COM Automation

OptiRE supports the modern software technology called Automation. This enables incorporating OptiRE in any production control software. Due to this technology OptiRE can be involved into the on-line control of manufacturing process.
It is possible to call OptiRE functions and get results back from any other program.
In 2014 OptiLayer module COM Automation has been officially released.
