An international technology enterprise recently broke ground on the company’s new facility for its Industrial Quality and Research division.
ZEISS has begun construction on the new modern site near Detroit, Michigan, which will provide a broad portfolio of dimensional metrology and inspection equipment and services to a wide variety of industries including automotive, medical, aerospace, defense, machine tools, and general manufacturing job shops. ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions will offer system demonstrations for customers as well as metrology services.
“We are investing over 45 million dollars in the Detroit metro region to strengthen and increase our engagement in this global automotive and smart factory hot spot,” said Dr. Jochen Peter, Member of the Executive Board of the ZEISS Group and Head of the Industrial Quality and Research segment. “This will not only have a strong, positive impact for our customers and partners in North America but will also generate new momentum for the whole Industrial Quality and Research segment of ZEISS worldwide.”
“With the new ZEISS Center in Michigan, we aim to assure a higher level of satisfaction with our solutions for our customers and provide a more attractive working environment for our team,” said Michael Kirchner, member of the leadership team for the ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions strategic business unit and Head of its business in North America.
ZEISS measuring specialists will be able to perform proof-of-capability demonstrations for multidimensional measurement equipment, surface form and geometry equipment, and non-destructive testing and surface defect detection equipment. The need to show how digital platforms and solutions that connect ZEISS equipment to the new infrastructure within modern smart factory environments is becoming increasingly important.
It will also be a center for aftermarket sales support. Here customers will receive training on how to use the software and systems. Additionally, software help desk services will operate out of the facility.
