On-premise AI for Manufacturing.
Designs, process IP, and trade secrets are the business — and their value depends on never leaving the company. We deploy the full AI stack on-prem and at the edge near the plant, inside air-gapped OT environments, with zero data egress.
When the IP is the product, it cannot leave
A manufacturer's edge lives in things that must stay secret: part designs and CAD, process recipes and tolerances, control logic, supplier terms, and the accumulated know-how that competitors would pay dearly to see. Send any of that to a third-party model API and you have handed your most valuable asset to an outside party. On the plant floor the constraint is even harder — OT networks are deliberately air-gapped, and a hosted AI tool that needs an outbound connection simply cannot be allowed in.
So we invert the flow. Instead of shipping designs and process data out to where a model lives, we deploy the model, retrieval, and application onto on-prem and edge hardware near the plant — including inside air-gapped OT environments. The capability is the same as any modern industrial AI tool; the perimeter is yours, and the IP stays where it has to: inside the company.
Private AI from desk to plant floor.
A complete stack that runs on-prem and at the edge — your hardware, your network, your control.
- On-prem GPU servers
- Edge near the line
- No external model APIs
- Air-gapped OT networks
- No outbound data flow
- Local model & index
- Customer-managed keys
- Role-scoped access
- Append-only audit trail
Where on-premise AI unlocks value in Manufacturing
Value concentrates wherever a workload touches IP or runs on the floor, where a hosted tool cannot reach:
- Engineering & design assistance — engineers query CAD, specs, and prior designs with the IP processed on-prem, never sent to an outside service.
- Maintenance & troubleshooting — technicians get answers from manuals, schematics, and machine logs on edge hardware inside the air-gapped OT network.
- Process & quality knowledge — operators and quality teams retrieve SOPs, recipes, and tolerances locally, keeping proprietary process data in-house.
- Supply chain & documentation — staff reason over supplier terms, BOMs, and compliance docs inside the boundary, with full audit and no leakage of trade secrets.
Common questions.
Can on-premise AI keep designs and trade secrets from leaving the company?
Yes. We deploy the model, retrieval, and application onto on-prem or edge hardware you control, so CAD files, process recipes, source code, and trade secrets are processed where they already sit. There are no calls to a hosted model API and nothing leaves the boundary — which matters because the value of this IP depends entirely on it never leaving the organization.
Can it run on the plant floor in an air-gapped OT environment?
Yes. We deploy to edge hardware near the line and into air-gapped OT networks with no route to the public internet. Models are loaded from internal media, updates arrive through a controlled one-way path, and inference happens locally for low latency — so the system runs alongside production without opening a hole in the isolation that OT security depends on.
