Enterprise IP Crisis

  • Samsung leaked semiconductor code via ChatGPT (3 incidents in 3 weeks)
  • Apple, Amazon, JP Morgan banned ChatGPT internally
  • 92% of Fortune 500 use ChatGPT — massive uncontrolled exposure

Regulatory Enforcement Active

  • TikTok: €530M fine for EU-China data transfers (May 2025)
  • OpenAI: €15M fine + forced EU data residency (Feb 2025)
  • EU AI Act enforcement began August 2025 — penalties are real

Multi-Jurisdiction Complexity

  • EU: GDPR + EU AI Act (€35M or 7% penalties)
  • China: PIPL + CAC data localization requirements
  • USA: ICTS Rule (March 2025) bans Chinese/Russian automotive software

AI Solutions

Production-grade AI systems built for automotive, industrial, trade, and privacy-preserving applications across European enterprises.

Prototype

AI Validation Risk Analysis

Tier-1 Commercial Vehicle OEM

Vehicle validation covers hundreds of test steps per project. Engineers manually assess risk across each step — a time-consuming, subjective process where critical risks are often discovered too late.

AI analyzes each validation step for risk factors, assesses severity and detection capability, generates prioritized risk reports with countermeasures, and visualizes trends through interactive dashboards.

Saves engineers hours of manual review per project cycle while catching high-risk items early in the validation process.

LLM Risk AnalysisDeterministic Priority MatrixAutomated ReportingExcel Integration
Prototype

AI Patent Analysis & Prior Art Search

Leading Steel & Infrastructure Group

Patent analysis requires extracting structured content from complex PDF documents and searching global prior art databases — a labor-intensive process for IP departments.

AI-powered platform with OCR extraction, RAG-based patent chat with claim-level citation, and global prior art search across patent databases and embedding similarity.

Enables IP teams to analyze patents in minutes instead of hours, with comprehensive prior art coverage across multiple search strategies.

Document OCRRAG Patent ChatSemantic Similarity SearchPrior Art Discovery
Prototype

Automated Quality Document Review

Automotive Supply Chain

Production part approval requires reviewing multi-document packages against 18 standard elements — manual checking is slow and inconsistent across reviewers.

AI classifies all document types, extracts structured fields with evidence tracing, and validates against configurable checklists using durable workflows for reliable processing.

Transforms a multi-day manual review into an automated pipeline with real-time progress tracking and per-submission cost transparency.

AI Document ClassificationDurable WorkflowsAgentic AnalysisConfigurable Checklists
Prototype

AI Product Knowledge Assistant

Commercial Vehicle OEM

Product knowledge is scattered across emails, data sheets, and internal systems. Teams waste time searching for technical specifications and product comparisons.

Hybrid semantic and full-text search with reciprocal rank fusion across all knowledge sources, thread-based chat with tool calling, and dynamic AI-generated comparison tables.

Provides instant, accurate answers from the entire product knowledge base with source citations and structured data extraction.

Hybrid Semantic SearchReciprocal Rank FusionAI Table GenerationTool Calling
Prototype

Intelligent Spare Parts Management

Automotive OEM

Spare parts management across multiple locations requires complex queries for inventory, demand forecasting, and transfer optimization that traditional BI tools handle poorly.

AI generates and executes sandboxed code for data queries — achieving 85% token cost reduction and 3x faster responses compared to conventional LLM approaches, with a self-learning query library.

85% token cost reduction and 3x faster responses through Programmatic Tool Calling, with a self-improving code library for recurring query patterns.

Prototype

ML-Based Fleet Range Prediction

Electric Commercial Fleet Operator

Fleet operators need accurate range, battery aging, and charging time predictions — existing tools are expensive, deterministic, and provide no confidence intervals.

ML ensemble with physics-informed features replaces a legacy simulation tool, delivering confidence intervals instead of point estimates at a fraction of the cost with comparable accuracy (R² > 0.98).

Replaces a costly legacy simulation tool with an ML solution that provides uncertainty quantification for better fleet planning decisions.

Real-Time Tariff Intelligence

Cross-Border Trade Compliance

Cross-border trade compliance requires monitoring thousands of tariff changes across publications, with rules of origin scattered in complex regulatory documents.

Automated tariff schedule monitoring with change detection, rules of origin extraction from regulatory PDFs, and RAG-powered AI chat for compliance questions.

Transforms reactive tariff compliance into proactive intelligence with automatic change detection and AI-assisted regulatory analysis.

AI Enterprise Tender Management

Leading Energy Provider

Enterprise procurement involves processing multi-format tender documents, extracting evaluation criteria, and matching offers against complex requirements — a manual bottleneck.

AI processes tender documents in multiple formats via OCR, automatically extracts evaluation criteria, matches offers against requirements, and provides real-time AI chat over procurement data.

End-to-end procurement automation from document ingestion to compliance matching, with asynchronous processing for large document volumes.

Research

Federated Anti-Money Laundering

European Banking Consortium

Banks need to detect money laundering patterns across institutions, but privacy regulations prevent sharing customer transaction data between organizations.

Federated learning enables multiple banks to collaboratively train an AML detection model without sharing raw data — only model gradients are exchanged, with tamper-evident audit trails.

Cross-institutional AML detection that preserves privacy and regulatory compliance while detecting regional laundering typologies invisible to single institutions.

Federated LearningFedProx AggregationFocal LossTamper-Evident Audit
Research

Privacy-Preserving Biometric ID

Multi-Organizational Identity Systems

Biometric systems need training data from multiple organizations, but sharing facial data across institutions violates privacy regulations and raises ethical concerns.

Federated face recognition trains across simulated organizations without sharing raw images — only model weights are exchanged, using advanced loss functions for robust embeddings.

Enables multi-organizational biometric systems that meet GDPR/privacy requirements while achieving competitive recognition accuracy.

Federated Medical Image Classification

Hospital Collaborative Network

Hospitals need collaborative AI for medical imaging but cannot share patient data. Individual institutions lack sufficient training data for accurate models.

Federated skin lesion classification allows hospitals to collaboratively train deep learning models while keeping all patient data local, with CNN architecture design and safety-filtered AI assistance.

GDPR/HIPAA-compliant collaborative AI training that improves diagnostic accuracy beyond what any single institution could achieve alone.
