eschbach has been honoured at the 10th edition of the IoT Breakthrough Awards for the AI-powered solution SAMI Chat, part of its Shiftconnector platform.
SAMI Chat was developed to transform pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing. The AI captures institutional knowledge and translates complex plant data into concrete action recommendations for production teams. Employees on the shop floor can, for example, identify the causes of quality and process deviations within seconds and therefore make informed decisions more quickly. This enables more efficient control of production processes and drives continuous improvement in plant operations.
“Innovation is etched into the DNA of eschbach, and winning the IoT Breakthrough Award for SAMI Chat is powerful validation that we are successfully pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in manufacturing,” said Andreas Eschbach, founder and CEO of eschbach. “This achievement reflects our team’s vision: by focusing on simple, intuitive user experiences, we unlock deep institutional knowledge and enable a new level of operational excellence across the process industries.”
SAMI Chat was developed in collaboration with leading pharmaceutical and chemical companies and represents the next generation of industrial efficiency. It is more than an AI assistant: SAMI Chat acts as a digital assistant that allows users to ask questions in natural language and analyse complex production data within seconds.
This provides precise answers, for example about the causes of recurring equipment failure or opportunities for continuous process optimisation. By making decades of accumulated institutional knowledge both accessible and digestible in seconds, SAMI Chat helps shop floor teams make faster, more informed, safer, and better decisions.
The IoT Breakthrough Awards recognise innovation and technology that push boundaries and inspire progress across the industry. The program highlights companies and products that accelerate advancements in IoT through collaboration and discussion.
