Concrete examples

What a mini-project looks like

During the Scan phase, we define the specific use cases for your situation. Here are representative examples of what a Proof mini-project looks like in practice.

Manufacturing

AI quality inspection

AI-powered visual inspection identifies defective products in real time on the production line — reducing scrap rates by 15–30% within 8 weeks.

Supply Chain

Demand planning uplift

Combining internal sales data with external signals (weather, promotions, market indices) to improve forecast accuracy by 20–35%, reducing safety stock requirements.

Service

Predictive maintenance rollout

Using machine sensor data and historical failure patterns to shift from scheduled to condition-based maintenance — cutting unplanned downtime by 25–40%.

Finance & Procurement

IT contract optimisation

AI analysis of IT contracts identifying €300K–800K in savings through pricing disparities, unused licences and renewal optimisation — within 6 weeks.

Commercial

Pricing optimisation

AI recommendations on optimal pricing per product and customer segment — improving gross margin by 1–3 percentage points without volume impact.

HR

Shopfloor knowledge capture

AI platform capturing expert operator knowledge and making it available at the point of execution — reducing onboarding time by 40% and quality incidents by 20%.
