KOMOS at the pro­duc­tion days in Erfurt in 2026

Incre­asing effi­ci­en­cy wit­hout lar­ge invest­ments: How trans­pa­ren­cy and AI are chan­ging pro­duc­tion

On April 14, 2026, KOMOS GmbH will be part of the pro­duc­tion days in Erfurt. Stef­fen Tetzlaff, plant mana­ger at KOMOS, will show in his pre­sen­ta­ti­on how com­pa­nies unlock effi­ci­en­cy poten­ti­al – wit­hout having to imme­dia­te­ly invest in new machi­nes.

Trans­pa­ren­cy as the foun­da­ti­on for effi­ci­ent pro­duc­tion

At KOMOS, the start­ing situa­ti­on was the same as in many pro­duc­tion com­pa­nies: data exis­ted – but was not usable. Decis­i­ons were based on expe­ri­ence; pro­blems were detec­ted too late; pro­ces­ses remain­ed opaque.

The KOMOS app has been desi­gned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly as a digi­tal work­place plat­form for this pur­po­se. Sin­ce then, con­sis­tent trans­pa­ren­cy has been crea­ted regar­ding:

  • Qua­li­ty data and test­ing pro­ces­ses
  • Tool and equip­ment con­di­ti­ons
  • Mate­ri­al flows and stocks
  • Pro­duc­tion and decis­i­on-making pro­ces­ses

The result: Dead­locks are pre­dic­ta­ble, qua­li­ty is imme­dia­te­ly visi­ble, and decis­i­ons are fas­ter and more infor­med.

The next step: From visi­bi­li­ty to pre­dic­ta­bi­li­ty

Based on this trans­pa­ren­cy, KOMOS is taking a cru­cial step for­ward. With Cen­trum AI, data is not only eva­lua­ted but actively used to con­trol pro­duc­tion and sup­p­ly chain pro­ces­ses.

Spe­ci­fic use cases:

  • Detec­tion of sup­p­ly and mate­ri­al shorta­ges befo­re they affect pro­duc­tion
  • Sta­bi­liza­ti­on of mate­ri­al flows despi­te fluc­tua­ting avai­la­bi­li­ty
  • Fore­cast of capa­ci­ty requi­re­ments for infor­med invest­ment decis­i­ons
  • Reduc­tion of voting effort in com­plex sup­pli­er struc­tures

This trans­forms trans­pa­ren­cy into real value crea­ti­on.

Prac­ti­cal report from the plant

The pre­sen­ta­ti­on is based on con­cre­te expe­ri­en­ces from pro­duc­tion at KOMOS and shows:

  • How to rea­li­ze effi­ci­en­cy poten­ti­al wit­hout lar­ge invest­ments
  • What role do data disci­pli­ne and sys­tem logic play?
  • Why tech­no­lo­gy alo­ne is not enough
  • and how employees are actively invol­ved in the trans­for­ma­ti­on

Invi­ta­ti­on to the pro­duc­tion days in 2026 in Erfurt

The pro­duc­tion days offer a plat­form for exch­an­ge bet­ween indus­try, rese­arch and prac­ti­ce – with a clear focus on imple­men­ta­ble solu­ti­ons.
