Who we are

Two founders based in Lucerne, Switzerland, with executive experience in corporations and SMEs – working inside your organisation, not on the sidelines.

Industry meets digital

We come from industry – and we know digitalisation.

We have led industrial companies, subsidiaries and complex projects ourselves – as CEO, CFO and Head of Strategy. We speak the language of your plant floor and your boardroom.

Our name

AI + IoT = AIIOT

Our name combines two technologies that are changing industry: artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). But technology alone does not create value. That is why we bring AI and IoT together with your processes and your people – the three colours of our logo stand for exactly that.

Technology

AI and IoT: data from your machines and the intelligence to use it.

Process

Business model, workflows and governance that put technology to work.

People

Customers, organisation and culture, approached with empathy.
