RAG vs Fine-Tuning: Choosing the Right LLM Approach for Your Product
Both RAG and fine-tuning improve LLM performance on your specific use case — but they solve different problems. Here's how to choose.
AI that runs the factory floor
OVERVIEW
Industrial operations generate enormous amounts of sensor data and face chronic inefficiencies in maintenance, quality, and throughput. We build AI and IoT systems that turn operational data into competitive advantage — on the factory floor, in logistics, and across supply chains.
Predictive Maintenance
Sensor-based ML systems that predict equipment failure days in advance, reducing unplanned downtime.
Computer Vision Quality Control
Real-time visual inspection systems that catch defects at line speed with sub-second detection.

WHAT WE BUILD
Sensor-based ML systems that predict equipment failure days in advance, reducing unplanned downtime.
Real-time visual inspection systems that catch defects at line speed with sub-second detection.
AI systems that optimize inventory, routing, and supplier decisions using real-time and predictive data.
Virtual replicas of physical assets and processes for simulation, optimization, and monitoring.
CASE EXAMPLES
Problem
Unexpected equipment failures caused unplanned production downtime with no advance warning from existing monitoring.
Solution
Vibration and temperature anomaly detection model deployed on edge hardware, running local inference on sensor streams.
Outcome
Failure events preceded by advance alerts, enabling scheduled maintenance. Unplanned downtime incidents reduced.
Problem
Manual quality inspection was creating a bottleneck at production speed with inconsistent results.
Solution
Computer vision defect detection model on edge hardware, classifying products at line speed with sub-second inference.
Outcome
Inspection throughput matched line speed. Detection consistency improved over manual inspection.
Problem
HVAC and lighting ran on fixed schedules regardless of actual occupancy — significant energy waste.
Solution
Occupancy prediction model on edge hardware controlling building systems based on real-time sensor inference.
Outcome
Energy consumption reduced during low-occupancy periods. No infrastructure replacement required.
RESULTS
ENGAGEMENT FLOW
Understand equipment, sensor data availability, existing SCADA/MES systems, and failure patterns.
Connect to OPC-UA, MQTT, or proprietary protocols and normalize sensor streams for ML use.
Train anomaly detection, classification, or forecasting models on historical operational data.
Deploy inference to edge hardware with constraints on compute, memory, and connectivity.
Connect AI outputs to alerting, control layers, or maintenance workflows. Field validate under real conditions.

Yes. We build integration layers that connect AI systems to OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, and proprietary industrial protocols. We work with your operational technology team throughout the integration.
Clients typically see 20–40% reduction in unplanned downtime within the first year. ROI depends on your equipment cost and failure frequency — we model this during discovery.
Both. Many industrial clients require on-premise or private cloud deployment for security and latency reasons. We design for your infrastructure constraints.
