AI solutions for companies: from the idea to a productive application
Most companies know AI will change their processes, but not where to start or what actually pays off. We build AI solutions for SMEs and industry that create value in production, not just in the demo.
What AI can do for your company
AI for companies is not an end in itself. The value appears where recurring, knowledge-intensive work costs time and causes errors today.
Typical starting points
Understand documents instead of retyping
Automatically capture, check and process invoices, orders, technical documents and emails.
Make knowledge accessible
Ask questions of your own data in natural language instead of searching through systems and folders.
Automate processes
Let AI agents take over routine decisions and workflows, with people at the right control points.
Recognise patterns
Make similarities, anomalies and relationships in large data sets visible.
AI applications for SMEs and industry
Automatic document processing
For manufacturing and trade, so documents are no longer captured by hand.
Natural-language access to production and business data
So specialists get answers without having to operate a dashboard.
Process automation
Along existing workflows, where effort and error rate can be cut fastest.
These applications build on the same components we bundle in our product factorIQ, our AI platform for manufacturing. Discover factorIQ
AI agents: the step from tools to systems
Individual AI tools are easy to get hold of today. The difference appears when several capabilities grow together into a system that handles a task from start to finish. Such AI agents plan steps, access your systems, make decisions within a defined scope and come back to a person when a judgement call is needed.
We build these agents so that they stay transparent: clearly delimited tasks, defined control points and full visibility into what the agent has done. That creates automation your team can trust.
Developing artificial intelligence: our approach
Successful AI development is rarely a question of the biggest model. It is a question of the right fit. Our approach in four steps.
- 01
Assessment
Together we find the use cases with the best ratio of value to effort.
Start where it pays off
- 02
Prototype
In a short time a working solution is built on real data, so the value becomes visible early.
Value visible in weeks, not months
- 03
Go live
We bring the solution into stable operation, integrated into your existing systems.
Integrated, not a parallel silo
- 04
Operation and evolution
The solution is measured, improved and extended with further use cases.
Grows with the value it creates
Why iosys as your AI partner in Switzerland
iosys is a Swiss software and AI company. We combine software development with applied artificial intelligence and support our customers from the first assessment through to ongoing operation.
Swiss AI means, for us: proximity, commitment and data protection on equal terms with our customers. We are a small, experienced team that delivers software development and AI from a single source. You talk to the people who also build. And we think from the result, not from the hype: an AI solution is only good once it lasts in daily use.
That also means being clear about what does not pay off yet. We have set out which AI tool categories are worth it for a manufacturing SME, and under what condition each one pays off: Which AI tools pay off for manufacturing SMEs?
Frequently asked questions about AI solutions
What an AI solution is, when it pays off for an SME, and how to start.
What is an AI solution for companies?
An AI solution is an application that uses artificial intelligence to take over a concrete task in the company, for example processing documents, answering questions about your own data or automating processes. What matters is not the technology but the measurable value in daily use.
Does AI already pay off for an SME?
Yes, if you start small and targeted. For SMEs, the right use cases are those that involve recurring, time-intensive work. A lean prototype shows within a few weeks whether scaling up is worth it.
What is the difference between an AI tool and an AI agent?
An AI tool handles a single step. An AI agent chains several steps into a system that takes over a task from start to finish, accesses your systems and involves people at defined control points.
How do you start an AI project?
With an assessment that finds the use case with the best ratio of value to effort, followed by a prototype on real data. That keeps the risk small and makes the value visible early.
Does our data stay protected?
Yes. We design AI solutions so that your data stays protected, and we choose the operating model to fit your requirements, from Swiss infrastructure to running in your own environment.
factorIQ: AI for manufacturing
For manufacturers, we bundle our AI applications in factorIQ. The focus is on the tasks that come up on the shopfloor every day: process documents automatically, talk to your own data, and find relationships that are hard to spot by hand. factorIQ is the fastest way for an industrial SME to achieve a measurable effect with AI, without building an AI team of its own.
