Production metrology for Physical AI.
Physical AI runs on optics and photonics. None of it ships without production testing. We build that layer: turnkey test and calibration systems for AR glasses, optical interconnects and quantum computers.
20+
YEARS OF TEAM EXPERIENCE
Optical metrology, robotics and test automation, delivered to leading consumer electronics OEMs worldwide.
nm
Level precision
Alignment and metrology for nano-optics and photonics, where microns are too coarse.
50×
Throughput
Up to 50× higher UPH in functional test, built for high-volume manufacturing.
GR&R
REPEATABLE, TRACEABLE
Measurement systems qualified for production, with per-unit data traceability.
Offering
Two ways to work with us.
Optical and robotic test systems for photonics, consumer electronics and defense.
Every system is built on Havuja Runko™, our modular platform for motion, alignment, optical measurement, device control and data analysis. We start from proven building blocks, not a blank page.
01
Turnkey test & calibration systems
When you know what to measure.
High-precision optical measurement and alignment
Custom optics design, instrumentation and system integration
Machine vision, image analysis and test data analytics
Built on Runko platform: proven modules, faster delivery
GR&R-qualified, with installation and support worldwide
02
Co-development programs
When the measurement doesn’t exist yet.
Feasibility studies and proof-of-concept builds
Test strategy and validation for new optical devices
Hardware, software and system integration
Early access to our next-generation test platform
Applications
Engineered to your process, specs and line.
Three markets, one platform proven in production: precision motion, optical metrology, machine vision and automation software.
Wafer & die level optical probing
SILICON PHOTONICS · PIC · CPO
THE CHALLENGE
Moving data now costs AI more energy than it can afford, and quantum is scaling to millions of photonic components. Both need precise optical test at production volume.
WHAT WE BRING
Automated optical test and alignment for PICs and optical engines: fast, repeatable and traceable, designed to scale from R&D to full production.
Wafer & die level optical probing
AR & nano-optics
waveguides · metalenses · displays
THE CHALLENGE
AR smart glasses are heading to consumer volumes. Today’s optical test is too slow to keep up.
WHAT WE BRING
Functional optical test for waveguides, metalenses and other planar nano-optics, at production speed.
Wafer & die level optical probing
DEFENSE & Aerospace
CAMERAS • SENSORS • HEAD-MOUNTED SYSTEMS
THE CHALLENGE
Every unit aligned, calibrated and traceable, with no room for field failure.
WHAT WE BRING
Alignment, calibration and end-of-line test, GR&R-qualified and built for production.
We’re building the metrology infrastructure that takes the physical AI to scale.
HAVUJA SOLUTIONS OY · TAMPERE, FINLAND
OUR STORY
Havuja was founded in 2025 in Tampere, Finland, by engineers with decades of experience in optical metrology, robotics and test automation.
We’ve taken optical metrology from R&D to volume manufacturing for the world’s leading OEMs. We’re a multidisciplinary team: optics, mechanics, robotics, machine vision and software all under one roof.
Now we’re doing it for photonics. Our goal is to turn advanced optics and engineering into reliable production systems, and to help Europe build resilient, competitive advanced manufacturing.
OUR STORY
Our name — Havuja, Finnish for “conifer sprigs” — stands for endurance, growth, and the strength to thrive in demanding conditions.
It’s how we build our systems, too: made for demanding production environments, and made to last.
Company
Nordic ingenuity, built for global impact.
Independent and European. A trusted scaling partner for resilient photonics supply chains.
Our mission
Turn future technologies into practical, reliable systems that empower people and strengthen society.
Our vision
Be the global standard for production metrology in photonics — making the optics behind physical AI measurable, repeatable and ready for volume.
