Our Experience in AI & Manufacturing
We have worked with the earliest versions of OpenAI's GPT models at BMW. Since then we have used AI and AI agents to improve engineering processes, either directly through automation, or indirectly by providing the right insights at the right time.
Our experience in industrial automation, QA, and the manufacturing domain in general, make it possible for us to combine these tools into a powerful platform. But also, to start with the right use cases and prove that AI can add value.
At Siemens, we built a sales-supporting AI tool that suggests the right actions for each sales manager, derived from a massive graph of customers, OEMs, industry news, and internal data.
