The company-wide AI rollout received an additional boost from a hackathon. More than 1,500 employees from all business units attended the event. The goal was to independently develop ideas for AI and automation applications. Participants worked on concrete use cases to integrate AI and automation directly into their daily work.

Furthermore, the hackathon served to gather creative input directly from employees and translate it into practice. The best and most powerful concepts from the competition are to be implemented within the company. The plan is to implement AI workflows in all key business areas, namely in development, production, sales, financial services, human resources, and IT.

Modular architecture

Another characteristic of AI workflows is their connection and coordination across existing IT systems to simplify complex processes. In addition to classic automation methods, new approaches using AI agents are being specifically pursued. Last but not least, the workflows are designed to support teams in solving problems faster and making decisions based on data.
