Despite state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, production planning is often still surprisingly analogue. AI and GenAI have long offered the potential to automate complex planning processes, make them more efficient and save valuable resources. In my blog post, I show how the maximum priority graph is replacing old ways of thinking and paving the way for data-driven, adaptive planning.

How can highly complex product variants be transferred efficiently and error-free to order processing? This blog post shows how Configit Ace™ and the adesso FIRE Framework work together to provide an end-to-end solution – from the initial configuration idea to the finished production order. ‘From Idea to Operations’ thus becomes a reality in the manufacturing industry.

The Speaking Machine use case is a GenAI showcase. The integration into the com2m smart product platform is designed to provide users with a helpful AI assistant whose tasks include the following areas: querying data such as assets, data points or messages, interpreting data and providing support with troubleshooting. In this blog post, I would like to present the technical details of this showcase.

Mechanical engineering is one of the main pillars of the German economy and often stands for innovation, precision and efficiency. But despite these strengths, the industry is facing significant challenges, which we repeatedly hear about in technical discussions with our customers. In this blog post, we focus on the challenges of monitoring and maintaining machines: How can a machine be used optimally? And, if it fails, how can it be quickly put back into operation?

Customer portals bring digital services to the customer. To successfully implement or further develop a portal of this kind, the range of functions is not the only decisive criterion for success. Rather, methodology, technology and change management are equally important success factors for getting as close as possible to the vision of a holistic customer portal. Maturity levels help to successfully manage this complex transformation. Find out more in my blog post.

The increasing variety of options in industry requires innovative solutions. With the FIRE Engine and AI-supported similarity analysis, complexity can be reduced, resources optimised and configuration processes made more efficient. In this blog post, I'll show you how you can use modern technologies – for example LLM, AI and automated workflows – to increase your productivity and impress your customers.

Traceability describes the ability to seamlessly track products and their components through production. In this blog post, I use the success story of a global corporation in the field of special-purpose machine construction to show why traceability in production is so relevant, what benefits it brings and how we support its implementation.

Every day, employees struggle with manual reporting processes that cause high personnel costs, limited opportunities for process optimisation and quality deficiencies. Despite the crucial importance of KPIs for management, manual reporting processes are widespread in production. In this blog post, I explain why companies in the IIoT sector are starting with production reporting.

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been on everyone's lips, promising to revolutionise the way we work and live in all industries. IoT devices, sensors and networks have been hailed as "the next big thing". But as with any technology trend that is heavily hyped, the question arises: is the Internet of Things dead? I answer this question in my blog post.
