GOM Software is now
ZEISS INSPECT

In 2019, the ZEISS Group acquired GOM as a company and integrated it into the division ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions. As a part of ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions, Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology GmbH has increased its powerful technology and software portfolio in the fields of metrology and quality assurance even more. With release 2023, the integration into ZEISS will also become visible in all software products. Our software portfolio is dedicated to make your everyday metrological challenges as easy as possible.

To do so, we focus on the ZEISS Quality Suite as the central touch point: Due to the integration of other products throughout the year, it enables you to work seamlessly across products. Next to software products, it also provides to users offers and services in one location, such as direct access to eLearning courses, updates, news and apps. The metrology software ZEISS INSPECT is the core of our ZEISS Quality Suite. It visualizes quality in a simple way and will provide more and more business flexibility in the future. A key advantage is the technological independence: In the future, ZEISS INSPECT will be compatible with all measuring systems – both devices by ZEISS and by other manufacturers. This will considerably reduce the training expenditure.

Next to a number of developments and new features, the current software release 2023 also provides a uniform name concept for all software products. Each name reflects the respective technology:

• GOM Inspect becomes ZEISS INSPECT Optical 3D
• GOM Volume Inspect becomes ZEISS INSPECT X-Ray
• GOM Blade Inspect becomes ZEISS INSPECT Airfoil
• GOM Correlate becomes ZEISS INSPECT Correlate

Good news for the large user community: With your update to release 2023, the GOM software will be automatically converted to ZEISS INSPECT. You can use the inspection software as usual and do not have to do anything.
