Enabler of technological progress

Powerful microchips for a digital future Powerful and energy-efficient EUV chips enable life-saving medical technology, support autonomous driving and form the backbone of high-performance computers, smart cities and AI. more than 80 percent of microchips worldwide are manufactured using DUV or EUV technology based on ZEISS optics. From 2025, high-NA-EUV lithography will also be used ZEISS is thus enabling the semiconductor sector to create the next generation of microchips with even finer and therefore up to three times more structures: this will keep the heart of digitalization beating at ZEISS in the future.

The ZEISS Medical Ecosystem offers new possibilities for diagnosis and treatment. Digital
systems and connected devices enable ZEISS’ workflow solutions, forming the ZEISS Medical Ecosystem – a fully integrated environment where connectivity, automation, AI and the secure and efficient management of data are realized. In a fully integrated ZEISS workflow, data collected from devices is digitally transferred to the ZEISS Health Data Platform, where it is accessible to a variety of digital applications for every step in the clinical workflow. In this way, healthcare centers can standardize processes and can provide efficient, high-quality care. They open new ways of communicating with patients and support medical professionals in their collaboration.

ZEISS Industrial Quality & Research develops connected solutions and intelligent software based on AI for quality assurance in various areas of research and industry. ZEISS microscopes make tiny structures in nano dimensions visible at an even higher resolution. Highly efficient metrology systems guarantee productivity and quality in industry. From analysis in the field of microscopy to quality assurance in additive manufacturing, ZEISS is increasingly relying on AI-based software solutions for its microscope and metrology systems both for smart factories, in which production processes are increasingly automated and AI controlled, and in research, where the collection and analysis of microscopic data can be improved and accelerated with the help of AI.

ZEISS Vision Care is developing digital innovations for greater precision, speed and service in optometry. One of these is the ZEISS VISUCORE 500 refraction system, which combines objective and subjective refraction in one space saving device and combines two processes for eye measurement using innovative software. The system delivers precise measurement results whatever the user's level of experience. Another digital innovation is the ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 platform, which uses a 3D image of the head to make it possible to try on glasses virtually in-store, at home or on the move. The ZEISS VISUCONSULT 500 networking solution consolidates the various ZEISS devices into one digital system and facilitates the central management and use of data.
