Shiftconnector AI Suit, which is developed as a collaborative project between eschbach and GippLab, wins the German Innovation Award 2025 in two categories, standing out of 460 submissions:
- AI Methods
- Information Technologies | Industry Specific and Service Software
SAMI (Shiftconnector Artificial Manufacturing Intelligence) spans over three functions: SAMI Search, SAMI Solutions, and SAMI Chat. SAMI helps process manufacturers facilitate faster problem resolution and better informed decision-making. The awards recognize both research and technological achievement, but also user-centric design, thereby proving value in industrial operations. The collaboration project of the Plant Assistant is driven on the GippLab side by Anastasia Zhukova, Marco Kaiser, Finn Schmidt, and Dr. Christian Matt on the Eschbach side. This project is supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) under the ZIM program on the basis of a decision by the German Bundestag.
