PHYSICAL AI · INDUSTRIAL AI · QUANTUM

Frontier AI and Quantum, engineered for the real world.

We build end-to-end AI systems for physical industries, and bring quantum computing within reach of MSMEs.

  • Sensor to cloud, one team
  • Edge-first, offline-capable
  • Benchmarks before claims

THE iQ EQUATION

The name is the thesis.

Two disciplines, one lab. Put the halves together and the result is already spelled out.

ai

Artificial Intelligence

Frontier models applied to machines, lines and fleets — not slide decks.

Qu

Quantum

Hybrid and quantum-inspired methods an MSME can run on real workloads.

iQ

Engineered Intelligence

One accountable team across sensors, silicon, models and cloud.

Two halves of the name share two letters. Put them together and iQ is already there — applied intelligence, engineered for industry.

WHAT WE BUILD

Five build types, one delivery model.

Each starts with a measured baseline and ends with a system your own team can run.

Physical AI & Edge

Perception and decision-making that run on the device: smart cameras, robots, drones and machines. Sensor fusion feeds a model; the model closes a control loop in milliseconds.

Outcomes

  • 01Inference on-device, no cloud round-trip
  • 02Deterministic latency budgets you can audit
  • 03Runs on the hardware your plant already has

END-TO-END CUSTOM AI

We own the stack from sensor and silicon to cloud.

Six stages, one accountable team. No handoff between a data vendor, a hardware shop and an integrator.

  1. Step 01

    Discover

    Walk the floor, watch the process, and write down the decision the model has to make. Scope, constraints and a success metric before code.

    • Problem brief
    • Success metric
  2. Step 02

    Data

    Instrument what is missing, label what exists, and build the capture rig. We design the dataset for the failure modes that matter.

    • Capture rig
    • Labelled set
  3. Step 03

    Model

    Train against a measured baseline. Architecture chosen for the latency and power budget of the target device, not for a leaderboard.

    • Benchmarks
    • Model card
  4. Step 04

    Edge & Hardware

    Quantise, compile and integrate: board selection, sensor interfaces, firmware, thermals and enclosure. The model meets real silicon here.

    • Board bring-up
    • Firmware
  5. Step 05

    Deploy

    Staged rollout on one line or one fleet, shadow-mode first. Operators see what the system sees, and can override it.

    • Pilot line
    • Operator UI
  6. Step 06

    MLOps & Support

    Monitoring for drift, scheduled retraining, OTA updates and an on-call path. Handover docs so your team can run it alone.

    • Drift monitors
    • OTA pipeline

Qu · QUANTUM FOR MSMEs

Quantum computing, without buying a quantum computer.

The hard planning problems in mid-sized industry are exactly the shape these methods target. Access is now a cloud bill, not a capital project.

Why now

Cloud QPUs are rentable by the minute, and quantum-inspired solvers already run on classical hardware. You can test the approach without buying anything.

Why MSMEs

Mid-sized manufacturers and logistics firms sit on exactly the combinatorial problems these methods target — and plan them in spreadsheets today.

How it works

Hybrid quantum-classical pipelines, quantum-inspired algorithms, and cloud QPU access. The classical fallback always stays in the loop.

No hardware purchase

Start with the readiness assessment

Eight questions about your planning problems, your data and who would own the result. You get a readiness band and a concrete next step — in your browser, nothing sent anywhere.

  • Cloud QPU access, billed by usage
  • Quantum-inspired solvers on your existing servers
  • Classical fallback always in the loop

WHY aiQu

Four reasons engineering teams pick us.

No channel partners, no reseller margin, no model you cannot inspect after we leave.

  1. Full-stack, silicon to software

    Sensor selection, board design, firmware, models, edge runtime and cloud — under one roof. Fewer vendors, fewer integration gaps, one throat to choke.

  2. Engineering-first

    We benchmark before we build and publish the numbers internally. If a classical method wins, we ship the classical method and say so.

  3. Built for MSME budgets

    Scoped pilots with a fixed price and a decision gate at the end. Cloud QPU access and existing plant hardware instead of capital purchases.

  4. Own-your-IP delivery

    You keep the models, the weights, the source and the data. No per-seat lock-in, no black box you cannot open after we leave.

TECH ECOSYSTEM

We work across the stack, not around it.

Vendor-neutral by default. We pick the board, framework and solver that fit the constraint, then document why.
