Case studies
From mid-sized family businesses to corporate environments. Excerpts from our work on data foundations, analysis, automation and energy.
Plastics processing
Heterogeneous controllers connected over OPC UA and Modbus, historised as time series with shared semantics for ERP, maintenance and quality. Process and quality data now come from one source — a drift shows up while it can still be corrected. Reporting stopped being a separate task.
Food industry
Feasibility study in Visual Components, then a DOBOT palletising cell at the end of the line connected to the existing data foundation. Cycle time and layer pattern were proven before ordering.
Metalworking
Energy data from meters and machines was joined with order data. Management sees unit cost including energy, production management sees load peaks in real time.
Battery storage
An industrial storage system of 17 MWh alongside a PV array of 3 MWp peak. How it charges and discharges is not decided by rules of thumb but from three sources at once: the measured load profile, the weather forecast and exchange prices. We contributed on the data side — making sure those three line up in time and that the control logic runs on figures it can rely on.
Recycling
Whether an AI camera reliably tells apart what needs telling apart in a running material stream is not something a datasheet can answer. Using the Cognex starter kit for AI cameras, we tested it on real material before anyone decided on a plant. The result is a defensible statement of what this class of camera does in this application — and where its limit is.

An e-mail address is enough. We come back once with a short read on it — no newsletter.
Describe your production in a few lines. If we have had a comparable case, we will tell you what transfers — and what does not.
