AI venture of Xelec · United States & European Union
We are three things at once: a product studio shipping five AI products, an engineering team that takes one use case to a production gate, and a research lab. Xelec, our parent company, builds the hardware — so when inference has to run on the factory floor, we design the board and the model together.
Operating model
Most vendors are a consultancy or a product. Being both is why our pilots reach production — the studio ships the components the engineering work would otherwise rebuild each time.
01
Five shipping products — assistant, document intelligence, revenue CRM, evaluation, edge runtime. Deploy in weeks, not quarters.
02
Embedded senior teams that take an AI use case from data foundation to a monitored, audited production system with an owner.
03
An internal lab on retrieval, document structure, agent reliability and small-model distillation for constrained hardware.
Field notes
These are the six problems we hear on nearly every first call. Each one has a specific engineering answer, not a workshop.
P-01
Twelve proofs of concept, none in production. No owner, no evaluation harness, no path from notebook to a system operations will accept.
Our answerPaid pilots with a written production gate — pass and we ship it, fail and you keep the findings.
P-02
Invoices, claims, bills of lading, PDFs, scans, faxes and thirty years of legacy tables. The AI is fine; the input never arrives.
Our answerDocument intelligence and a data foundation layer built before any model work starts.
P-03
EU AI Act classification, GDPR transfers, SOC 2 evidence, procurement's data-residency questionnaire. Legal stops the project, not engineering.
Our answerEU and US residency options, model-choice control, DPIA-ready documentation and full audit trails from day one.
P-04
A confident wrong answer in a customer-facing or regulated workflow costs more than the whole programme saved.
Our answerEvaluation sets, citation-grounded answers, guardrails and drift monitoring shipped with the system.
P-05
Nine AI tools, four contracts, no consolidated view of cost per outcome, and a bill that moves with token prices.
Our answerModel-agnostic architecture, cost telemetry per workflow, and the option to move to smaller in-house models.
P-06
Factories, clinics, retail back rooms and field devices have bandwidth, latency and sovereignty limits the cloud ignores.
Our answerOn-device inference on Xelec hardware — the capability most AI vendors simply do not have.
Product studio
Licensed, deployable in your region, and reused inside our engineering work — which is how they got hardened.
Enterprise AI assistant
AvailableA grounded assistant over your documents, tickets, wikis and line-of-business systems. Every answer carries citations, every query is logged, permissions follow the source system.
OCR and document intelligence
AvailableStructure-aware extraction for invoices, claims, IDs, shipping documents and contracts — including scans, handwriting and multi-language European forms. Confidence thresholds route the hard 4% to a human.
AI-optimized sales CRM
AvailableA CRM where the record maintains itself: calls transcribed and summarised, accounts enriched, next-best-action ranked on real pipeline signals, forecast hygiene enforced rather than requested.
Evaluation and guardrails
BetaThe harness we built for our own delivery work, productised: golden datasets, regression gates on every prompt or model change, drift and hallucination monitoring, and an evidence trail your auditor accepts.
On-device inference runtime
Early accessDistilled models and a runtime that executes on Xelec-designed boards — vision inspection, speech, and document capture at the point of work, with no data leaving the site.
Procurement answers, up front
Selected work
Anonymised at client request. The constraint section is the part worth reading.
Logistics · United States
A mid-market brokerage processing rate confirmations, BOLs and PODs by hand across three shifts.
Insurance · European Union
A grounded assistant over 30 years of policy wordings, endorsements and internal guidance across four languages.
Industrial manufacturing · Germany
Cloud inference was impossible on the shop floor. A distilled model on Xelec hardware runs at the station.
Software · United States
A 90-seat sales organisation whose CRM hygiene depended on end-of-quarter heroics.
Client identities are withheld and all figures are representative engagement patterns, not audited results.
Parent company
Twenty years of embedded design, sensor integration and manufacturing sits behind this AI venture. When a workload cannot reach the cloud, we do not apologise for it — we design the device.
IoT and embedded prototyping
Concept to a working, instrumented unit — with an honest read on power, thermal and unit cost.
Firmware and electronics product development
RTOS and bare-metal firmware, schematics, PCB layout, DFM and certification preparation.
Model and device co-design
Distillation targeted at a board we control, so accuracy and envelope are decided together.
Manufacturing and fleet operation
Volume transfer, OTA updates, remote diagnostics and store-and-forward for offline sites.
Public roadmap
We publish the roadmap because buyers in regulated industries plan in quarters, not sprints.
Shipping
Xelec Eval
Regression gates and drift monitoring in open beta.
Extract — EU form pack
German, French, Dutch and Nordic invoice and claims layouts.
Assist — audit export
Quarterly DPO-ready query and access reporting.
Following two quarters
Xelec Edge general availability
Two reference boards, fleet OTA, offline-first sync.
Revenue — EMEA territory engine
Multi-currency quota, in-region data separation.
Private model hosting
Customer-dedicated inference in EU and US regions.
Research-led
Xelec sensor + AI reference kits
Vision, acoustic and vibration capture co-designed with the parent hardware team.
Distilled in-house models
Client-owned small models trained from production traces.
Agent supervision framework
Reliability patterns from R-04 productised.
Next step
Thirty minutes with an engineer who has shipped this before. If there is no fit, we will say so on the call.
