With all the daily AI news, it’s easy to get the impression that many potentials have already been realized. However, when you look at practice, a different picture often emerges: 𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲.

Marius Zimmermann shares a real use case from the mechanical engineering sector—not a showcase, but a solution with measurable impact.

👉 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲:
Our client Rovema GmbH is an internationally leading manufacturer of packaging machines. In aftersales, searching for spare parts requires expert knowledge and research across various systems—tying up time in daily operations. This is exactly where the ROVEMA team started working with us: Within just a few weeks, we developed an AI-powered pilot application that enables searching through numerous systems and thousands of spare parts with a single query.

💡 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: Up to 70% less search/processing time per request.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 – 𝟯 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁:

2️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻, 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆: Even a pilot application should deliver real value from day one that helps in daily operations—not a tech demo, but an application.
3️⃣ 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 & 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: Measure time savings and acceptance, and quickly incorporate feedback into the next iteration.

Once again, many thanks for the excellent collaboration to Emre Erbay and Jannik Jochim with their team!
