AI for industry and manufacturing, under your control.
Orders, delivery notes, technical enquiries and knowledge from manuals: behind every delivery there is a lot of office work. AI READY AT builds AI agents that take over and prepare these processes, run locally if required so trade secrets stay in house.
AI for manufacturing businesses
Where the office work in production hides.
Carinthia is more industrial than Austria as a whole: production accounts for 36.3 percent of gross value added, compared with 27.4 percent across Austria. Manufacturing alone stands at 20.0 percent, energy supply at 8.2 percent. Around Villach, a centre for electronics and semiconductors has also developed. WKÖ statistics ↗ ORF Carinthia ↗
Alongside machines and plants, every business runs recurring office processes: capturing orders, checking delivery notes, answering enquiries, searching documents. That is exactly where AI agents come in. According to Statistics Austria, businesses in Carinthia already use AI more for automating processes than for data analysis.
Design data, prices and customer lists are trade secrets. That is why, if you wish, we run AI models locally at your site or in a European data centre and use the AIROS Gateway to check what goes to external services.
Use cases
Where AI agents take work off industrial businesses.
Processes between email, document and ERP. Exceptions and approvals stay with your team.
Order capture
Orders from email and PDF are read, items, quantities and dates transferred into the ERP and deviations flagged. Your sales back office checks and approves.
Delivery notes and invoices
Order, delivery note and invoice are matched. If something does not fit, the case goes to the responsible person with a reason.
Technical enquiries and quotes
Enquiries with drawings and specifications are pre-sorted, missing details identified and quotes prepared from your master data.
Knowledge from manuals
An AI assistant answers questions about machines, maintenance and work instructions and shows the source in the document, in shift operation too.
Complaints
Capture and summarise complaints and prepare reports for quality assurance.
Purchasing
Make supplier quotes and price requests easy to compare.
Key figures
Order intake, delivery reliability and open items in a clear AI dashboard.
Trade secrets
Local models, narrow permissions and a complete log of every step.

FAQ
AI in industry: briefly explained.
Does it work with our ERP system?
If your ERP has an interface, we connect it directly. If not, an AI agent can operate the user interface like a person. We clarify this during the analysis.
Do design data and prices stay in house?
If you wish, yes. We run AI models locally at your business or in a European data centre and use the AIROS Gateway to check what goes to external AI services.
Does the AI agent replace back-office staff?
No. It takes over recurring steps such as typing and matching. Your team checks deviations and approves.
Which company sizes is this for?
Our focus is on small and medium-sized businesses. What matters is a process that recurs regularly and a person who knows it well. AI for SMEs
Does AI READY AT only work in Carinthia?
No. Our Carinthia office is in Villach, but we work across Austria, with further offices in Graz and Himberg.
