Leveraging Azure high-performance computing, AI, and IoT services, ZEISS will work with Microsoft to provide original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with new quality management solutions, enable microchip manufacturers to build more powerful, energy-efficient microchips, and deliver new digital healthcare solutions for improved clinical workflows, enhanced treatments, and device maintenance, the news release said.
Microsoft's datacenter regions around the globe help meet the regional needs of ZEISS' customers while delivering against high security, privacy and resiliency standards, the announcement said.
ZEISS will build on Microsoft's experience in software development to grow its own digital capabilities while helping Microsoft enhance its customer-driven product innovation through "deep industry insights," the announcement added.
The ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology segment (SMT) enables chip manufacturers worldwide to produce smaller, more powerful, more affordable and more energy-efficient microchips that are used in essentially every technical device today, according to the news release.
"Harnessing the power of Microsoft's cloud, AI and IoT services, ZEISS is transforming into a leading digital services provider," said Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice President of the Cloud and AI group in Microsoft.
"We are proud to join forces with Microsoft in our quest to apply precision optics, IoT capabilities, artificial intelligence and machine learning to the most demanding processes in healthcare and manufacturing," said Karl Lamprecht, ZEISS President and CEO.
