Zeiss and CleanControlling, a leading test laboratory for technical cleanliness, signed a cooperation agreement in April. The goal of the cooperation is to optimize products and industrial analysis techniques, and to set new market standards.

In automotive, aviation/aerospace and medical technology, technical cleanliness has for many years played a critical role in guaranteeing the functionality and lifespan of sensitive components. Due to the increasing miniaturization and complexity of products, cleanliness measures have become indispensable in other industries as well. This requires an adaptation of technical cleanliness standards for different industry branches.

CleanControlling has helped companies implement technical cleanliness standards since 2006. “As a laboratory, manufacturer and consulting firm, we are very close to the customer and know exactly what challenges they have to overcome in technical cleanliness,” says Volker Burger, CEO of CleanControlling. As part of this cooperation, Zeiss will benefit in particular from the close cooperation between CleanControlling and its customers and their experiences in using Zeiss solutions.

“With the feedback we get from this important market player, we will be able to orient our products and solutions in the field of technical cleanliness even faster and more efficiently to the needs of our customers in the future,” said Werner Renz, product marketing manager at Zeiss Industrial Microscopy Solutions

As a result, companies will soon have even more pre-configured and optimally assembled solution packages at their disposal for different application cases.

As a result of the cooperation with Zeiss, CleanControlling will get access to solutions that take particle analysis to a whole new level, thanks in part to the use of machine learning. CleanControlling believes that the automation of analysis steps will lead to significant productivity gains and key information insights. Zeiss and CleanControlling concur that their partnership will allow them to set new and leading standards in the field of technical cleanliness.
