System requirements
  • Philipp Alender

    All individual parts are scanned and evaluated in ZEISS INSPECT. We definitely prefer optical measurement technology for measurements during production. For the simple reason that this is much faster and we can react more quickly to changes in the part – for example, warpage or minor corrections.

    Philipp Alender Head of Metrology in the Quality Assurance department at Hansgrohe
  • Frank Sears

    We were able to hit our target of 24 pieces per batch and can inspect three times as many features in a third of the time for the entire product family. The operators on the floor really enjoy the software and what it has to offer, and we’re able to communicate exactly what is going on to other departments.​

    Frank Sears Lead Quality Engineer at Orchid Orthopedic Solutions​
  • Chris Tinker

    ZEISS INSPECT stands out as one of the most powerful software solutions in the world. We run batches of parts simultaneously and have effectively minimized downtime in the process. It’s easy to implement and the features are easy to use.​
