AI Production Tour
Welcome to the AI Production Tour of the Swiss Smart Factory.
This is the third dedicated discovery tour of our Lighthouse Factory. It focuses on how Artificial Intelligence is already transforming industrial production today.
Unlike the other tours, which present complete production demonstrators and stations, the AI Production Tour highlights selected AI solutions and products available within the Swiss Smart Factory environment. These use cases show how AI can be applied in concrete industrial contexts, interacting with machines, processes, data, and operators on the shopfloor.
Throughout this tour, visitors explore real industrial AI use cases implemented directly within our production environment. These include generative AI, agentic AI, and physical AI applications.
The AI Production Tour demonstrates how intelligent systems can support decision-making, optimise operations, improve flexibility, and enable new forms of human-machine collaboration in modern manufacturing.
Use Case #1 – Companion by Vertical Data
Companion by Vertical Data demonstrates how Agentic AI can simplify maintenance and field reporting through WhatsApp, smartphones, and AR glasses. Operators send pictures, voice messages, and location data to automatically generate professional reports and invoices in English within minutes.

Agentic AI
Use Case #2 – Pandia
Pandia uses AI together with smartphones and high-speed cameras to monitor extremely fast industrial processes and automatically detect anomalies or quality issues in real time. The system learns process behaviour autonomously while recording.
Technology Category
Industrial AI and Computer Vision AI
Use Case #3 – AITEXA
AITEXA simplifies and accelerates the creation of P&ID engineering diagrams using AI-assisted recognition and process understanding. Users can sketch or describe a process while the system automatically generates engineering diagrams.
Technology Category
Generative AI and Engineering AI
Use Case #4 – moneo Industrial AI Assistant by ifm
The moneo Industrial AI Assistant continuously analyses industrial machine and process data to detect anomalies, identify abnormal patterns, and predict failures before they occur. Integrated into the moneo IIoT platform, it improves predictive maintenance and machine availability.
