ZeissMeasure

The initial brief explored a fast lane for measurement tasks. Visits to DigiZ Aalen, the ZEISS showroom and an SPU production unit revealed a broader coordination problem: orders arrived on paper or through conversation, while machine status was visible mainly at the machines themselves. These observations guided the concept towards a shared management interface for planning work and following its progress.

The proposed workflow connects the arrival of a physical part with its digital measurement order. Import and QR identification provide entry points, while physical and virtual queues distinguish parts already present from work still being prepared. Order details and priorities give technicians a basis for scheduling. The interface keeps these stages visible instead of treating every queued item as equally ready for measurement.

Live measurement views and warnings respond to the need to check progress without standing beside a machine. The concept also considers different permissions for the people entering and managing orders. Discussions with ZEISS contacts and the supervising professor informed the proposal. Integration into an operational measurement environment remained a next step.
