AI in your company – sovereign, not dependent

Many companies want to use AI but cannot put their sensitive data into third-party clouds. Our answer: sovereign AI solutions on your own infrastructure – from use case discovery through pilot to productive operation, integrated into your SAP/PLM world. See our AI knowledge systems for industry for what this looks like in practice.

Our stance on this is simple: “AI is a means to an end for us, never an end in itself.” That is why we start with a free Business AI Check: together we look at your engineering and production processes and show where AI genuinely pays off today – and where it does not. At the end you get a clear recommendation on what to start with and what to leave alone.

AI strategy & use case discovery

We identify the use cases with the best effort-benefit ratio in your company – honestly prioritized, instead of chasing every trend.

1

On-premise infrastructure & local language models

Language models run locally on your own GPU hardware – up to fully air-gapped systems. We size, install and operate together with you.

2

Knowledge graphs & RAG architectures

Your domain knowledge becomes usable as a structured knowledge graph; hybrid RAG architectures deliver precise answers with solid source citations instead of guesses.

3

Integration into SAP & PLM

As SAP PLM specialists we connect the AI directly to your SAP/PLM data – bills of materials, documents and material masters become queryable in natural language.

4

Data sovereignty & GDPR

Your data stays in-house: no transfer to cloud providers, clear access control, traceable processing – a solid foundation for GDPR-compliant AI use.

5

Enablement & operation

We don't hand over a black box: your team is trained, operations are documented – so the AI solution permanently belongs to you, not to the service provider.

References

For several mid-sized companies we implement AI-powered knowledge systems built on Anthropic models that make extensive technical documentation and bill-of-materials data accessible through natural language – fully air-gapped, with local language model inference and traceable source citations.

Your path to your own AI

From the first workshop to scaled operation – in three manageable steps, without mega-project risk.

01.

Use case workshop

Together we review your data sources and processes and pick the use case with the biggest leverage – including a realistic effort estimate.

02.

Pilot on your infrastructure

We build a working pilot system on your own hardware – with real data, local language models and measurable results.

03.

Scaling & operation

Only once the benefit is proven do we scale: more users, more data sources, integration into SAP/PLM – with training and documented operations.

Frequent questions about AI consulting

Answers to the questions companies ask us most often about getting started with sovereign AI.

With on-premise AI, sensitive data – engineering knowledge, bills of materials, contracts – never leaves the building. You keep full control over privacy, access and costs, without depending on cloud providers or their pricing models. For particularly sensitive environments, fully air-gapped systems are possible.
Less than often assumed: for many use cases a server with one or two current GPUs is enough. We size the infrastructure to fit the use case – from pilot system to productive multi-user operation – and advise vendor-neutrally.
Our systems combine language models with structured knowledge graphs and RAG architectures: every answer is traceable to its source and specifically tested against hallucinations. The AI answers from your data – not from guesses.
As SAP PLM specialists we connect the knowledge system directly to your SAP/PLM data – bills of materials, documents, material masters. The result is a continuous data flow from engineering to natural-language knowledge retrieval.
With a clearly scoped use case instead of a mega-project: in a workshop we identify the use case with the best effort-benefit ratio, build a pilot on your infrastructure and only scale once the benefit is proven.
