AI and innovation consultants

Someone has already built part of your idea. We find out who, and what it cost them.

We are AI consultants and innovation consultants. We read the patent record before you build, engineer the thing itself, and hand it over in a repository you control. The technology underneath comes from GADDR, in the same house.

Four fields

Narrow on purpose

A firm that claims every industry has read the record in none of them. We picked four that share the same physics and the same regulator, and we turned down the rest.

An electric vehicle in profile with the battery cells lit under the floor A vehicle drawn in thin outline from the side. Under the floor sits a battery pack with thirteen cells marked in violet, and measurement lines show the width of the pack. A glowing cable runs from the rear of the vehicle to a charging post on the right. Along the bottom stand the words pack, thermal and charge interface. PACK . THERMAL . CHARGE INTERFACE

01

Electric vehicles

Drivetrain, battery pack, thermal management and the charging interface. The part of the record that moves fastest, and the part where a late freedom to operate finding costs the most.

  • Pack architecture and cell selection
  • Charging, connectors and the standards behind them
  • Type approval and CE, planned from the first sketch
Three electric working vehicles in a depot under one shared power rail A depot seen head on. A box van, a smaller delivery vehicle and a terminal tractor stand in a row, all drawn in thin outline. Above them runs a blue rail with a streak of light gliding along it, and three violet cables drop to each vehicle. The words one connection stand above, and duty cycle measured, depot sized and grid checked stand below. DUTY CYCLE MEASURED . DEPOT SIZED . GRID CHECKED ONE CONNECTION

02

Electric transport

Everything that moves goods or people on stored electricity and is not a passenger car. Light commercial, cargo cycles, rail, port and yard equipment, and the charging that has to sit behind them.

  • Duty cycle measured, not assumed
  • Depot charging and grid connection
  • Total cost that survives an accountant
A four layer network handing its output to a document that can be checked A neural network drawn as four vertical layers of nodes joined by thin lines, where every fifth connection is violet and stronger. On the right the network hands over a document with three lines of text. Above the layers stand the words in, on device and answers for it, and below the scene stands evaluated on a set you hold. IN ON DEVICE ANSWERS FOR IT EVALUATED ON A SET YOU HOLD

03

Artificial intelligence

Models that run on a device and answer for their output. We build the ones that have to be right, not the ones that have to be impressive in a demo.

  • On device and edge inference
  • Evaluation before deployment, with the failures written down
  • The EU AI Act role settled before launch, not after
A circuit board seen from directly above with its tracks being drawn A circuit board seen from above. Three tracks in blue and violet draw themselves across the board between components, and in the middle sits a package with nine legs on each side, lit by the cone. Measurement lines show the width of the board. Above stands it has to boot, below stand schematic, layout, enclosure and EMC. IT HAS TO BOOT SCHEMATIC . LAYOUT . ENCLOSURE . EMC

04

Hardware

Boards, enclosures, sensors and the firmware between them. We build a thing you can hold, measure and take to a test house.

  • Schematic, layout and a board that boots
  • Enclosure and mechanics, printed and then tooled
  • EMC and safety pre testing before the booked slot

What we sell

Consulting, in two halves and one arrangement

You can buy either half on its own. Most engagements begin with the reading and stop there, which is the point of doing it first.

An agent loop of four boxes with a stop rule drawn below it Four boxes named trigger, plan, act and check stand in a ring with arrows running clockwise between them. The check box is drawn heavier than the other three. To the right three violet boxes marked tools connect to the ring. From the check box a glowing line falls to a blinking point above a violet line, under the words a loop without a stop rule is not in production. TRIGGER PLAN ACT CHECK TOOLS A LOOP WITHOUT A STOP RULE IS NOT IN PRODUCTION TRIGGER . PLAN . ACT . CHECK

AI and innovation consulting

Models that answer for their output, robot cells laid out around the person, and the evaluation set that proves either one works. This is most of what we are hired for.

Research and patent work

We read the patent record, the standards and the literature for your problem and hand you a written landscape with a recommendation. The recommendation is sometimes to stop.

