AI Assessment for Manufacturing Companies
Cut through the AI hype: In 4 weeks, you'll know exactly which AI projects deliver real value in production.

Your competitors already talk about their AI wins

Predictive maintenance, intelligent production control, automated quality inspection—while others are already deploying these, you may still ask: where exactly should we start? Which AI use case truly delivers value? How do we avoid costly missteps?

The reality in German mechanical engineering:
The talent shortage is forcing more automation—but which processes are the right ones?
Your production complexity rises while margins fall—where can AI provide tangible relief?
You have vast amounts of machine data—but no clear strategy for monetising it.
The window for first-mover advantages is closing. Those who identify and implement the right AI levers now will set tomorrow's standards.

Our approach: unlock AI potential systematically

No more abstract AI promises. Our AI assessment makes AI tangible—tailored to your production, your processes, your challenges.
Within just 4–6 weeks we co-create your tailored AI roadmap. No wishful thinking—concrete use cases with a clear business case. We combine hands-on experience from more than 60 AI and digital projects with the specialised manufacturing expertise of our partner NEONEX (150+ successful industry projects).
Your benefits:
  • Structured identification of AI potential with a focus on operational value
  • Clear evaluation of feasibility, effort, and business impact
  • Development of an aligned implementation roadmap as the foundation for your AI strategy
  • Combination of technology, process, and delivery expertise

Managing Director
We deliver the AI assessment for manufacturing in partnership with
Experts in processes, IT/OT technology, people, leadership, and strategy for smart operations in industrial companies, with more than 150 completed digitalisation, automation, analytics, and OPEX use cases.

Together. Successful.
This is how we work together.

1
Scoping & current-state analysis

During the kick-off we clarify objectives, brief the project team, and jointly define the scope of analysis. In parallel we assess data availability and quality along the relevant end-to-end processes—typically order fulfilment.

2
Potential assessment

Within one week we work with your core team to systematically identify concrete opportunities for AI—e.g. to increase transparency, automation, or forecasting accuracy. We focus on clearly defined operational challenges with realistic solution paths.

3
Concept development

For the top opportunities we create standardised one-pagers outlining the problem statement, objectives, technical approach, and expected benefit—plus measurable KPIs and rough time/effort estimates.

4
Evaluation & prioritisation

Using agreed criteria (e.g. business impact, feasibility, data availability) we evaluate the use cases together. This results in a well-founded prioritisation—split into “quick wins” and strategic levers.

5
Roadmap development

Finally we develop a realistic, phased roadmap to implement the prioritised use cases. The roadmap spans short-term pilots and medium-term initiatives—aligned with your resources, goals, and IT landscape.

Our consulting team supports you personally and reliably throughout the entire process—from the first idea to a successful go-live.
