Case Study

North America – October 27, 2026 -- Snowflake's product data science team cut the time from pipeline incident to a tested, reviewable fix to under 16 minutes using its CoCo agentic AI assistant. Before CoCo, diagnosis took a skilled engineer about 30 minutes per case. The result comes from a four-part framework that Snowflake built to measure AI value beyond license counts and prompt volumes.

Snowflake sorts AI work into three levels instead of counting prompts

Dashboards built on access and activity score an organization running 1,000 explanations the same as one running 1,000 pipeline builds and anomaly investigations. Snowflake's framework separates foundational work (explaining code, answering questions), applied development (writing code, exploring data, building reports) and agentic work (multistep processes where AI uses tools to finish an outcome). Real capacity gains should appear in the agentic tier.

United Kingdom – October 24, 2026 -- A UK freight forwarder has recovered 800 hours of manual processing every month by automating proof-of-delivery (POD) handling across its 10-plus branches with PayCargo's AI-based document platform.

The company processes more than 10,000 deliveries a month and cannot invoice a customer until the signed POD has been processed and matched to its shipment. Each of its 10 branches previously ran a separate manual process. Operators scanned PODs individually, read shipment references off documents in mixed formats and typed every record into the Transport Management System (TMS). The result was information silos, delayed invoices and skilled staff tied up in data entry.

Savannah – October 23, 2026 -- The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) delivered a fully functional, all-electric concept car, The Aether, with an entirely 3D-printed body, and showed it at the 2024 Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

Hatch Exhibits prints main panels on a Massivit 5000

Custom design studio Hatch Exhibits partnered with the SCAD team to print the main car panels on a Massivit 5000 large-scale 3D printer. The machine uses Gel Dispensing Printing, which cures material with UV light during printing. It builds geometries from CAD designs or 3D scans, and panels can be reprinted within a few hours.

The project was led by Rafael Corazza Ronchetti, a former Lamborghini and Audi supercar designer who now teaches Industrial Design at SCAD. His team drew on the Ferrari 312 F1 and Porsche 917 for the convertible's styling.

Global – October 22, 2026 -- A US freight forwarder now automates the splitting, sorting and indexing of 100,000 emails a month into its ERP, according to one of nine customer case studies published by PayCargo.

Document automation drives four of nine case studies

A Netherlands-based customs team within a global freight forwarder automated 4,000 monthly commercial invoices. A UK-based forwarder automated proof-of-delivery processing across more than 10 branches, removing manual data entry. A major US air cargo handler automated air waybill reconciliation with an AI-powered, API-driven workflow.

European forwarder automates 50,000 monthly email bookings

A major European freight forwarder applied AI-powered booking automation to 50,000 email bookings a month. Separately, a global freight forwarder automated carrier invoice processing across more than 20 countries.

United States – October 19, 2026 -- SupplyOne has secured two locations of a private equity-owned plastic fabrication company, consolidating the customer's packaging vendors under stocked inventory programs and just-in-time (JIT) service.

The customer needed fewer suppliers and dependable support across multiple sites as it expanded. SupplyOne built a localized support model aimed at faster responsiveness, streamlined inventory programs and the customer's acquisition-driven growth strategy.

SupplyOne converts corrugated in-house and consolidates complementary packaging under one partner

Under the hybrid manufacturing and distribution approach, SupplyOne converts corrugated packaging in its own manufacturing facilities. It also supplies complementary packaging products, which reduces supplier complexity across the customer's locations.

Orlando – October 16, 2026 -- A crystalline waterproofing admixture removed roughly 60 days of planned waterproofing work from the rehabilitation of the Dujmovača Tunnel in Split, Croatia, and cut water penetration depth by 83% after ten test cycles, according to Penetron Group.

Redesign followed material shortage and failed adhesion tests

The Dujmovača Tunnel (M604) is part of the Split suburban railway line and is one of two railway tunnels beneath the city center. The rehabilitation targeted waterproofing and drainage to control water ingress. The original design specified a dimpled membrane system to channel inflows through drains and half-pipes into a drainage channel.

Two problems forced a rethink. The specified composite drainage material was no longer available, and shotcrete adhesion tests returned values below the required threshold, said Theodor Mentzikofakis, Managing Director and Partner of Penetron Hellas.

Jeddah – October 14, 2026 -- The rooftop pool at the Hilton Garden Inn in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, passed post-commissioning testing with walls on the floor below found almost entirely dry and no leakage detected beneath the slab, according to The Penetron Group. PENETRON ADMIX performed as a standalone waterproofing system, with no membrane required.

Penetron Middle East specified three integrated systems for the pool structure

The brief called for protecting the below-grade concrete structures and delivering a pool that stays watertight for the life of the building without a surface membrane, said Sam Annous, Director and Partner of Penetron Middle East. The team specified an integral approach combining three product groups:

Munich – September 24, 2026 -- Hofbräu Munich has equipped its brewery logistics operation with more than 20 noax industrial touch panel PCs, eliminating lost orders and downtime during peak demand periods such as Oktoberfest.

Rugged terminals eliminate lost orders during Oktoberfest peak

Jürgen Breitsameter, Head of Logistics and Purchasing at Hofbräu Munich, said the terminals have become the backbone of the operation, ensuring every barrel reaches its destination on schedule during the festival's high-volume service periods. Since introducing the forklift-mounted terminals, the brewery has significantly reduced downtime and improved process reliability across receiving and delivery.
