contents Upcoming large-scale spectroscopic surveys such as WEAVE and 4MOST will provide thousands of spectra of massive stars, which need to be analysed in an efficient and homogeneous way. Studies on massive stars are usually based on samples of a few hundred objects which pushes current spectroscopic analysis tools to their limits because visual inspection is necessary to verify the spectroscopic fit. The novel spectroscopic analysis pipeline takes advantage of the statistics that large samples provide, and determines the model error to account for imperfections in stellar atmosphere codes due to simplified, wrong or missing physics. Considering observational plus model uncertainties improve spectroscopic fits. The pipeline utilises the entire spectrum rather than selected diagnostic lines allowing a wider range of temperature from B to early O stars to be analysed. A small fraction of stars like peculiar, contaminated or spectroscopic binaries require visual inspection, which are identified through their larger uncertainties.
