Projects that work in everyday use.

No glossy slides — processes that have run every day since go-live. Out of respect for our clients we name the industry and the project, but not company names. The thread stays the same: keep what works and connect it with modern technology.

CASE STUDIES

Projects in detail.

Ten detailed case studies — from the situation through our approach to the outcome in day-to-day operation.

Large touch monitor with colour-coded cards on the assembly line – digital card board
Workflow IntegrationLegacy BridgeCustom Web App

Digital card board for an automotive supplier

Colour-coded paper travelers mirrored digitally rather than replaced: the same geometry on large touch monitors — and production data lands in the ERP in real time instead of only at the end of the shift.

Precision optics at the workstation, modern portal beside old terminal – legacy ERP bridge
Legacy BridgeCloud DeploymentCustom Web App

Legacy ERP bridge for a precision-optics manufacturer

A modern customer portal on top of a closed flat-file system — without touching production's well-drilled terminal workflows. The data bridge syncs in the background.

Four plants converge over one pipeline – supply-chain orchestration
Workflow IntegrationCloud DeploymentData Architecture

Supply-chain orchestration for a plastics processor

The plants' home-grown Excel tools weren't scrapped but turned into a data source: a cloud pipeline brings four sites together into one shared forecast.

Technician logs maintenance data on the machine with a short note – field-service data capture
Custom Web AppAI & AutomationWorkflow Integration

Maintenance data from the field for plant engineering

Instead of rigid forms, a single line of text: technicians type their usual shorthand gibberish, and a parser automatically translates it into clean records in the asset register.

Custom medical-technology parts beside a configurator – quote automation
Custom Web AppWorkflow IntegrationAutomation

Quote automation for special parts in medical technology

The chief engineer's home-grown spreadsheet stayed the calculation engine — wrapped behind an API and a web assistant that sales can operate safely too.

Old loom with a retrofitted sensor – IoT retrofit without replacing machines
IoTLegacy BridgeCloud Deployment

IoT retrofit without replacing machines in a textile mill

Mechanical looms from the 1980s read digitally without conversion: OEE metrics and fault alerts in real time — without changing a single move on the shop floor.

Sterile packaging under inspection light with flagged defects – AI quality control
Computer VisionAI & AutomationWorkflow Integration

AI assistant for quality control in the packaging industry

Computer vision as an assistant, not a replacement: the system flags microscopic material defects, the inspectors keep the final word — and customer complaints dropped to zero.

Technical documents and a flagged original page on screen – AI document assistant
RAG / Knowledge SearchAI & AutomationCustom Web App

AI document assistant for the technical field service

A tightly bounded AI assistant searches four decades of technical documentation and always shows the exact original page — diagnosis time in the field dropped from around 45 minutes to under half a minute.

Shift-plan tiles with a manually locked field – AI shift planning
Custom Web AppAI & AutomationWorkflow Integration

People-centred AI shift planning in the process industry

Algorithmic optimization with a “Manual Lock” for human intuition: planning effort fell from twelve hours a week to under a quarter of an hour — without tearing apart the well-drilled teams.

Early-warning panel with a single highlighted alert – AI supply-chain risks
AI & AutomationLegacy BridgeWorkflow Integration

AI early-warning system for supply-chain risks in electronics manufacturing

Predictive analytics as an early-warning panel, not an automatic buyer: the system warned three weeks before a major freight delay — the purchasing decision stayed with the human.

Circuit board at the test bench, three fault causes on screen – AI fault analysis
AI & AutomationCustom Web App

AI-assisted fault analysis in circuit-board production

Instead of scrolling through test logs for hours, the technicians read the three most likely fault causes straight from the log — with a jump to the right spot.
