AI on IoT — only after the locating feed is honest.

AI only pays when identity and location events underneath are trustworthy. We design the feed first, models second — on stacks you can own (PyTorch/TensorFlow, edge silicon, Azure ML / SageMaker), not a black-box platform of ours.

The applied-AI stack

Six places AI changes the operating equation — after the feed is trustworthy.

IoT without intelligence is expensive plumbing. These are the layers we design on top of a clean locating feed — we do not sell an AI product platform.

01 · ANOMALY DETECTION

Movement patterns & dwell drift

Unsupervised models that learn the normal cadence of an asset, person, or workflow — and surface deviations in real time. Catches lost equipment, stalled work, fraud, and process drift before they hit a KPI report.

02 · PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Vibration, thermal, acoustic

Time-series models on IIoT sensor data predicting failure 7 to 90 days out. Integrated with the CMMS so work orders are raised before downtime, not after.

03 · COMPUTER VISION + RTLS

Sensor fusion

Vision models cross-referenced with UWB and BLE positioning for sub-centimetre identification of who is doing what, where — FOD prevention, hand hygiene attestation, PPE compliance.

04 · EDGE AI / TINYML

On-device inference

Quantised, edge-deployed models on Hailo, NVIDIA Jetson, Google Coral, Edge Impulse, and STM32-class MCUs. Decisions made on the sensor — no round-trip latency, no cloud egress cost.

05 · LLM OPERATIONS COPILOTS

Natural-language & agentic

Retrieval-augmented assistants over your spatial event history, work-order logs, and SOPs. Operators ask "where was the gauge last calibrated?" and get an evidenced answer, not a search result.

06 · DIGITAL TWIN + SIMULATION

What-if modelling

Real movement and process data feeding digital-twin simulations on NVIDIA Omniverse, Siemens Xcelerator, or Azure Digital Twins. Test layout, staffing, and process changes in silico before committing capex.

Start with a use case

Thirty minutes on data, models, and what is actually buildable.

Bring a problem — not a model. We will spend the call on the data you have, the decision you need, and the simplest applied-AI architecture that solves it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What does applied AI mean for location data?

Practical models on top of your sensor and location streams - anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, dwell and flow analytics - not research projects.

Do we need our own data science team?

No. We bring the expertise and build models that run against the data you already collect.

Is our data kept private?

Yes. We work within your data governance and privacy requirements, and you retain ownership of your data.

Can AI run at the edge?

Yes, where latency or connectivity demands it - we design the right edge and cloud split for your use case.
