ZEISS PiWeb
Supply Chain Quality

Quality starts before delivery.

Extend quality intelligence to your supplier base

As a manufacturer, you depend on the quality of purchased parts, materials and components. Yet your supplier quality data is often distributed across various sources or may only become available when the parts are already on their way or waiting for release.

ZEISS PiWeb Supply Chain Quality extends established ZEISS PiWeb quality intelligence into your supplier network. Supplier-reviewed quality data becomes available in your PiWeb environment before delivery of parts, providing an earlier and more consistent basis for quality-related decisions before supplier issues impact production.

    Expanding quality intelligence into the supply chain

    While ZEISS PiWeb provides quality intelligence across your own measurements, parts, systems and sites, ZEISS PiWeb Supply Chain Quality expands your quality view upstream across connected suppliers and consolidates supplier quality data in a single environment. By combining your internal and supplier quality data, you gain the insights needed to evaluate quality before delivery, compare quality performance across suppliers and make more informed production decisions.

    Creating a controlled quality-data flow

    Gain visibility and simplify supplier quality data handling with a secure, controlled architecture

    Suppliers can collect measurement data from ZEISS and non-ZEISS systems, review the results and provide approved quality data from their own environment. This data can be shared within a dedicated PiWeb Supplier Server which creates separated supplier data spaces and enables controlled external access.

    Through unidirectional server synchronization, the supplier data then becomes available within your own ZEISS PiWeb Enterprise Server for quality-related decisions, while your internal quality environment remains separated and protected.

    Know the quality status before the parts arrive

    ZEISS PiWeb Supply Chain Quality makes supplier quality data available in PiWeb for contextual analysis, comparison and deeper investigation, enabling earlier and better-informed decisions.

    Instead of receiving isolated measurement results, manufacturers gain an early understanding of the quality situation behind an incoming quality data delivery. Using PiWeb’s established quality intelligence capabilities, teams can interpret supplier data in context, explore relevant details and prepare appropriate decisions and actions before the parts arrive.
