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?

GenAI is one of the most important technological developments in the world in recent years. It offers companies new opportunities and also entails risks. In the DACH region, there are regulatory uncertainties around the integration of generative AI into business models and processes. This blog post is about the opportunities and risks of the technology and proven strategies for safe and responsible use. The goal is to help customers get the most out of it.

Customer surveys provide valuable insights – but evaluating open responses is often a laborious and confusing process. In my blog post, I explain how insurance companies and pension providers in company pension schemes can use AI-supported semantic analysis to efficiently analyse feedback from their target groups, identify patterns and derive targeted improvements. Find out how AI can help you better understand the voice of your customers and make your company pension offers even more successful.

In the first part of the blog post, the threats to freight exchanges from competition and digital transformation were analysed. In this part, I present an innovative, AI-powered concept for revitalising digital marketplaces for shippers and carriers. Find out more about how this model could fundamentally change road freight transport, what hurdles it needs to overcome and how it affects competition.

Freight exchanges are facing new challenges as a result of the digital transformation. The first part of this two-part blog post highlights how the market is changing as a result of increasing complexity, innovative business models and growing competitive pressure. I analyse the impact of the VUCA world on established players, niche providers and new competitors, and show which trends are shaping competitive and user behaviour.

An objective view of developments is essential for the strategic direction of the industry. In addition to economic parameters such as interest rate development, economic growth, employment and investment, regulatory conditions and technological innovations are integral components of a successful business policy orientation for banks. In my blog post, I provide an outlook on the trends that will be driving banks in 2025 and show how technologies and innovations in the banking business are driving the transformation of the industry.

The energy sector is facing major challenges: increasing demand, pressure to decarbonise and volatile prices. Artificial intelligence, in particular generative knowledge agents, offers solutions here. These assistants link knowledge with external factors, enabling more precise forecasts and fact-based decisions, reducing risks, optimising maintenance and increasing operational efficiency. In this article, I will show how GKAs can change the energy industry.

Prompts drive thinking, writing, and creativity – in school, at work, or when using AI. The art of formulating clear and effective prompts can be crucial, whether in the classroom or when working with language models. A well-designed prompt guides responses, sets clear expectations, and invites reflection. This blog post shows how ‘prompt engineering’ is a creative, cognitive approach to helping people and machines perform at their best.

Regulation is driving AI-based innovations in banking! Even if, at first glance, regulation with its strict rules and requirements is perceived as a brake on innovation, in many cases it sets the rules that ensure legal certainty and orientation. In this blog post, I will take a closer look at the impulses from a regulatory perspective that strengthen this symbiosis.
