ZEISS Digital Innovation is the winner of the MIMA Award 2025 in the Category “Scale”

The combination of virtual and physical metrology can predict the quality of components in real time using digital solutions and enables immediate adjustments to production processes. Based on the closed-loop approach, the software solution has shown significant productivity gains and cost savings, achieving its return on investment (ROI) after just a few months. The numerous fields of application, especially in brownfield applications, and the positive effects demonstrated by ZEISS Digital Innovation’s customers underline its effectiveness and scalability in precision manufacturing. 

“Anyone who wants to ensure value creation in Germany and Europe in a future-proof and competitive manner, will have to implement autonomous solutions in the near future. This applies equally to complex production structures, such as in the semiconductor industry, and to traditional manufacturing disciplines such as machining. Wherever conventional efficiency measures reach their limits, we will see autonomous manufacturing solutions in the future. For us, the fundamental factor is the ability to use process and workpiece information in real time to control the manufacturing process. This is a major step towards data-driven production.” Alfred Mönch, COO, ZEISS Digital Innovation
