Explainable AI for engineering, quality, and production

We make industrial decisions faster, more robust, and more economical without replacing existing workflows.

The objective is data-driven decision support with transparent results in day-to-day operations.

What makes us different

More data. More context. More robust decisions.

Our hybrid approach processes process, quality, and context data together instead of isolated single signals. That creates artificial intelligence that can capture more relationships and deliver technically robust statements.

Our know-how

Artificial intelligence for real industrial processes

We connect more data sources than isolated point solutions and structure them with technical domain knowledge. The result is not an abstract score but a robust basis for decisions in engineering, quality, and production.

Why this makes a difference
Icon representing neural analysis

More context can be processed

We can include more relevant data in one decision than approaches that only look at a few isolated signals.

Icon representing the knowledge graph and process logic

Less black box

Results remain technically interpretable for engineering, QA, and production and therefore usable in daily work.

Icon representing explainable output

More operational relevance

Data becomes robust guidance that can be processed and operationalized in real production environments.

Typical point solution

Few signals, little context

  • often evaluates process data in isolation
  • separates quality, material, and equipment knowledge
  • often delivers only a score without technical framing

01More data sources

Process, quality, material, and equipment context become usable together instead of being viewed separately.

02Technical context

Data is structured through domain knowledge, rules, and process logic so that relationships remain technically robust.

03Robust statement

The output is a traceable assessment with cause and possible corrective action instead of a pure black-box score.

Where we start

Where industrial decisions need more context

KnowFab becomes relevant when process data already exists, decisions still require too much manual coordination, and results need to remain technically interpretable. The strongest value usually appears in engineering, quality, and production where data is available, but relationships are still evaluated too slowly, too separately, or without enough technical confidence. That is why our focus is not generic automation, but technically grounded decisions that help people in day-to-day operations.

Engineering

When rulesets, expert knowledge, and design data need to be combined, KnowFab helps teams handle planning and evaluation tasks faster and with more consistency.

Quality

When deviations occur, teams need more than an alert. They need a technically interpretable basis for root-cause analysis, prioritization, and robust corrective action.

Production

When processes drift, scrap risk increases, or stability declines, KnowFab helps turn process, quality, and context data into an operational decision basis.

How an entry project works

From use case to robust deployment

A meaningful entry point does not start with a generic AI promise. It starts with a clearly defined technical problem. Together, we review which data already exists, where real decisions are made today, and what level of transparency will be required once the solution reaches operations.

From there, we prioritize a starting point that is both technically relevant and operationally realistic. This creates pilot projects, product building blocks, or integrations that do not stop at demo mode but fit real workflows and can be accepted by engineering, QA, and production teams.

What we focus on at the start

  • Clear target metric instead of open-ended innovation search
  • Assessment of existing data quality and interfaces
  • Traceable results for domain experts and operations
  • Step-by-step expansion from pilot to product or integration module
