## About this market
The manufacturing work documented on this page is specific about the shop floor. elunic's AI.SEE installations run inline: surface inspection of car-body doors at thyssenkrupp Automotive Body Solutions, 360-degree inspection cells on the press-shop outfeed conveyor at voestalpine Automotive Components Schwäbisch Gmünd with continuous retraining on live images, one semi-automated test table at JentnerGroup, and a DB Cargo retrofit screening up to 400 freight wagons a day. Datamole works from machine telemetry back into the product: Lely's milking-routine personalization across 30,000-plus robots and 5 million daily sessions is reported at up to 80% fewer non-optimal milkings and 0.2 kg more milk per robot-minute, and it monitors Thermo Fisher Scientific microscopes and consolidates Agrifac sprayer telemetry. b.telligent benchmarked and ONNX-optimized Nordex's nacelle-inspection model to about one second per image and built an MLOps and drift-monitoring framework around it. Kortical's tower predictive maintenance with BT and MBNL catches 52% of failures in advance but is labeled a live pilot. Flowtale processes 100,000-plus requisitions a year for Maersk Line. Storm Technology's Kepak and ABP Food Group work is Power Platform and Solver delivery without an AI component.

For a Mittelstand plant the sorting question is who retrains the model after the line changes. Ask where inference runs, what the retraining trigger is and who owns it, then ask for the figure the write-ups leave out: elunic publishes no reject rate or payback, b.telligent no accuracy or hours saved, and Datamole's outcomes sit with one client, so ask for a reference outside agriculture.

## Questions buyers ask

### How many AI agencies work with mid-market on manufacturing?
12 agencies in our directory combine verified mid-market client evidence with documented Manufacturing work. The current top-ranked are Storm Technology, b.telligent, Kortical — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.

### How much does an AI agency cost for manufacturing?
Published rates across this page's agencies run €20–150 per hour (median ~€65). Project totals depend on scope — the rate index at /rates breaks the computed bands down by region, country and team size.

### How is mid-market experience verified on this page?
Each listed agency has at least two documented, named mid-market clients — published case studies or engagement descriptions our research actually read, with source URLs stored per client. Logo walls without published evidence carry no weight, which is what separates this list from self-declared directories.
