AI Assisted Engineering

Build efficient engineering processes powered by generative AI: You can count on us to advise you at every turn, from selecting the right tools to tailoring the integration of generative AI to your needs. And if you wish to implement custom AI solutions, we can help with that too. Harnessing the power of AI tech, we accelerate the ideation process and efficiently extract facts from knowledge bases via RAG (retrieval-augmented generation).  Our advanced AI models support requirements testing, while AI-assisted routines optimize code generation. And we take advantage of innovative AI-powered methods to create automated test cases.

Reliable AI

The state-of-the-art drivers behind the wheel of many technologies, AI models are not some abstract concept. They have a concrete impact on our lives in areas ranging from autonomous driving to the assessment of human attributes. ITK Engineering has all the assets you need to put the provision of the AI Act and related standards such as ISO 8800 (Safety and artificial intelligence for road vehicles) into practice. Our experts excel at developing AI with safety-relevant properties in mind, and at implementing data lifecycles.

Foundation Models

It takes a lot of labeled data to develop AI models for image processing applications and computer vision use cases. Unfortunately, it also takes a lot of time and money to generate this data.  On the upside, transfer learning has streamlined this process by using pre-trained models to slash the amount of training data needed to this end. Another way of lightening the data load is to use foundation models much like those that underpin generative AI such as ChatGPT. Having been exposed to massive amounts of data, these models possess the kind of generalized knowledge that allows them to be trained on new applications with just a few hundred data points. Let us bring the benefits of foundation models to your use cases.

Integration of embedded AI on a microchip

EMBEDDED/EDGE AI

The integration of AI algorithms into products poses challenges in terms of precision and real-time capability with limited computing resources. With our expertise, we provide support at every stage of development – from concept development and hardware and AI model architecture selection to optimization potential for precision and speed through to tailored deployment and quality assurance solutions.

Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) technology

MLOps

Similar to an autopilot taking over the controls in an airplane, Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) allow data scientists to focus on development without having to manually monitor models. MLOps standardizes and streamlines integration into production environments, ensuring reliable operation and continuous improvement of ML applications. This ensures the effectiveness and efficiency of ML applications throughout their entire lifecycle.

Environmental perception with the eye and software

Perception

How do you teach a system, product, machine, or computer to perceive its surroundings? This is the pivotal question for people who develop perception systems. Engineers tasked to build powerful perception systems have to have a firm grasp of the full range of methods and the latest techniques. We have all that and more. Opt for our comprehensive range of services and the perception system you intend to develop will be sure to live up to your expectations.
