ZEISS unveils AI-powered Research Data Platform; collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim champions the future of personalized eye care
ZEISS demonstrates a new standard for the future of ophthalmic research at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) conference, from May 4 – 8, including the introduction of the new ZEISS Research Data Platform (ZEISS RDP), and a spotlight on the ongoing research collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim to accelerate personalized, data-driven treatment approaches in ophthalmology.
The Death of Tactile Quality Control
Not long ago, quality assurance in aerospace was a narrow, hands-on process. Inspectors would physically verify installations: feeling the torque on bolts, tracing defects to their origin, and leaving behind ink-smudged paperwork as evidence of accountability. It was tactile, deliberate, and sometimes slower—but it worked.