Patent research
Three stacked layers with the client product on top and the platform beneath Three bars are stacked. The top is marked your product, the middle our engineering, and the bottom, drawn in violet, GADDR platform. Arrows point down between them. Under the lowest bar four small violet boxes are marked search, mail, storage and pay. A glowing line runs from the middle bar to a blinking point marked we sign here. YOUR PRODUCT OUR ENGINEERING GADDR PLATFORM SEARCH MAIL STORAGE PAY WE SIGN HERE WHO CARRIES WHAT

The technology underneath

GADDR carries the platform: search, mail, storage, jobs and payments, already running. You start further along and somebody else keeps the foundations up.

How it fits together

Where the work is right now

Two of the fields have their own build

Kitchens and unmanned aircraft are where most of the current work sits. Both start from the same reading and end in something you can measure.

A dough line drawn as divider, proofer and sheeter with the times marked On the left a hopper drops portions of dough marked two hundred and sixty grams. In the middle a proofing cabinet holds twelve dough balls in three rows, each row larger than the one above, marked proof twenty four hours. On the right two rollers flatten the dough into a sheet marked four millimetres. Along the bottom a blue curve rises and falls under the words time is the ingredient nobody can shorten. 260 g PROOF . 24 h 4 mm TIME IS THE INGREDIENT NOBODY CAN SHORTEN DIVIDER . PROOFER . SHEETER

01

Pizza

Dough is time and the oven sets the pace. The line is designed backwards from the oven, and everything upstream has to keep up.

Dough and oven
A clamshell griddle in section with the core temperature curve below Two heated plates are drawn in section, the upper one lowered onto the lower. Nine short lines mark the ridges on each plate and a glowing line runs between them. A violet ellipse between the plates is the patty, with a blinking point at its centre. Below, a blue curve rises through three measured points to a dashed limit line marked seventy degrees, under the words core temperature is the only done. CLOSED 70 C CORE TEMPERATURE IS THE ONLY DONE CONTACT ON BOTH SIDES HALVES THE TIME

02

Burgers

Contact on both sides halves the time. Seventy degrees in the core is fixed by food safety and the machine is built around it.

Grill and assembly
Three dosing hoppers over a bowl, with the soft filling marked separately Three hoppers stand in a row, each with a chute below it and a violet ellipse showing how much it drops, marked in grams. The rightmost is drawn heavier than the other two. Under them a bowl is drawn in section with a measurement across it reading two hundred and twenty millimetres, one hand. To the right a soft folded shape is outlined in violet and marked soft. 68 g 44 g 80 g 220 mm . ONE HAND SOFT PORTION . FILL . FOLD WHAT A GRIPPER CANNOT DO, A DOSER CAN

03

Tacos and bowls

Eight loose fillings and nothing a gripper can hold. Each one wants its own doser, and dosers are the cheap part.

Portion and fill
A delivery route that curves around a no fly cone between a depot and a door A depot on the left and a door on the right sit on a ground line. A straight line joins them and is marked straight line, not available. Above it a drawn curve bends up and over a violet cone marked no fly. A small four rotor aircraft sits on the curve carrying a package marked one point eight kilos, with a glowing line falling from it toward the ground. DEPOT DOOR STRAIGHT LINE . NOT AVAILABLE NO FLY 1.8 kg DEPOT . ROUTE . DOOR

04

Delivery drones

The last mile is thirty seconds at each end. Finding somewhere acceptable to land decides more than the aircraft does.

The last mile
A patrol route around a building with three sensors listed and faces struck out A building is drawn from above inside a larger rectangle that is the patrol route. Four waypoints sit at its corners, the first one blinking. On the right three boxes list thermal, gas and sound. Below them a fourth box is crossed through with a violet cross and marked no faces. Across the middle of the building stand the words an instrument, not a witness. WP1 WP2 WP3 WP4 THERMAL GAS SOUND NO FACES AN INSTRUMENT, NOT A WITNESS PATROL . MEASURE . REPORT

05

Inspection and security

A patrol that measures rather than watches. Thermal, gas and sound, and a camera that cannot resolve a face.

The round
Two columns of cost bars where the ingredient row is identical in both Six named cost rows are drawn twice, once under by hand and once under with machines. Every row is shorter in the second column except the first, ingredients, which is exactly the same length in both and joined across by a violet line. Under the columns stand the words the ingredient line does not move, and below that one hundred and thirty kronor to seventy, a worked model. BY HAND WITH MACHINES INGREDIENTS PREP COOK SERVICE WASTE OTHER THE INGREDIENT LINE DOES NOT MOVE 130 kr -> 70 kr . A WORKED MODEL

06

The arithmetic

A pizza at 130 kronor becomes one at 70, and the ingredient line does not move. That is the whole test of an honest saving.

