AI use cases
Predictive Maintenance
AI detects machine failures 2–4 weeks before they happen. Sensor data is continuously analyzed.
AI Production Planning
Automatic capacity planning, delivery date calculation and sequence optimization.
Vision-AI Quality Control
Camera-based AI detects defects in real time — faster and more reliably than manual inspection.
AI Quote Calculation
AI calculates prices based on historical orders, material costs and capacity in seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Is AI suitable for smaller mechanical engineering companies (< 50 employees)?
Yes. Companies with 20–100 employees benefit disproportionately, because AI takes over manual processes that would otherwise require skilled staff.
Which machine data do I need for predictive maintenance?
Simple sensors (temperature, vibration, power consumption) are generally enough. We help with sensor selection and integration into your existing PLC/SCADA infrastructure.
Is BAFA funding also available for mechanical engineering SMEs?
Yes. All SMEs (< 250 employees, < EUR 50M revenue) are eligible — regardless of industry. As BAFA consultant #213652 we support the full application process.
