What we do.Two ways we implement AI

Start with a talk, get a written assessment, then build what pays off — with people who know the floor.

Start here

Consulting

We'll help you discover areas and processes where agents and custom software can yield the best productivity gains with the least amount of effort and investment — often repetitive screen work, messy information flow, and knowledge that only lives on the floor.

Online

On-demand consulting — Online

NOK 2,500

One hour on video about whatever you need help with. No report. A sparring partner who knows the floor.

Invoice or Vipps after the call.

Book time
Written report On site

Full-day evaluation

NOK 35,000

Written feasibility report with estimates. At your location. Up to five proposals — one of them concrete and detailed, ready for immediate implementation.

On site

Hourly consulting and on-demand R&D

Quoted up front

Work without a report, quoted first. At your location.

Build it

On-Demand R&D

The rare combination of IT, software and engineering experience gives us a real edge in offering on-demand R&D. We take your ideas from sketch to prototype, capture data from older equipment, and build tools that actually get used on the floor — on servers you own.

Examples of where the work can go — including a glimpse of the future.

Shop-floor agents and data capture

What only one person knows gets captured where the work happens.

State and logs from sensors and machines

Integrating data streams from older equipment and machines.

Future

Interactive procedures and manuals

Manuals and procedures operators can navigate — explained with video or voice. A later step can have operators speaking and communicating with the procedure itself. A glimpse of the future — and we can do it.

Maps and layouts

Simple onboarding for new staff with interactive maps of the organisation, live-updated if you want.

How we work

From first talk to a tool in use

  1. 1

    30 min · NOK 0

    Free talk

    You tell us how you work today. We find where AI can help — and tell you honestly if it isn't the right tool.

  2. 2

    1 day · NOK 35,000

    Assessment

    We spend a day on site and deliver a written feasibility report with estimates.

  3. 3

    On your data

    Pilot

    A scoped trial on your data and network. If it works, we build on it.

  4. 4

    At your place

    In use

    The whole company puts it to use — that's where it pays off. It runs locally at your place, you keep the models and the notes, and we keep developing it with you.

How we work

Data from the floor up

Management needs a solid base of data to make good decisions. That is why integration starts on the floor: we capture nuance, reports and feedback from the operators, as the work happens.

That becomes a foundation for new tools and automated processes. The work worth doing first is the work already happening on the floor. That is where we start.

Compute locally, own the data. Systems that still work when the politics shift, or someone else’s server doesn’t.

What you get

  • A partner who understands manufacturing — and works as easily with people on the floor as with management.
  • A sparring partner who helps you move toward complete integration.
  • Rapid prototyping and testing of concepts and systems.
  • Security first: logging and processing on site. Cloud APIs only for the heavy jobs that actually need them.

How much regulatory work are you stuck with?

Same shop-floor assistant. Cloud compute puts a vendor in the chain — processor agreements, sub-processors, sometimes a transfer basis. Local compute does not.

Bottom line: run the models on hardware you own, and there is no third party in the compute chain.

Why now

EU AI Act — transparency rules apply from 2 Aug 2026 (EU)

Transparency rules have applied in the EU since 2 August 2026. This summer the EU adopted amendments: high-risk rules now apply from 2 Dec 2027 and 2 Aug 2028. In Norway, the KI-lov goes out for a new consultation in autumn 2026, aiming for the Storting in spring 2027. Transparency fines: up to €15M or 3% of global turnover. Local compute keeps the data and the logs on machines you own.

48% of Norwegian businesses use AI (Statistics Norway, 2026)

Companies with at least 10 employees. In industry, 78% of large firms (100+ staff) use AI — but only 37% of the smallest (10–19). That gap is where we work. Shop-floor work still needs private metal — national HPC is allocated in rounds, not a workshop queue.

Cloud AI rents capacity. Local AI owns it.

Cloud AI is a running bill — seats, APIs, tokens — and production data sits with the vendor. Local AI runs on hardware you control: pay for the machines once, then use them. Cloud is quicker to stand up. Local keeps cost and shop-floor context in-house.
