SOMA and ZERA: strong partnership for measurement technology in plant engineering

For more than two decades, SOMA and ZERA have been supplying complex and robust systems to manufacturers of industrial power electronics such as drive controllers, high-power chargers, inverters, switchgear, meters, instrument transformers and AC/DC charging stations, offering comprehensive testing solutions.

The two companies have already established joint solutions for many systems, with ZERA designing and creating the source systems and SOMA integrating them into complete systems. These robust and durable calibration and test solutions have proven themselves in use for years and provide the foundation for the partnership. For customers, this results in seamless integration of production and testing with high-precision measurement technology and reliable quality assurance.

Further advantages of the cooperation are: Professional calibration and adjustment, guaranteed traceability of measurement results, secure production processes, advanced analysis of test results, data processing, fully automated testing and calibration systems and a central point of contact for two strong companies.

"By pooling their expertise, SOMA and ZERA can offer their customers added value that goes beyond the individual services of the companies and enables innovative, customized solutions for demanding technological challenges", explains Wolfgang Thater, contact person at SOMA.

Whether plant engineering, testing technology or high-precision measurement technology - the cooperation covers the entire spectrum. "We are delighted to be setting new standards in the industry with this collaboration and opening up more extensive possibilities for our customers", adds Christian Brenncke, Head of Sales D-A-CH, ZERA.

The technical services are characterized by the highest quality and precision. ZERA's expertise in measurement technology guarantees high-precision measurements, while the professional calibration and adjustment of the measuring equipment ensures the reliability of the results. Quality assurance plays a central role, with reliable processes implemented to ensure the highest quality standards of the equipment supplied by SOMA.

Traceability and certification

One benefit of the cooperation is the guaranteed traceability of the measurement results. This traceability is of central importance for certification processes and audits, as it underpins the reliability and precision of the measurements. Customers also use this traceability as a solid foundation for their own quality management processes and certifications.

The synergy of in-depth expertise, holistic solutions and first-class technical services enables SOMA and ZERA to offer their customers significant added value.

Through this cooperation, demanding requirements in the areas of production and quality assurance can be met effectively and reliably. This leads to an optimization of processes and an increase in product quality.

The partnership thus creates the ideal conditions for meeting the complex challenges of the modern manufacturing industry while ensuring the highest quality standards. Customers benefit from this combined expertise through improved process efficiency and increased competitiveness of their products.

Optimized processes

The focus is on optimizing processes to ensure efficient and high-quality production. By integrating state-of-the-art testing and measurement technology, production processes have been significantly improved and safeguarded.

This goes hand in hand with advanced data analysis, which enables a thorough evaluation of the test results and ensures efficient data handling. To further increase efficiency, SOMA and ZERA rely on fully automated testing and calibration systems that accelerate and optimize processes.

In addition to technical excellence, we attach great importance to customer orientation. SOMA thus offers its customers a central point of contact who acts as an interface between two specialized companies. This simplifies communication considerably and enables a smooth flow of information.

In addition, SOMA understands that every customer has unique requirements. Therefore, together with ZERA, it offers customized solutions in which the systems are individually adapted to the specific needs and wishes of the customer.

Through this combination of optimized processes and a customer-oriented approach, the cooperation ensures not only the highest quality, but also maximum customer satisfaction.
