- As part of the AI4YE Erasmus+ project, a field visit was conducted to UNT Laser Cutting & UV Printing Studio, a local business based in İzmir.
The company actively integrates artificial intelligence (AI) into various stages of its workflow, from production to online sales. During the design process, AI-powered tools are used to generate original and creative products. On digital sales platforms, the business leverages AI for data analysis and content suggestions, which helps boost product visibility and appeal.
The products photographed during the visit were all designed with the support of AI and are currently available for purchase. By adopting AI technologies, the company saves time and strengthens its position in the competitive digital market.
This visit highlights an inspiring example of how young entrepreneurs can utilize AI to enhance business processes and drive innovation.
- Second field visit was carried out to OKT Trailer, a manufacturing company based in Aydın. Founded in 1981 as a small workshop, the company now operates with over 250 employees and combines decades of experience with innovative, tech-driven approaches to reach international markets.
During the visit, it was observed that the company actively integrates AI-based systems into its production and decision-making processes. These systems ensure that critical information—such as technical documentation, regulations, and procedures—can be accessed quickly and summarized efficiently, significantly improving operational performance.
AI-supported data is verified through multiple sources before decisions are made, increasing the accuracy, safety, and reliability of operations. By using advanced AI tools for analysis, modeling, and recommendations, the company not only accelerates its reporting processes but also enhances the quality and depth of its strategic insights.
Rather than treating AI as a secondary tool, OKT Trailer adopts it as a core component of its production and management philosophy. This forward-thinking integration of AI serves as a powerful example for young entrepreneurs looking to embrace digital transformation and intelligent innovation.
