ZEISS PiWeb 2025.R2

Spoiled for choice: Desktop or browser application? PiWeb Monitor is now available in both versions! This makes it even easier to view and share your reports: you can simply do this in your browser and no installation is required. Even in the browser-based version, you can use most of the familiar features of the Monitor, such as interactive CAD models and form plots, statistical evaluations and the extensive filter, sorting and grouping functions for your measurement data.

With this release we provide a comprehensively extended interface in the "ZEISS PiWeb Auto Importer". With the help of plug-ins, data in any form can be easily imported. Whether file format or server – select the right data source and write plug-ins that individually map your data import using the PiWeb Auto Importer.

With this release, we are introducing a browser-based application for the management of all ZEISS PiWeb licenses. Administrators can manage licenses simply and easily in one central location and also see whether they are currently in use. The local provision of licenses for the individual modules (e.g. Monitor) is therefore no longer necessary.

With this new statistics element, the evaluations of your quality data are even more valuable. The probability plot is a graphical method that can assist in the selection of a particular distribution model. The element helps to decide whether quality data can be plausibly described by a particular distribution model.

Use the Sankey diagram to quickly identify crucial dependencies in your quality data that are normally difficult to recognize. This plot is also suitable for large amounts of data and offers a wide range of configuration options.

This year’s release focuses on connectivity and usability of our products. Two new add-ons are now available for ZEISS INSPECT users. One free add-on for existing PiWeb users who would like a fully integrated and easy-to-use interface for data upload to PiWeb. The second add-on, called ZEISS PiWeb Reporting Plus is available for purchase and allows for additional reporting capabilities, e.g., statistics & auto-reporting.

The ability to easily visualize additional measurement data such as images, CAD and deviation analyses is a lynchpin in effectively and efficiently communicating important quality information across organizational bounds. A new set of tools for the visualization and analysis of complex data sets is available now.

With the new improved hyperlink actions users can find and navigate to the relevant data quicker and more easily. It is now possible to highlight elements to show further referenced or linked characteristics in a report. This allows you to jump automatically to other pages where the same characteristic is being reported.

With the new web application, created reports can be stored and managed on the existing server infrastructure. The saved reports can then be opened and used or modified directly in the various ZEISS PiWeb applications. With Online Report Management, reports can be easily saved and shared via browser.

Additional tools are now available making it easier to integrate CAD models into reports and enable even better visualization of data using interactive CAD models, e.g. with the new "flat lighting" function, which guarantees stable colouring, or the optimized positioning of features. This saves time and brings certainty when making critical decisions.

One of the most powerful tools in ZEISS PiWeb is now even more powerful. From now on, user-defined variables can be defined according to which measurements can be sorted and filtered. Further filtering and grouping functions are also available, e.g. the grouping of individual measurements or measurement groups in measurement value tables.

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

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 user groups to quickly set up notifications for departments or responsible users.

New functionality to filter data by using AND/OR logic allows an unlimited combination of possibilities. In addition, 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.
