“Carl Zeiss” is not just one of the world's leading lens manufacturers from Germany, but also a developer and manufacturer of a wide range of precision measuring instruments, including 3D Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM).
However, the company changed its brand name to "ZEISS" in 2013.
ZEISS and Tokyo Seimitsu (Japan) formed a business alliance in 1995, to develop and distribute products worldwide using the strengths of both companies.
Mr. Witchayut Watkheaw, Sales Department of Carl Zeiss Thailand, and Mr. Thanapon Thechaamornsin, Sales Department of our company. The Tokyo Seimitsu subsidiary in Thailand will discuss the projects that the two companies are collaborating with and the future trends.
ZEISS with 175 years of history in the precision instruments business
ZEISS was founded in Jena, Germany in 1846 as a workshop for the manufacture of microscopes.
The company currently has branches in more than 50 countries around the world. Including Thailand and Japan, and businesses related to accurate measurement in areas such as aircraft industry, automotive industry, energy industry, and microelectronics.
In the development and manufacture of precision measuring instruments, ZEISS developed the world's first automatic CNC measuring tool.
As part of the Carl Zeiss series, Tokyo Seimitsu offers a number of coordinate measuring machines (CMM), including the “ZEISS O-INSEPCT” and “ZEISS PRISMO®”, as well as the “ZRE (ZEISS Reverse Engineering)”, 3D CAD software for mold manufacturing that enables reverse engineering.
▲ 3D Coordinate Measuring Machines of Carl Zeiss series, "ZEISS O-INSPECT" combines the functions of 3D coordinate measuring machines, projector, optical microscope and contour measuring instrument into a single unit for measuring and evaluating small parts (from left to right: ZEISS O-INSPECT 322/543/863).
Thanapon: ZEISS is a pioneer in global innovation and technology in measuring instruments. ZEISS “CMM dimension technology” for dimensioning is used worldwide.
Meanwhile, Tokyo Seimitsu offers technology and products for surface roughness and contour measurement that ZEISS does not have.
With cooperation, we will be able to complement each other's technology that we don’t have. And will be able to improve various product lineups in the future.
We can handle ZEISS products in Thailand as well as in Japan. For Japanese companies in Thailand, we can provide user support by Japanese staff for Zeiss products.
In addition, Western companies in Thailand can purchase Tokyo Seimitsu products through ZEISS. Here are some of the key benefits of the business partner between two companies in Thailand.
▲ ZEISS products are used in many countries around the world.
Witchayut (ZEISS): In terms of business, companies from different countries have different values, different purchasing thinking, etc. than companies from the same country doing business together.
When there are two companies with high quality and excellent technology/products, how can we get Japanese company to buy ZEISS products and a German company to buy Tokyo Seimitsu products?
This point was the beginning of a business alliance between the two companies.
Tokyo Seimitsu is the only company where we have technical partner.
ZEISS "AUKOM Training" will improve the level of measurement technicians around the world!
Witchayut: ZEISS has a training program called "AUKOM Training," which is designed to improve measurement techniques in compliance with international standards.
This is a manufacturer-independent measurement technology program. this includes the analysis of measuring instruments and measurement results. Comprehensive knowledge of physics and mathematical calculations, and basic knowledge of important standards.
At the end of the training, Participants will receive an “AUKOM” certificate that is recognized worldwide.
We not only aim to train the internal staff of both companies, but also other external personnel in the industry, so that the participants can develop their skills to become world-class measurement technicians.
