic applications like thin display glass. ZH Pro is also based on our core coherence scanning in the Ferrometer technology, which gives you the performance to measure different application, can be from gasoline, injectors, can diesel injectors, optics, It has the same performance, the same reliability, and the same long lifetime as our high end system, which we call new view or next view. We have here the Next View two. The Next View two is our flagship from the Zygo profiler. It has a very common setup but it has some advantages where we have a large stage, we have very high performance and vertical resolution. Applications be that we can measure on optics, where we want to measure the roughness, or the spatial frequencies. This is used in r and d, or it is also used directly in production, where it sits next to the production machines. This exhibition is mainly addressed the market of optics, object factoring, like every exhibition our success is in the upcoming orders, meeting new application, meeting new customers who would address the application, to us, and that's the reason why we are here at Lazer twenty nineteen.

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar announced a collaboration with robotics company FieldAI on Sept. 5, 2026, aimed at bringing physical AI and autonomous systems to construction sites and industrial environments, according to Automation News. The companies plan to combine Caterpillar's operational data and engineering with FieldAI's robot foundation models, along with NVIDIA computing and digital twin tools.

  • 01Caterpillar and FieldAI are combining industrial expertise with AI-enabled robot foundation models for construction and industrial site automation.
  • 02Planned applications include autonomous inspections for safety, digital twins for operational insight, and AI-driven simulation for industrial operations.
  • 03The partnership will use NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Omniverse for robot-agnostic autonomy technology across multiple robotic platforms.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments

JE Dunn Adds Power Generation Unit as Data Centers Grow

JE Dunn Construction announced on Aug. 26, 2026 that it created a power generation unit within its advanced technology group and appointed Ryan Wilson to lead it, according to Construction Dive. The move follows a broader rise in power-related construction work tied to data centers, manufacturing and aging infrastructure.

  • 01JE Dunn named Ryan Wilson, a senior project manager with power and industrial experience, as VP and market lead for its new power generation unit.
  • 02Planned U.S. data center projects increased 203% in five months (March to August 2026), from 666 to 2,019, with Virginia leading at 458 planned projects.
  • 03Power work generates roughly 35% to 40% of Canadian firm WSP Global's U.S. revenue, Clayco launched a power and energy unit in March 2026, and Kiewit and Bechtel were selected for a $33 billion Ohio power project.
