🎥 Airise SME Pilot Series | 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗔𝗜
Behind every production line is a schedule that determines how smoothly each day runs.

The fourth AIRISE in Practice interview turns to 𝗞𝗘𝗙𝗜𝗦 𝗦.𝗔., a small family owned food manufacturer based in Greece. Through the 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗔𝗜 experiment, the company explored how artificial intelligence could support production planning and scheduling in cream cheese manufacturing.

Rather than presenting AI as an instant solution, the conversation reflects on what it means for a smaller manufacturer to take a first practical step with the technology and why reliable data, clear processes and realistic expectations matter along the way.

🎥AIRISE SME Experiment Series | AVIONICS

As Oxiplant introduced MIG welding into its operations, a new challenge emerged. The company needed a reliable and automated way to assess weld quality.

That challenge became the starting point for AVIONICS. Based in Asturias, the Spanish metal services company participated in this AIRISE experiment to develop and validate an approach combining artificial intelligence and computer vision for weld inspection.

In this new AIRISE in Practice interview, Oxiplant shares what it meant to introduce AI into this area of its operations, reflecting on its initial expectations and on the technical and organisational learning gained along the way.

Airise 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 | Trondheim, Norway📍
Today marks the start of the General Assembly, taking place on 16 and 17 June at SINTEF, in Trondheim.

During these two days, project partners are gathering to review the progress achieved over the last six months, assess the current status of ongoing activities, and define the next steps for the project.

✅A key focus of this General Assembly is the discussion of exploitation activities, ensuring that AIRISE outcomes continue to generate impact and create value for European industry through the adoption of Artificial Intelligence solutions.

The meeting provides an important opportunity for , knowledge sharing, and alignment on future priorities as the project moves forward.

27/04/2026

Artificial Intelligence is already creating a measurable impact for European manufacturing SMEs.

Through AIRISE, companies are testing AI solutions in real industrial environments — from robotic design and textile quality control to CNC machining, eco-friendly product design, traditional cheese production and natural ingredient optimisation.

Each Airise application case starts with a concrete SME challenge and follows a practical path: defining the problem, implementing an AI-based solution, measuring the results and identifying future opportunities for scale-up.

One example is robnAI, where AI-driven optimisation supported the redesign of robotic components, leading to:
✅ 50% mass reduction
✅ up to 65% production cost reduction
✅ faster design cycles
✅ simplified manufacturing processes

Other experiments have shown how AI can help SMEs reduce waste, save energy and water, improve product quality, support operators and strengthen competitiveness.

The message is clear: AI adoption does not need to start with a large transformation programme. It can begin with one specific challenge — and grow from there.

Is your SME ready to explore AI?
Start with the AIRISE Readiness Assessment and identify your company’s opportunities, gaps and next steps.
