Future technologies of ZEISS

For a better tomorrow

Future technologies of ZEISS

ZEISS is a global technology leader and drives technological progress forward with its highly innovative solutions. All research is carried out on an international basis involving various disciplines regardless as to whether it is about technical materials, artificial intelligence, sensors for imaging or microstructured optics or holographic elements. After all, this is the only way ZEISS can create innovations that bring global benefits.

High-tech materials

High-tech materials

Conventional materials reach their limits at some point. New developments are thus constantly required to meet the demands of future cutting-edge technology. By promoting advanced materials, ZEISS is shaping this change.

Sensor technology and automation

Sensor technology and automation

With a strong focus on customer needs, ZEISS aims to make future generations of devices not only smarter, but smaller and faster. The aim is also to minimize power consumption. In addition, ZEISS supports automation in factories, medicine and laboratories with its range of technologies. Current projects include miniaturized and integrated photonics and sensor technology for imaging, robotic systems, autonomous systems, and mechatronic concepts, as well as computer- and robot-assisted surgery.

Artificial intelligence AI

Artificial intelligence (AI)

Current devices and software solutions from ZEISS already contain AI components or have been manufactured with them. But there is also a major focus on topics such as intelligent data use or advanced machine learning methods.

Optics and photonics
