Build an AI Roadmap That Moves the Metrics in Just Four Weeks
AI Assessment for Industrial Companies: pragmatic, ROI-backed, and implementation-ready. Together with the manufacturing experts at NEONEX we surface the initiatives that actually pay off.
More Efficiency. Higher Quality.

Take the Next Big Efficiency Leap

We partner with industrial companies to deploy AI precisely where it lifts throughput, cuts complexity, and delivers measurable impact.
Why Leading Operations Run an Assessment:
A shrinking talent pool pushes you toward automation—yet which workflows genuinely qualify?
Your production complexity keeps climbing while margins erode— where can AI take pressure off the lines?
You capture massive volumes of machine data—but lack a clear path to monetize it.
The window for first-mover advantages is closing fast.
Deploying AI across operations unlocks the next big efficiency leap for manufacturers.
Your Potential. Reimagined.

AI Potential Unlocked Systematically

Less routine work, fewer manual checks, fewer avoidable errors across:
Production Planning
Quality Assurance
Invoice Validation
Quotation Management
Maintenance & Assembly
Order Management
But the crucial questions remain:
Where does AI create the biggest leverage?
How quickly can we put wins on the board?
What does a robust, low-friction rollout require?
Our tailored AI assessment delivers that clarity within four weeks.
Spot the right AI opportunities with a relentless focus on day-to-day value.
Crystal-clear evaluation of feasibility, effort, and business impact for every shortlisted use case.
Implementation concepts that bake in robustness, quality, and compliance from the start.
Use Cases

Examples of Concrete AI Applications

Maintenance knowledge

AI-Assisted Maintenance

AI-driven fault diagnostics shorten downtimes and strengthen institutional maintenance knowledge.
Objectives:
  • Instantly identify the most likely root cause through AI-supported analysis of alerts, sensor readings, and maintenance history.
  • Reduce downtime with guided, step-by-step troubleshooting.
  • Centralize knowledge and drive continuous improvement through systematic documentation of maintenance actions.

Together, We Deliver.
How Our Collaboration Works.

1
Scoping & Current-State Analysis

During the kick-off we align on goals, onboard the project team, and define the scope of the assessment. In parallel we review data availability and quality along the relevant end-to-end processes—typically order-to-cash.

2
Potential Assessment

Within one week we systematically identify concrete AI opportunities with your core team—for example to boost transparency, automation, or forecasting accuracy. We focus on well-defined operational challenges that have a realistic solution path.

3
Concept Development

For the top opportunities we draft standardised use-case one-pagers: problem statement, objectives, technical approach, expected value, measurable KPIs, and rough timelines as well as effort estimates.

4
Evaluation & Prioritization

Using aligned criteria (e.g., business impact, deliverability, data readiness) we assess every shortlisted use case together with your stakeholders. The outcome is a grounded prioritization that distinguishes quick wins from strategic levers.

5
Roadmap Development

Finally we build a realistic, phased delivery plan for the prioritized use cases. The roadmap spans short-term pilots and medium-term initiatives—aligned with your resources, objectives, and IT landscape.

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