How often do you spend inputting the same data into 3rd party systems, collating information from multiple sources into a single report or reacting to a new line in an order spreadsheet as soon as it’s added?  With the use of AI you can ensure data is processed as soon as it’s created and take away the monotony of data input.

Intelligent agents can answer your emails, auto populate documents and 3rd party software.  It can even help your write tender documents or generate sales quotations.

An AI powered system designed to recognise how a manufactured product, such as a circuit board, should look can be used to automate your  quality control processes and help identify faulty items before they’re dispatched.

A common misconception is that Artificial Intelligence needs a super powered computer on which to run, this isn’t always the case.  Once a model, such as those designed for a vision system, has been produced, they can be set to run on micro computers such as a Raspberry Pi.  Therefore consuming much less power and even able to run in environments where there is no direct power source.

Most companies work within the standard working hours of 9:00-5:30, meaning it could be over 15 hours before you’re able to reply to a customer email.  By using AI you can training a customer support bot to answer technical or service questions via email or a chatbot 24 hours a day.

When asked to write new content for your company website, social media channels or printed material do you suffer from writers block? AI can come to the rescue to help suggest topics, summarise documents, expand on what you’ve written or collate information from multiple courses.

Benefits Of Our AI Consulting

Vast experience

And expertise with over 30 years’ experience in working with AI software we have the skills and experience to help transform your business with this innovative technology.

Ethical AI development

We will ensure that you use Artificial Intelligence in a way that is both ethical and legal. Preventing your business from unintentionally breaking the law in how it handles and stores.

Faster Deployment

Where speed of delivery is of the essence, we can usually recommend and install a solution to improve your business processes quickly, without compromising on quality.

Innovative

We understand that every business is different, so rather than delivering off the shelf solutions we work with our clients to deliver something unique than matches their requirements, budget and time frame.

Sector Specific Solutions

Marketing

– Content idea creation for new blog posts
– Content writing
– Image creation for social media
– Editing items out of a photo (or adding them in)
– Data migration (taking info from a PDF and adding it to a package)

Improve the quality and quantity of your marketing material.  From website page content, to social media and banner design, AI can be used by non-creatives to produces inspiring and exciting content that will deliver sales and leads to your business.

Accounting

– Automated receipt (and any document) reading
– Automate the generation of a report
– Support email handling
– Appointment setting

Do you ever tire of producing financial reports, scanning receipts or populating 3rd party with figures?  AI can be used to automate the processes you find the most dull and repetitive with a greater level of accuracy and speed.

HR

– Automated policy question emails
– Composing of policy and handbook documents
– Answer questions via Teams on holiday entitlement and usage
– Help in quantifying job applications with a score to be evaluated by a human supervisor

Do you tire of producing employment handbooks and policies or answering the same type of questions from your team – such as how many holidays am I entitled to, how many days leave do I have left, what is the company paternity policy?  A GPT written using your own data and documents can answers these questions automatically via a chat or email interface.

Engineering

– Automated sales quotation system
– Anomaly detection on production equipment, from heat, vibrations, voltage, noise etc
– Visual QA inspections post production, such as soldered circuit boards
– Look for wasted energy usage and under utilised production equipment
– Answer support technical questions based on data from spec sheets

What would it mean to your business if you could spot machinery problems before they arose (and diagnose the fault), or automatically run visual quality control inspections?  Using AI models trained to your own equipment and products can help reduce the uptime of your production facility and improve the quality of the products created on it.
