ZU-Control – Intelligent Measurement and Control Technology from a Single Source Where precise inspection processes, reliable workflows, and maximum adaptability are required, ZU-Control creates the perfect link between measurement and control technology. This powerful platform from Ziemann & Urban enables you to design, control, and visualize complete inspection and machine processes – fully tailored to your individual requirements. ZU-Control seamlessly integrates a wide range of measurement systems, including tactile, electrical, and optical technologies, into one cohesive solution. The result is a fully connected process environment where different measurement methods work together intelligently. Whether manual workstations or fully automated production lines, ZU-Control supports your operators with clear guidance and an intuitive touchscreen interface for efficient and reliable operation. A key advantage is centralized processing and evaluation: virtually unlimited image processing and measurement units can be integrated into your production workflow and managed through a single control module. This reduces complexity, increases transparency, and ensures your system remains flexible and easy to expand. ZU-Control also sets standards in documentation and traceability. For safety-critical or documentation-relevant components, integrated logging ensures complete traceability. Additional features such as an integrated label editor for barcode and DMC applications, as well as the ability to link various sensors within a 2D/3D coordinate system, make ZU-Control a powerful control center for our solutions. Thanks to open interfaces such as TCP/IP or common fieldbus systems, ZU-Control integrates seamlessly into existing production environments. An extensive service menu with diagnostic and test modes also supports commissioning, maintenance, and fast service operations. ZU-Control – for full control, intelligent processes, and measurable quality.

In modern manufacturing, vast amounts of data are generated every day – but real value comes from transforming that data into actionable insights. With ZU-Report, Ziemann & Urban offers a powerful data mining tool that converts your inspection and measurement data into a solid foundation for informed decisions and continuous process optimization. As a central analytics platform, ZU-Report processes data from ZU-Vision and ZU-Control, providing full transparency across your production processes. Whether individual measurements, complex inspection routines, or large historical datasets – all information is structured, clearly visualized, and easily accessible for in-depth analysis. With support for modern SQL databases (MS SQL, MySQL, MariaDB) and a highly scalable architecture, ZU-Report can integrate an unlimited number of systems, products, and evaluations. Even with large data volumes, performance remains consistently high – including in high-speed environments with decentralized data collection and centralized consolidation. ZU-Report enables flexible, application-specific analysis of your production data. Filter, compare, and visualize results exactly according to your needs. From defect frequency analysis and cavity-based evaluations to detailed raw data insights – you gain full visibility into quality and process stability at all times. Comprehensive export functions (e.g. Excel, PDF, HTML) as well as the storage of images support reporting, documentation, and communication – both internally and externally. Redundant data storage also ensures maximum security. Your benefits at a glance: • Centralized analysis and visualization of inspection and measurement data • Scalable for unlimited systems and products • Powerful data mining for data-driven process optimization • Flexible filtering and analysis tailored to your application • Seamless integration with ZU-Vision and ZU-Control ZU-Report – because data only creates value when it is understood.

The "ZU SORT" solution, designed as a glass plate system, can be equipped with multiple camera stations. Parts are fed in bulk via a vibratory bowl feeder, but other conveying methods are also easily accommodated. The parts are separated on the glass plate and precisely measured and inspected. Parts that meet specifications are blown off, while the others are stripped. Furthermore, in verification mode, as part of cyclical inspection (after a specific time or number of parts), automated checks can be performed to determine the extent to which good parts are good and bad parts are bad, and whether there are any contaminants or defects that could affect the inspection. Standard sorting is possible according to two defect classes. After inspection, the parts are either conveyed in bulk or packaged in bags, blisters, or similar containers (depending on customer requirements).

ZU-Vision – Maximum Flexibility in Industrial Image Processing In modern automation, image processing is a key driver of quality, efficiency, and competitiveness. With ZU-Vision, Ziemann & Urban delivers a powerful platform designed to meet exactly these demands: maximum flexibility, high scalability, and reliable results – even in the most demanding applications. Benefit from over 35 years of experience in developing proprietary machine vision systems. The modular architecture of ZU-Vision allows solutions to be tailored precisely to your needs – from simple inspection stations to complex, fully automated production lines. A comprehensive toolbox with more than 200 functions, combined with integrated AI technologies, ensures precise and future-proof image analysis. At the same time, you retain full control: all inspection and measurement data can be captured, analyzed, and seamlessly integrated into your existing systems – ensuring maximum transparency and full traceability. The intuitive user interface and freely programmable inspection workflows enable fast setup and easy adaptation during operation. Thanks to offline programming, you can optimize processes without interrupting production. ZU-Vision grows with your requirements: the number of cameras and applications is virtually unlimited and only constrained by the available computing power. Open interfaces such as OPC UA, TCP/IP, and fieldbus systems ensure smooth integration into your automation environment. Your benefits at a glance: • Maximum flexibility through modular design • AI integration for complex inspection tasks • Scalable for any system size • Easy integration into existing infrastructures • Full data control and traceability ZU-Vision – because your quality demands no compromise.

Stellen Sie sich vor, es gibt ein System, das die Zugangsberechtigungen für Ihre Maschinen klar regelt. Ein System, das es Ihren Mitarbeitern ermöglicht, Fehler durch klar geregelte Berechtigungssysteme zu vermeiden. Ein System, das schwer merkbare oder irgendwo notierte Passwörter überflüssig macht. Ein System, das den Einsatz von zahllosen unterschiedlichen Schlüsseln nicht mehr erfordert. Ein System, das zusätzlich auch noch die sichere Betriebsartenwahl Ihrer Maschine ermöglicht. Das alles ist jetzt machbar! Das moderne Zugangsberechtigungs- und Betriebsartenwahlsystem PITmode vereint Security und Safety Funktionen in einem System. Es kommt in allen Anlagen und Maschinen zum Einsatz, bei denen unterschiedliche Zugriffsrechte und funktional sichere Betriebsarten erforderlich sind. Beide Funktionen erfordern ein umfassendes, manipulationssicheres Berechtigungsmanagement.
