Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Transforming Production with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Processdata only realizes its value once it is structured, contextualized, and made usable for AI applications.

– Andreas Schadt, CEO

Artificial Intelligence (AI) opens new possibilities for making production processes more efficient, safer, and future-proof. SpiraTec supports companies throughout the entire lifecycle – from identifying suitable use cases to developing and integrating intelligent solutions, all the way through to operation and scaling. With our combination of process know-how, automation expertise, and AI expertise, our goal is to create measurable added value for plants, processes, and companies.

We are convinced that data is the foundation of modern industries. That is why we support companies in creating an AI-enabled data foundation and leveraging its potential in a targeted manner. From the initial idea through proofs of concept and custom AI models to the integration of established AI applications, we accompany our customers as a vendor-neutral partner on their journey toward intelligent production.

For us, customer benefit and maximum security are our top priorities. That is why we ensure the highest standards in data and information protection. For our customers, we rely on AI “Made in the EU” in our own SpiraTec AI solutions. At the same time, we work closely with our international partners and their established AI applications. This is how we create long-term value for our customers.

AI in all its dimensions

AI-Agents

AI agents step in where traditional automation reaches its limits. SpiraTec’s agent systems analyze large volumes of sensor data around the clock and continuously learn. As autonomous, adaptive industrial systems, they independently monitor processes and actively support operators in decision-making while taking over repetitive tasks.

AI Model Development

Robust AI is based on the interplay of processed data, a systematic approach, and industry and domain expertise. The development of AI models is an iterative process that combines various building blocks into a cohesive whole. SpiraTec acts as a navigator and system architect in this process, offering vendor-neutral solutions as a one-stop-shop with data sovereignty—either on-premises or in the private cloud.

AI Proofs of Concept (POCs) and Strategy

An overarching AI strategy, for example in the form of roadmaps, lays the foundation for the long-term, goal-oriented use of AI within an organization. It defines clear areas of action, prioritizes initiatives, and provides guidance for the successful implementation and scaling of AI applications.

We view AI not only as a tool but also as an enabler for structured, data-driven decisions and future-proof optimization. Based on structured and contextualized data, the targeted use of AI helps improve information, data, and product quality across the entire organization.

POCs deliver speed and insights, while the AI strategy provides direction and enables scaling. In particular, AI POCs often allow specific use cases to be evaluated for their respective business impact quickly and without the need for significant resources.

CNN and LLM/SLM

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are powerful AI models that reliably recognize patterns, objects, and structures in complex data. As such, they form a central technological foundation for the automation of industrial processes. Thanks to their ability to learn from large volumes of data, CNN-based AI systems support event prediction, anomaly detection, and informed decision-making. This enables you to unlock automation potential in areas of the business that were previously difficult or impossible to automate using traditional approaches. The results are more efficient processes, higher quality, and new opportunities for the digital optimization of production and operations.

When combined with Large Language Models (LLM) or Small Language Models (SLM), which are optimized for specific domain tasks, powerful and robust solutions are created. With this, our services are specifically addressed to regulated, safety-critical environments where data sovereignty and reproducibility are particularly important.

Physical AI

Physical AI connects artificial intelligence with the real world. This gives rise to robots, machines, and systems that can perceive their environment, adapt to it, and make decisions independently. Through continuous learning, they dynamically adjust their behavior to changing conditions and act with increasing autonomy. The application areas of Physical AI range from autonomous inspection and service robots to adaptive actuator control. SpiraTec supports companies in successfully tapping into the potential of Physical AI—from identifying suitable use cases through technical implementation to productive deployment. In this way, innovative technologies become a sustainable competitive advantage for their systems and processes.
