Compatible and patented software solutions “AWV” (for
automatic “Werkzeugvermessung” or “tool measurement”)
and “Multivision” by ZOLLER were the first image processing
and tool measuring systems in the world in
1992
. User
independent, fully automatic, and precise down to the μm
even at that time, these programs laid the groundwork for
our unparalleled »pilot« software today. “Multivision” and
“AWV” were expanded over the years and new versions were
brought to market.
The tool management solution “Tool Brain”
was introduced at the second EMO in Hanover
in
1981
, and its successor “Super Brain” was
introduced at the next EMO in
1985
.

“ZOLLER has been developing
software for as long as there
have been computers!”
Christoph Zoller, ZOLLER Managing Director
In grinding and sharpening companies, automotive companies or tool
manufacturers, in the middle of the production process or at shipping
and receiving, in a large or small company, today there’s a ZOLLER soft
ware solution for every application. Our first step in this comprehensive
direction was while using a Commodore computer in
1977
. ZOLLER was
testing the potential of the new software technology when it was barely
out on the market, starting with software development. The result was
the first ZOLLER tool management program, which was continuously
redeveloped over subsequent years in response to enormous demand.
