And the Story Continues
New materials. Smarter systems. Deeper intelligence. Daniel Benjano and OGI Systems continue to shape the future of the diamond and jewelry industry — driving innovation that opens new opportunities for generations to come.
36 Years of Innovation
From Precision Imaging to Artificial Intelligence
Since 1990, Daniel Benjano has been among the early pioneers of the technological transformation of the diamond industry. At a time when many key processes were still performed manually, he introduced computerized systems designed to bring greater precision, consistency and automation to professional diamond work.
By combining imaging, optics, mechanics and software, Daniel helped break technological barriers and move the industry from manual processes toward intelligent, computer-controlled solutions.
Over the following 36 years, Daniel Benjano and OGI Systems continued this technology journey across nearly every stage of the diamond and gemstone process — from measurement, planning and analysis to cutting, marking, inscription, 3D scanning, detection, imaging and advanced AI-driven automation.
OGI Systems has built its reputation by repeatedly developing technologies ahead of their time — transforming ideas in imaging, measurement, planning, laser processing, detection and automation into practical systems adopted by diamond and jewelry professionals worldwide.
From Manual Processes to Computerized Precision. From Precision to Intelligence.
1990
OGICenter
Early computerized technology for diamond measurement and analysis.
1992
OGIScope
Early computerized optical proportion analyzer for polished diamonds, replacing manual measurement with faster and more consistent digital analysis.
1994
OGICut – Automatic Rough Diamond Bruting
One of OGI Systems’ early flagship technologies, OGICut introduced automated rough-diamond bruting with a preset diameter stop, replacing a traditionally operator-dependent process with greater precision, consistency and productivity. Designed to work together with OGI’s computerized centering technology, the system enabled a single operator to supervise multiple machines simultaneously — up to 24 units according to OGI historical records. During the 1990s, OGICut became an important part of OGI Systems’ expansion in India. According to OGI sales records and original customer invoices, OGICut systems were supplied to diamond manufacturers across the Indian market, contributing to the industry’s transition from traditional manual production toward computerized and automated manufacturing.

OGIMarker – Automatic Rough Diamond Marking
OGI introduced computerized automatic rough-diamond marking. After scanning and planning, the calculated cutting position was transferred automatically to the rough using a precision marking pen — replacing manual transfer and improving accuracy, consistency and productivity.
1999–2000
OGI Rough Planner & Laser Mapping
OGI expanded rough planning with dedicated planning and marking modules plus laser mapping of holes, grooves and concave areas. Special OGIRough systems were developed for exceptionally large rough diamonds, up to 1,000 carats according to OGI historical records.
2001
OGIWriter / GemScribe
Compact Desktop Diamond Laser Inscription System Small, easy to use, and requires minimal training. Inscribes numbers, logos, and brands on diamonds for authentication and anti-counterfeiting.
2001–2002
OGIMarker Laser
OGIMarker evolved from erasable pen marking to permanent precision laser marking, automatically transferring planned cutting lines from the 3D rough-diamond model directly onto the stone.
2003
OGIVoyage – Portable Rough Planning
OGI introduced a portable rough-diamond planning system designed to bring computerized analysis directly to the field, helping buyers evaluate rough diamonds away from the factory environment.
2004
OGITender – Portable USB Rough System
OGITender advanced OGI’s portable rough-planning concept with a USB-based system operating on a laptop, enabling buyers to scan, analyze and plan rough diamonds directly during tenders and make more informed purchasing decisions.
Later Generation
Scanox Tender Series
OGITender evolved into the Scanox Tender family of portable high-resolution rough analyzers. The series expanded into multiple models for different stone sizes and tender requirements, including Scanox Zoom Tender i20, Tender i40, i100, i200, i300 and large-stone i500 configurations. The systems combine laser scanning, HD imaging, inclusion analysis, Multi-Cut planning and Best Value calculations to help maximize yield and profitability at rough-diamond tenders.
