At the heart of the partnership is the Squirro Enterprise AI platform. It will expand Bühler's growing AI ecosystem and support the company in addressing complex initiatives while advancing its goal of "Digital Excellence by 2030."

Squirro is a strategic technology partner of Bühler. In this role, the company supports the standard integration of many enterprise solutions and will also integrate Bühler's proven application architecture to improve connectivity, insights, decision-making, and efficiency.

The collaboration between the two companies is based on a shared commitment to trust, governance, and security in the field of generative AI. According to Squirro, its platform is also used in highly regulated industries, as it ensures the highest security and compliance standards and adheres to the human-in-the-loop principle. This approach aligns with Bühler's global corporate standards and AI landscape. The Swiss origin of both companies contributes to a shared understanding of responsibility and conscientiousness in the use of AI across all Bühler's business areas.

Advancing Digital Excellence in Practice

As part of this initiative, Bühler will leverage next-generation AI technologies such as graph intelligence and agent-based workflows. The goal is to enhance business-critical processes and accelerate innovation. The first jointly developed use cases will initially be tested at Bühler. Their subsequent implementation in the manufacturing industry will set new standards for AI-driven industrial excellence.

"The partnership with Bühler represents our shared vision of what advanced AI can achieve in a globally operating company," says Lauren Hawker Zafer, Chief Operating Officer at Squirro. "It enables the transition from simple GenAI applications to agent-based workflows designed to enhance business performance."

"The collaboration with another Swiss innovator is fully in line with our goals in the area of digital excellence," explains Ian Roberts, Chief Technology Officer at Bühler. "We are building an AI architecture for the future, and Squirro's enterprise AI platform is the trusted, secure element that enables us to implement this transformation responsibly across all our global locations."

The combination of Squirro's Enterprise AI platform with Bühler's global operational reach contributes to driving AI-powered innovations and digital excellence in the manufacturing industry.
