A new element is now available for creating a variety of 1D & 2D barcodes directly in ZEISS PiWeb reporting. Use variables or a text to generate various types of barcodes, QR-codes or data matrix codes that can be used for example, to send information about quality data via WhatsApp, e-mails or to display the data in the ZEISS PiWeb app.

Now users can easily manage notifications by setting rules for multiple parts instead of individual parts. Additionally, they can now apply rules to multiple users or groups of users to quicky set up notifications for departments or responsible users.

New functionality to filter data by using AND / OR logic allows an unlimited combination of possibilities. Additionally, data sets can be sorted multiple times to allow precise organization of data in tables and reports.

New tools are available in ZEISS PiWeb monitor to better visualize the position of stamps by highlighting features and displaying the stamp so that users can see exactly which feature in the drawing requires attention. The stamp position can now also be changed in ZEISS PiWeb planner and ZEISS PiWeb designer. New dynamic elements for report generation are also available.

The license-free ZEISS PiWeb monitor offers users visualization of reports and measurement data. Interactive elements and detail view are deactivated for this functionality.

ZEISS PiWeb 8.0 improves interactive and defect CAD views with customizable template flags. The flags visualize wide-ranging information about measured features. You can now define flag colors, labels, content and connecting lines to CAD points, as well as align and shift flags via drag & drop.

Measurement data can now be grouped, displayed in bar and pie charts and classified based on measurement status to enable users to create quick overviews like parts produced per shift, number of good or bad parts per lot number etc. The new filter functionality also allows to filter data based on measurement attributes, the status of characteristics, and based on values outside or within measurement tolerance limits.

New tools for administration of notification rules make it easier for users to configure notifications for other users. Users also have the ability to manage rules in the ZEISS PiWeb App. As we are still perfecting the module, ZEISS PiWeb notifications and all of the available improvements are still free of charge in ZEISS PiWeb 8.0.

ZEISS PiWeb performance has been improved for loading reports that display data from several parts with a single, high-performance test plan query –thanks to the integration of a new endpoint on client and server side. As a result, ZEISS PiWeb monitor loading times decreased from 8:15 min to 7 seconds in a sample report. Performance increases will vary case to case.

Developed for our customers’ needs and initially introduced free of charge, ZEISS PiWeb notifications provides active notifications based on user-defined rules. If quality rules are broken, for example if a measure-ment is out of tolerance or trending towards limits, users that subscribed to the rule are notified with details right away. Notifications are also available in the ZEISS PiWeb App.

The ZEISS PiWeb App enables users to quickly access and assess their quality data, hence lowering the reaction time for countermeasures. ZEISS PiWeb notifications, which supports this process, has been improved to provide a list view and a detailed view of notifications as well as notification badges.

Inline measurement devices and offline devices need to be correlated frequently to ensure accurate results. When deviations occur, ZEISS PiWeb inline correlation calculates offsets centrally and generates a file that can be exported to inline devices. This eliminates the need to transfer results between machines and upkeeps measurement accuracy.