Line by line

Where we do the reading

The subjects, and what the first question usually is

The method is the same in every row. What changes is which constraint bites first, and that is what the first week finds out.

SubjectWhat we read forWhat usually bites first
Transport and vehiclesPack architecture, charging interfaces, type approvalHeat, and a standard that moved
Food and bakingOvens, dough handling, food contact materials, hygiene designCleaning, and the temperature the dough actually needs
Robots and automationCell layout, safeguarded space, cycle time, machine safetyThe safety standard, which decides the floor plan
Textile and materialsFibre, weave, finish, wear, what it leaves behindWear, and what the washing does to it
Enterprise automation at scaleThroughput, failure modes, what happens when one node stopsThe exception path, which nobody drew
Artificial intelligenceWhat the model was trained on, tested against, and cannot doThe pipeline, not the model

A pizza oven and a battery pack are the same problem written twice: get heat where you want it, keep it away from where you do not, and prove it repeatably. That is why one house can hold both.

A three tier archive shelf with one document pulled out into the light Three shelves filled with document spines of varying height, drawn in thin outline. In the middle of the second shelf one document is pulled out and lit by the cone, showing four lines of text and a violet underline. Above stands the failures are the useful half, below stand granted, lapsed, withdrawn and rejected. THE FAILURES ARE THE USEFUL HALF GRANTED . LAPSED . WITHDRAWN . REJECTED

Patent research

The patent record is the largest engineering library on earth, and almost nobody opens it

Over a hundred million patent documents are public and machine readable. Most of them describe things that did not work, filed by people who spent real money finding that out. That is the useful half. A granted claim tells you what you cannot sell. An abandoned application tells you what not to try.

We search that record before a budget is committed. Not to file something, and not to sell you a legal opinion. We do it so the first prototype is aimed at the gap rather than at the wall.

When the search says the idea is taken, we say so on the call, and we stop. That is a cheap week rather than an expensive year.

How the search works

Read on

Three pages that answer the rest

Three pages with room for the whole answer.

Two people at a table with one document between them A table drawn in thin outline with a simple figure seated at each end. On the table a single document is lit by a glowing line falling from above, with two lines of violet text on it. Faint lines run from each figure to the document. Along the bottom stand the words same document, both sides, and price fixed before the work. SAME DOCUMENT . BOTH SIDES PRICE FIXED BEFORE THE WORK

Prices

One number, agreed before the first hour. The rates are written down here rather than asked for.

A drawing with three circled findings and a reviewer beside it A drawing in thin outline with eight lines of text and a centre line. Three places are circled in violet with a line running out into the margin. On the right stands a figure drawn as a circle and a shoulder line, joined to the drawing by a glowing line. Above stands read by someone not invited to the next meeting. READ BY SOMEONE NOT INVITED TO THE NEXT MEETING TWO WEEKS. ONE DOCUMENT.

The honest comparison

Three real alternatives, and what each of them does better than us.

Five boxes in a row with a dashed return path from the check Five boxes stand in a line marked collect, clean, model, check and ship, joined by glowing arrows. A dashed line runs from the check box back to the first, with the words fails the check, goes back beneath it. Along the bottom stand the words provenance at every step. COLLECT CLEAN MODEL CHECK SHIP FAILS THE CHECK, GOES BACK PROVENANCE AT EVERY STEP

Questions

The ones that decide whether this is worth a call, answered plainly.

The work

Six fields, and what the work looks like in each

The house is one method applied to different subjects. These are six of them.

  • En drönare i luften med last
    An unmanned aircraft in flight, where payload and endurance trade against each other.
  • En linje som gör pizza
    A kitchen at the moment the work is hardest to automate: the last cut before it goes out.
  • En robotcell i produktion
    A robot cell, where the safety standard decides the floor plan.
  • Ett elfordon
    Charging posts underground, where the connection costs more than the parking bay.
  • Additiv tillverkning på nära håll
    Additive manufacturing, where the cost follows the volume instead of the shape.
  • Textil och fiber på nära håll
    Woven cloth, where the weave and the seam decide how long the garment lasts.

Under the hood

Twelve places the work happens

Depots, greenhouses, server rooms and harbour cranes. Rest the pointer on any of them and the drawing answers: labels appear, parts lift, lights come on.
