Zoller PILOT 3.0 Software

Zoller Software 3.0 ZOLLER pilot

Re-defining intelligence
Modern technology requires both impressive hardware and software to successfully deliver maximum performance and premium quality. And it is the effectíve ínterplay between hardware and software that will determine the intelligence of a machine such as a fully automatic presetter and measuring machine. A system that will deliver users with precisely what is beíng sought a way to work more effectívely and efficiently. 
intelligent machine control .
ZOLLER pilot ís the natural successor to the well renowned and highly regarded saturn software and image processing system, which was previously produced by ZOLLER. Featuring intuitíve controls that can be operated easíly, quickly and error-free by any employee, this precisely meets the needs of the production processes of both today and tomorrow. The
new design is based on the very latest insights ínto the area of man-machine interaction MMI . And it will also deliver you improved and quicker functionality, makíng pilot a genuine leadíng force ín the development of intelligent machine controls. 
Customízed to meet your specifíc requírements The system of software modules, including ZOLLER
image processing technologies has been entírely redeveloped. Consequently this empowers you wíth the opportunity of selectíng the optimum components and modules that will meet the specifíc requirements of your individual productíon processes. Therefore, pilot will remain streamlined and easy to operate and you will only need to invest in those functions that you really need, meaning that you can achíeve your
specific requirements.

People developing new opportunitíes for people short dístances and close cooperatíon among all developers result in well thought out solutions that
function smoothly. 
Delivering comprehensíve know-how
A machine controller is not only developed for the machines that it
controls, it is also developed for the people working with that machine.
Successfully achieving the references and requirements based on your
daily operations represent the standard by which an intelligent control-
1er is measured. And the standards of ZOLLER could not be any higher
we have more than 60 years of experience in the field of ineasuring
technology. Combine this with the considerable know-how we have
gained through development, utilization and service and you can see
why ZOLLER is aЬ1e to continually surpass our own high standards as
demonstrated with the pilot ,

The professional ZOLLER software teams
pilot is fu11y supported by people who work with the goal of
delivering the easy, user-friendly operation and long-term sustainability
of ZOLLER tool presetter and measuring machines. Various teams of
specialists work on the implementation of new technologies, including
Microsoft .net Framework technology, Unicode support for internatíonal
applications or the development of unique innovations such as the elephant technology for further informatíon, see page 10 .
