Next-Level Manufacturing with AI: Three AI-based Use Cases and their Lessons Learned


AI in production is moving from isolated analytics toward systems that better plan, decide and optimise. The talk presents three industrial use cases, showing how to implement them, what value they create and what effort lies behind them:

  • LLM-Agents in factory and layout planning speed up e.g. the creation of layouts and simulation models, even in brownfield sites. 
  • AI-driven scheduling cuts planning effort from hours to seconds and increases utilisation by about 10%.
  • Causal AI for root-cause analysis identifies the true drivers of defects instead of mere correlations.


The speaker Mr. Merlin Korth is pleased to share his experiences with everyone who is interested.
