Foundation

The Corporate LLM: the shared knowledge base.

Before individual applications can run properly, you need a clean foundation: an in-house language model that accesses your data, respects your access permissions and is operated in the EU. It is the shared knowledge base that connects individual applications and lets employees work with full context. Without this foundation, most use cases remain isolated solutions.

  • Role-based permission management
  • GDPR-compliant, operated in the EU (Azure or AWS EU region)
  • Coordination of AI agents
  • Company-wide memory
  • Integration with your existing IT systems
The ten most common use cases

What we tackle most often when we work together.

The ten use cases below are the ones that deliver most often in manufacturing companies. Behind them is my use case library with over 50 use cases, which I tailor to your company. And if the right solution is not among them, we will find it.

Personal AI assistants for employees

Every employee gets an assistant that knows your company, its processes and the relevant data. It takes over routine tasks: research, summaries, drafts.

1 to 3 hours saved per employee per day in knowledge and communication work

Knowledge management and internal Q&A

Tacit knowledge becomes accessible: technical documentation, process manuals, maintenance histories. All searchable and retrievable, without anyone having to dig through files by hand.

Less time spent searching, fewer knowledge silos. Especially important with skills shortages and staff turnover

Automated quoting and document creation

Quotes, reports, minutes and specifications are created from structured input: consistently formatted, audit-proof, in a fraction of the time it used to take.

Quoting time from days to hours, higher quality through standardisation

AI-supported production planning and forecasting

Demand forecasts, capacity planning and sequence optimisation based on historical data, seasonality and market indicators, rather than solely on the experience of individual planners.

Reduce inventory by 15 to 25%, improve delivery reliability, halve planning effort

Sales support and CRM enrichment

Customer data is enriched automatically, call notes are transcribed and analysed, follow-ups are prioritised. Sales works with better context in less time.

More time talking to customers, much better CRM data quality

Recruiting and HR processes

Job adverts, application screening, interview preparation and onboarding documents are created with AI support. Consistent quality, faster hiring.

Fill open positions 30 to 50% faster, better selection through clear criteria

Supplier and purchasing analysis

Supplier data, price histories, delivery reliability and risk indicators are evaluated continuously. Purchasing decisions rest on current data instead of outdated list prices.

Better terms, spot supplier risks earlier, less off-contract buying

AI-supported quality control

Image-based detection of manufacturing defects, automated inspection reports and statistical process control. In real time, with a higher detection rate than visual inspection.

Cut the scrap rate by up to 50%, less rework and lower complaint costs

Predictive maintenance

Machine data and sensor signals are analysed before problems arise. Maintenance happens when it is needed rather than by the calendar. Unplanned downtime drops measurably.

Cut unplanned downtime by 20 to 40%, optimise maintenance costs

Finance and controlling cockpit

Monthly reports, variance analyses and liquidity forecasts are generated automatically, with commentary in natural language and early warnings on critical figures.

Cut reporting effort by 60 to 80%, decisions based on same-day figures

Your company

Which of these apply to your company? That is what we clarify in an initial consultation.

30 minutes, free of charge. You get an honest assessment of where the biggest financial lever lies and which prerequisites are already in place.
