WHAT WE DO
Build a process that can be operated
AI Engineering in Winterthur: software or an agent designed for a defined task, connected to your systems. Inputs, access rights and acceptable errors are scoped before the prototype; production follows testing and your approval.
01START WITH A REAL TASK
Example engineering assignment to scope in Winterthur: extract operations from an industrial maintenance sheet. A prototype agent receives an authorised input, prepares a proposal and routes it to an owner before any external action. Evaluation covers errors, exceptions and cost per case; connection to business software depends on available interfaces.
Illustrative working example — not a client case01A request and your data
A business owner and IT validate access, test examples and acceptance. Together we organise each phase.
02A solution connected to your tools
Prototype: test an authorised sample against a business reference.
03A result checked by your team
Documentation, handover and operating arrangements
HOW IT TYPICALLY RUNS
A result you can check
One precise piece of work or several in sequence. The proposal sets the work; a subscription reserves hours each month for an agreed list of priorities.
Prototype: test an authorised sample against a business reference.
Delivery and tests agreed in the proposal
Delivery: agree thresholds, error monitoring, rollback and an operational owner.
Documentation, handover and operating arrangements

Bring a process map, systems to connect, authorised examples and volumes. Identify who approves access and who accepts the result; production access is never implicit. Read the preparation guide ↗
WHY THIS MATTERS HERE · Winterthur
On site in Winterthur, remote across Switzerland
The second city of the canton of Zurich and the former machinery town (Sulzer, Rieter), Winterthur also hosts the head office of a major insurer and the ZHAW university of applied sciences.
Winterthur is the second city of the canton of Zurich and the former capital of machinery: the Sulzer and Rieter halls have become office, school and startup districts, while industrial groups keep development centres there. The city also hosts the head office of a major insurer, a university of applied sciences, the ZHAW, and a fabric of SMEs in mechanics, building technology and IT services working for the whole Zurich region.
Winterthur’s requests are concrete: extracting operations from a maintenance sheet, writing assembly instructions in a controlled vocabulary, preparing answers to claims or underwriting questionnaires, documenting IT procedures for the clients of a service company. The engineers here expect verifiable results, with sources, and a clear separation between what the tool proposes and what the person validates.
Workshops in Winterthur take place on your premises, in Oberwinterthur, Töss, Wülflingen or near the Sulzer site; follow-up reviews run by video call, in German or English, with the prompts and sources kept in a shared file.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START
Before the first conversation
Do we have to replace our software to connect an agent?
That depends on the available interfaces and permissions. We first check exports and APIs; integration is not promised before this review.
When can a prototype go live?
After representative testing, agreement on acceptable errors and a support plan. No fixed timeline applies to every project.
How is a project in Winterthur priced?
The quote separates scoping, implementation and operation, based on volumes, interfaces and required checks. Locations and travel are specified before commitment.
