Examples of using artificial intelligence in business
Replace repeated activities with automation, detect anomalies in systems as well as human behavior, and make decisions faster and more accurately. Today and in the future.
Draw inspiration from examples of how AI and ML are used in business processes, and drive innovation in your company’s management and operations.
Artificial intelligence in manufacturing and logistics
Warehousers have a precise plan for how to prepare the loading dock to maximize its utilization.
Customers know, in real time, when their shipment will arrive at its destination.
In the event of a sudden disruption, production can be rescheduled during operations.
Use AI to optimize your manufacturing and logistics processes.
Expectations and project objectives:
- Reduce costs for logistics and inter-warehouse transport
- Predict and minimize CO2 emissions
- Reduce packaging material and decrease the empty space ratio in packages and shipping containers
- Streamline planning and scheduling systems (work shifts, production, logistics routes, etc.) with ad-hoc rescheduling capability
“Together with our strategic partner, Blindspot AI from the Adastra Group, we developed the OPTIKON system to overcome our challenges with loading pallets into containers. Thanks to the proactive and highly professional approach taken by the experts from Blindspot, it required a very short time for us to develop and deploy the algorithms taking all our needs and the constraints related to loading into consideration.”
Artificial intelligence in finance, telco and other services
Responses to clients’ frequently asked questions are automated.
Data are extracted from documents and verified in real time.
Insurance fraud is detected more reliably. Work is planned using fewer operators than previously.
Use AI to improve processes and services for clients in banking, insurance, finance, public institutions, telecommunications companies, and others.
Expectations and project objectives:
- Streamline the shift planning and scheduling system with ad-hoc rescheduling capability
- Automate customer support – from onboarding to chatbots and virtual assistants
- Detect fraud and suspicious behavior in large and complex systems
“Thanks to Blindspot AI (a member of the Adastra Group), we have realized how to unlock the power of data and artificial intelligence. The experience with data on insurance claims was particularly helpful, as it demonstrated how we can leverage machine learning algorithms to strengthen our fraud detection process.”
Artificial intelligence in retail
Long queues at the tills are no more – customers are checked out without having to wait.
The same number of staff can process e-shop deliveries in less time.
Shift understaffing is resolved quickly by rescheduling workers.
Suspicious customer and staff behavior in the store is detected rapidly.
Use AI to improve your store’s customer service.
Expectations and project objectives:
- Streamline the planning and scheduling systems for work shifts and logistics routes with ad-hoc rescheduling capability
- Automate customer support using chatbots and virtual assistants
- Detect fraud, anomalies, suspicious activity and unwanted behavior
“A leading Czech online grocery store increased the average shopping cart value by 10% and reduced shopping time by 15%. We developed a predictive algorithm for them that can prepopulate regular customers’ shopping carts based on their previous purchases, thus improving the customer experience.”
Artificial intelligence in occupational safety
Unauthorized entry into a demarcated area is detected quickly.
Enhancing workplace safety makes real-time alerts possible, for example, about non-compliance with established regulations (e.g., using protective equipment), anomalous behaviors and events (e.g., a fall or a fire).
Use AI to ensure safe and smooth operations.
Expectations and project objectives:
- Increase occupational safety
- Automate the detection of anomalies, suspicious activity, and unwanted behavior
“An anomaly-detection platform helps give a major car manufacturer early warning of potential faults and predict time windows for press line maintenance. As a result, we have reduced idle time and maintenance costs by at least 20%.”
Prediction using artificial intelligence
What will sales be like in the coming period?
What products will be in demand?
How will the complaint situation develop?
We can accurately predict how the whole group will behave even from data from a small group of customers, respondents, or visitors.
Use the predictive capabilities of AI and have the information you need to make decisions before an event occurs.
Expectations and project goals:
- Preparing a production plan for the coming years.
- Predicting sales, orders, or consumption of a particular product range.
- Inventory optimization.
- Optimization of warehouse and inter-warehouse logistics.
- Predicting failure rates and planning maintenance of equipment.
“Our method can predict very accurately from a small sample what the rest will look like. So the election is a demonstration for us, a demonstration of what AI can do. But we apply these methods primarily in business, where we have them well tested.”

2. Enterprise and external data
Various data streams from different systems serve as the input source for AI to detect anomalies.
Based on all the available data, new types of anomalous patterns are discovered.
3. Visualization
The detected anomalies are reported and presented in a user-friendly manner that allows further analysis focused exclusively on relevant cases.
4. Continuous improvement
Users can provide feedback, regulate the number of anomalies received, and also teach the system to better distinguish between what is anomalous and what is not.
ML FDS: Use machine learning to protect against fraud
The ML FDS (Machine Learning Fraud Detection System) dynamically detects fraudulent behavior. It will complement your existing lines of defense with machine learning and help you identify new forms of deceit.
