AI for manufacturing and industry
AI for manufacturing is not an experiment — it's agents that take routine work off engineers, procurement and quality control. We build AI systems for document workflows, technical support, purchasing and sales, integrate them with 1C:ERP, SAP and MES, and deploy them inside the company's closed network in line with 152-FZ (Russia's personal data law).
Industry challenges
What holds growth back
- 01
Knowledge is locked in documents and in veterans' heads
Regulations, drawings, equipment manuals and the experience of key specialists are scattered across folders. A newcomer needs months to find answers on their own.
- 02
Paperwork eats up engineers' time
Technical specifications, bills of materials, acceptance certificates and supplier letters are prepared by hand and go through long approval chains. Engineers are busy with paperwork instead of production.
- 03
Data in ERP, MES and spreadsheets is disconnected
Planners, procurement and sales work in different systems. To build a report or give a customer a lead time, someone has to merge the data by hand.
- 04
Strict security requirements
Cloud AI services are off-limits because of trade secrets and security team requirements. You need solutions that run inside the perimeter.
Solutions
What we build for the industry
- 01
Document workflow automation for manufacturing
AI agents read incoming emails, requests and specifications, extract the data, match it against your item master and prepare documents for approval. The engineer reviews the result instead of typing it from scratch. Preparing standard documents takes a fraction of the time.

AI in manufacturing: a knowledge base
A RAG assistant over regulations, process sheets and equipment manuals answers foremen and operators with a link to the source. It runs on your servers, with no data leaving the company. Onboarding new staff and finding answers gets faster.

AI sales desk and product matching from the catalog
The agent qualifies incoming requests, matches items from a large catalog by technical parameters, prepares a commercial proposal and hands the deal to a manager in the CRM. The customer gets an answer in seconds, not days.

Integration with 1C:ERP, SAP and MES
We connect AI agents and new interfaces to your accounting systems: stock, orders, production jobs and statuses sync automatically. The 1C:ERP integration is designed around your configuration, without rewriting your accounting.

Shop-floor PWA: requests, inspections, quality control
An app on tablets and handheld scanners for foremen and inspectors: inspection checklists, photo records of defects, repair requests and downtime logging. Works over weak connections and deploys on a closed network. Digitalizing production starts with data collected right on the shop floor.
Progressive web apps (PWA) → - 06
Corporate Telegram or MAX bot for employees and suppliers
A bot for IT and facilities requests, shift notifications, approvals and supplier communication. It can run on your own Bot API server inside the perimeter. Employees get a fast channel, and managers get transparent request statistics.
Bots for any social network or messenger →

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can AI agents be deployed without internet access?
Yes. We have experience with on-premise deployment and air-gapped networks without internet access: we use language models that run on the company's own servers and keep data inside the perimeter.
How do agents connect to 1C:ERP and SAP?
We start by reviewing your configuration and data flows, then connect through standard exchange mechanisms and APIs. The accounting system remains the source of truth; agents read and create documents according to agreed rules.
How much does an agent system for manufacturing cost?
For reference: an agent system starts at 500,000 ₽, a corporate bot at 60,000 ₽. The final cost depends on the number of processes and integrations and is quoted once the specification is worked out.
Do you comply with 152-FZ?
Yes, we have experience with 152-FZ: personal data is processed and stored on your servers, access is role-based, and agent actions are logged.
