Customer story · BASS GmbH
How BASS cut scrap by 45% using AI on the shop floor.
Toolmaker from Niederstetten, Germany — 170 employees, 6 months in practice. The story.
Tap to play with sound.
In the thread-grinding team at BASS, an AI idea turned into measurable ROI within six months. Here's how the pilot ran — and why management is now rolling Teamo AI out company-wide.
The starting point
In the thread-grinding team, 13 people worked on highly specialized tools. Machine problems were often spotted too late. Improvement ideas faded away in informal conversations. Knowledge stayed with individuals instead of circulating in the team.
The setup
Teamo AI was connected to the existing communication channels within a few days — WhatsApp, no new app, no employee training. Everyone on the team could send problems, improvement ideas and knowledge questions straight to Teamo AI. Shift leads and management received structured briefings every day.
With Teamo AI we turn missing feedback, isolated work and scattered knowledge into real collaboration and measurable results. Personally, Teamo AI helps me prioritize, which makes my leadership more effective.
The result
CIP measures quadrupled. Scrap was almost halved. Setup and downtime dropped measurably. After 6 months of pilot operation, management decided to roll out Teamo AI company-wide — now across nearly 170 people.
What was possible at BASS is possible for you too, if:
- You run a manufacturing or production operation with 30 to 500 employees
- You know that AI is relevant for your business — and you're looking for a concrete entry point with provable ROI
- You're ready to validate together with us in a 6-month pilot before rolling out company-wide
Teamo AI is set up once by us together with your IT — permissions, data connection, first workflows. From then on, your key people extend the system by voice, without programming, without IT help.
