Hexagon

Application

VGSTUDIO MAXApplication

Software for analysing and visualising industrial CT and NDT data, from reconstruction to GD&T, material analysis and simulation, with AI-based segmentation of CT data.

VGTRAINERApplication

No-code software for training AI segmentation models on a customer's own labelled industrial CT datasets, run on-premises and applied to datasets in VGSTUDIO MAX and VGinLINE.

VGinLINEApplication

Automated CT inspection software for production lines: it brings VGSTUDIO MAX analysis and AI-supported segmentation to the shop floor for in-line, at-line and sample inspection with minimal manual input.

ZEISS

Application

ZADD SegmentationApplication

App for ZEISS INSPECT X-Ray that detects, segments and evaluates defects in industrial CT scans with pre-trained or customised AI models, including on noisy scans with artifacts.

ZEISS CIRRUS PathFinderApplication

Deep-learning support tool built into ZEISS CIRRUS OCT devices that reviews macular OCT scans and flags the B-scans that may need closer review, such as subretinal or intraretinal fluid and retinal pigment epithelium changes, and can be switched off when not wanted.

ZEISS Microscopy CopilotApplication

An AI assistant advises users on microscopy experiment planning and image acquisition setup.

ZEISS Surgery OptimizerApplication

Cloud application for cataract surgeons that stores surgical videos exported from ZEISS CALLISTO eye, arranges them in a case library with biometry and device data, and uses an AI segmentation algorithm to give surgeon and clinic performance dashboards and step-by-step review.

ZEISS ZEN AI ToolkitApplication

A licensed ZEN toolkit provides image denoising, segmentation, object classification and model training.

ZEISS ZEN coreApplication
