ZEN & ZEN core integration
Our ZEN connector allows you to use your arivis Cloud assets in ZEN & ZEN core.
To use your arivis Cloud assets on ZEN & ZEN core, you either need to:
- Generate a unique access token (i.e., API key) to authenticate your account (for instance segmentation models), or
- Download your models and import them locally (for semantic segmentation models) depending on your model type
Creating an access token (i.e., API key on arivis Cloud)
- Log into arivis Cloud.
- Navigate to the left panel and click on the three dots menu next to your name. Select My Access Tokens in the drop-down menu.

- Click New Access Token.

- Provide a name, set the expiration date for your access token (i.e., API key), and click Next.

- Your access token (i.e., API key) is ready! Click on the button right next to your token to copy it. Make sure you copy the key right now. You will not be able to see it again. When you are done, click Finish.

Connecting ZEN core with your access token (i.e., API key)
- You created your access token (i.e., API key).
- Open the Maintenance tab in ZEN core and click on General Options.


- Copy your personal token into the respective API key field of the APEER tab.

Downloading your (semantic) model
If you've trained a semantic segmentation model, you'll need to download it locally to your computer to use it in the software ecosystem, including ZEN and ZEN core.
- After your semantic training is complete on arivis Cloud, go to the left panel on your account and click on My Models to access your training results.

- Find your model in the list on the My Models page, and click on it to view its details.

- To download the model, scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on Download ML Model and follow the instructions to select the correct model format.

- Once the download is complete, you can import the file into the software ecosystem, including ZEN and ZEN core.
That's it! Now you have the means to integrate your arivis Cloud assets with ZEN & ZEN core. Don't forget to explore more about how to use your models in the ZEISS ecosystem here.
