Teamazing AI Helps Manufacturer Cut Waste by 45%
The Austrian startup teamazing, based in Graz, has helped German precision tool manufacturer BASS reduce its reject and rework index by about 45% in a production area. The AI platform Teamo AI connects enterprise data, operational processes, and employee knowledge. BASS developed a module called Vibe Check with teamazing, which collects employee observations and summarizes them for managers. BASS managing director Martin Zeller receives a daily summary at 6 a.m., which is then discussed in shopfloor meetings. KPMG Austria also uses Teamo AI as an alliance partner in transformation projects. The results are based on a pilot area and a comparison of eight months with four months, and BASS has signed a three-year contract with teamazing. The company received the German Excellence Prize in silver.

tesa Integrates AI into HR, Supply Chain, Production
tesa is expanding its use of artificial intelligence across its entire value chain, as detailed in a Microsoft blog post. The adhesive tape manufacturer has deployed AI in HR, supply chain, and production control. In HR, the "Ask PIA" digital assistant integrated into Microsoft Teams handles routine employee questions about parental leave, IDs, and vacation processes, drawing on SharePoint data. For supply chain, specialized AI agents route queries about forecasting, inventory, and logistics to the appropriate experts. In production, the "Energy Intelligence Platform" optimizes plant operations every 15 minutes, considering consumption forecasts, own power generation, weather, and market prices, to minimize costs and CO2. For example, combined heat and power plants are dynamically switched on or off based on economic and energetic advantages. By 2030, tesa aims to produce climate-neutrally and reduce energy costs by over ten percent, with AI to be progressively integrated into all processes.
EU Funds Austrian AR Glasses for Industrial Assistance
Two Austrian companies are participating in a new EU research project called MANUFACTOR, which aims to upgrade factory floors with sensors and AI agents. The Vienna-based deep tech company Viewpointsystem will supply AR glasses with eye tracking, while the Upper Austrian machinery and plant manufacturer Fill will provide the industrial test environment. The project runs for three years and is funded under the EU's Horizon Europe innovation program with a total budget of 6 million euros, involving 14 partners from eight European countries. The system will combine wearable sensors, XR glasses, eye tracking, 3D image sensors, AI agents, and a Human Digital Twin to provide adaptive real-time assistance to workers. The consortium aims to reduce onboarding times by over 35% and manufacturing errors by 20%, while increasing workers' confidence by more than 20%. The technology will be tested at Fill's Next World Factory, with additional pilot sites at Volkswagen Autoeuropa in Portugal and Hitachi Energy in Sweden.
AI to Detect Hospital Infections Earlier at BKH St. Johann
The Bezirkskrankenhaus (BKH) St. Johann in Tirol, Austria, is developing an AI prototype with health-tech startup Symptoma to detect hospital infections earlier. Supported by the IÖB-Toolbox funding program, the system aims to reduce manual work for the hygiene team and identify previously unrecognized infection cases. In a retrospective analysis of 2025 data, the AI prototype identified 57 cases of postoperative wound infections compared to 17 documented cases, with 40 (70%) previously undetected. The tool processes daily data and integrates lab results, temperature trends, and documentation text. Data processing occurs locally for privacy, with regulatory compliance. The project is in prototype phase, with clinical validation and certification planned before market release.
