ZeroTouch is dedicated to delivering advanced automated industrial measurement solutions to provide real-time actionable data. With its high-speed, high-accuracy, noncontact multisensor, and multicloud configurable Metrology in Motion platform, it provides real-time data throughout various stages of the customer manufacturing process. This creates a dynamic feedback loop for continuous process control, leading to advanced process optimization. As a result, operational efficiency is enhanced by eliminating nonvalue-added activities, reducing the cost of goods sold.
The company is poised to make a significant impact in the high-volume, near-line, and in-line applications in automotive, medical, micromachining, and industries where 100% inspection of mission-critical components is required. This will allow customers to shorten tasks and reduce impacts of deployment, asset, and labor costs.
Zvonimir Kotnik, president of ZeroTouch, says, “With Industry 4.0 and smart factories, the global manufacturing industry is undergoing fundamental changes. To improve efficiency, metrology is moving from quality assurance rooms, near-process to in-line and in-situ metrology. Rather than a separate inspection process, metrology is and will be part of closed-looped manufacturing. ZeroTouch aspires to play a leading role in enabling more efficient and sustainable manufacturing through automated and connected solutions.”
