Less paper in companies thanks to AI. An opportunity for small businesses
Small companies in Saxony-Anhalt are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence to reduce paper documentation and speed up office work. An example is SCM Energy, which uses a smartphone app to create 3D models of rooms.

Scanning rooms with a phone
At the company SCM Energy, employee Mirko Schlatow scanned the interior of a building within a few minutes using a smartphone app. Based on this, a 3D model was created that shows all the radiators. The model makes it possible to determine the heat demand, i.e. the size of the thermal load, without manual measurement and drawing plans (So gut wie kein Papier mehr: KI als Chance für kleine Unternehmen – MDR).
Fewer paper documents
Companies in the energy and construction sectors previously prepared cost estimates, drawings and reports in printed form. Today more and more of these tasks are carried out digitally, and systems based on artificial intelligence help organise data and prepare documents.
Why this is an opportunity for small businesses
For companies employing a few people, introducing such tools does not require large investments in infrastructure. Basic devices and software are enough, and the time saved translates into faster preparation of offers and lower administrative costs.
What comes next
These solutions will probably spread further along with growing interest in heat pumps and the energy modernisation of buildings, since they require precise data on heating installations.
