ZEISS Technical Cleanliness Solutions

ZEISS Technical Cleanliness Solutions were developed in collaboration with automotive manufacturers and suppliers. They had specific requirements for high-performance particle identification and characterization systems that are easy and intuitive to use.

As a result, ZEISS solutions are easy to use, can be deployed in multiple locations and in any manufacturing or industrial environment, and can be applied by users who are not microscopy experts.

ZEISS software accelerates classification of particles with machine learning.

Technical cleanliness is part of the ZEN core software portfolio from the industrial microscopy sector. To optimize particle classification, ZEISS now offers ZEISS ZEN core users the Technical Cleanliness Analysis („TCA“) solution with three pre-trained modules based on machine learning. This module offers the functionality to classify particles based on measured parameters of an analyzed image. Samples are analyzed via three pre-trained machine learning models which can be additionally trained by users & customers. Samples are analyzed via gray scale determination and the pre-trained Machine Learning model for object classification runs in the background in the new TCA job templates, while the type classification is checked in parallel, based on the existing particle measurement results. This additional check of the type classification via machine learning algorithms „looks at” the particle results obtained with the classical analysis for size, shape, intensity and type classification, among others, and combines the various features into a large number of uncorrelated decision trees. The results are evaluated individually for each decision tree using the classification trained to the object classification model. The result is an automatic prediction of the particle type.
