Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in many industries. This advanced technology is not only valued for its ability to analyse complex data and make decisions. It also offers the potential to optimise processes and automate routine tasks. The trade in used machinery in particular shows how AI opens up new possibilities and can revolutionise existing processes.

The origins of artificial intelligence date back to the 1950s, when scientists began to explore the idea of thinking and learning machines. Today, AI encompasses a wide range of advanced technologies such as machine learning, neural networks and autonomous systems that can make decisions on their own. These techniques have enabled the use of AI in a wide range of applications, from optimising complex production lines to improving customer interaction and supporting diagnosis in medicine. The advantage of AI systems lies in their ability to learn from large amounts of data and recognise patterns, making them an indispensable analysis and forecasting tool. In many industries, AI is therefore not only used to increase efficiency, but also to develop new business models and transform existing markets.
