With its high-tech prosthetics, Icelandic company Össur would like to enable people to live without limitations. The company manufactures most of the components for the artificial limbs at its own production facilities in Reykjavik. To ensure the quality of the highly complex prosthetics, Össur uses two coordinate measuring machines from ZEISS in production. All measured data is gathered in PiWeb software, which generates analyses and documentation at the push of a button.
