StairwAI was a Horizon 2020 Innovation Action that added a service layer to Europe's AI-on-Demand platform, guiding low-tech SMEs through a readiness check via a multilingual chatbot and matching them to the right AI tools, experts and compute resources. Three competitive open calls selected fourteen pilot experiments, proving the concept in real manufacturing and logistics settings.

Peer Stritzinger GmbH led pilot STAR_2OC_6 under the second open call. We deployed our digital twin alongside a Bosch electric-motor conveyor line, connecting it to the legacy PLC via OPC-UA and polling the line state every 20 ms . On that twin we ran an anomaly-detection-equipped, time-aware planner that can recompute routing plans when machines degrade or fail.
