AI Services

Use Cases and HOOD AI Services

Speed is of the essence for our customers. They need to respond to market changes with extremely short reaction times. This ability is becoming increasingly vital. This means that products and services have to be adapted and manufactured very quickly. And all while maintaining consistently high quality and guaranteeing the necessary regulatory requirements, norms and safety standards.

This is where our AI services come in. They significantly reduce the manual workload of the technical experts involved and significantly decimate waiting times during two-way communication between engineers and specialists.

Use Cases “Accelerate procurement”

Procurement and tendering processes are significantly shortened with high quality documents and an efficient automated commenting process.

HOOD AI Service “Quality assurance of specifications”

Our customers want to check the quality of a large volume of data very quickly and efficiently eliminate any defects identified. Our AI service provides AI generated comments for their specifications, requirements specifications and functional specifications as well as suitable improvement offers for all their requirements. In an iterative-incremental process, robust and reliable descriptions and definitions are created within a short period of time, which subsequently accelerate procurement by purchasing and engineering in product development in equal measure.

Use Case “Shorten development time”

Getting to market quickly with new and adapted products is a decisive competitive advantage. The duration of development up to the “Start of Production” (SoP) is a critical success factor.

HOOD AI Service “Classification and allocation of requirements”

Our customers are often in a situation where a comprehensive set of requirements needs to be assessed and classified quickly according to individual criteria. For example, the following questions need to be answered:

Which requirements are relevant to a subcontractor's topic?
Which requirements include interfaces and interface communication?
Which requirements are relevant for a system/component?
Which requirements describe a certain behavior?
Which requirements are verifiable?
Which requirements define the signal processing?

The HOOD AI service “Classification and allocation of requirements” provides suitable lists of requirements that are optimized in an iterative-incremental process to such an extent that a reliable classification is available within a short time.

This allows reviews, consistency checks, architecture evaluations and the definition of work packages and tender content to be accelerated. The quality and speed of decision making in the development process increases significantly, waiting times are massively reduced and the overall development time is significantly reduced.

HOOD AI Service “Risk assessment and vulnerability analysis”

Our customers need to quickly identify and mitigate risks and vulnerabilities arising from specifications, norms and standards. Our AI service provides an AI generated commentary and evaluation suggestions for all text objects. In an iterative-incremental process, a well-founded risk assessment and evaluation is created within a short period of time.

This enables customers to recognize the critical path in their development at an early stage, manage their risks precisely and save time.

Use Case “Developing MBSE of complex systems more efficiently by using digital models”

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in combination with MBSE helps our customers to automate complex system analyses, support decision making and increase efficiency. Appropriate visualization also makes the development of complex systems considerably easier.

HOOD AI Service for Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

Our AI service for MBSE enables our customers to check models for weaknesses and inconsistencies and to automatically convert text into models and models into text. This is possible with UML, SysML v1.x and SysML v2 models. SysML v2 is a new version of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) that offers improvements over the older SysML 1.x, including better usability, extended functionalities and a stronger focus on digital transformations.

What makes our AI services so unique and effective?

The HOOD Group offers AI services that significantly reduce development times while improving the quality of development artifacts in the customer's development process.

We support customers with our AI services, from the AI strategy and the selection of suitable use cases to the development and roll out of technical services. Depending on the use case, suitable techniques are used:

Prompt Engineering
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
Fine tuning of language models
Knowledge Graphs
Agent systems

This underlines the HOOD Group's position as a thought leader and innovator in the field of AI supported systems engineering. In over 10 years of experience in research projects in the field of AI development in the EE environment, such as ProgressivKI, KI4BoardNet or KIMBA, state of the art industry offerings for the successful use of AI in product development have been and are being developed.

Environment

The HOOD AI services are provided on technical infrastructures operated in the EU. Our AI services are multi client capable, meet the GDPR requirements and comply with the provisions of the EU AI Act. We ensure compliance with IP and NDA requirements when using our AI services.

Our customers do not have to operate their own AI environment for many of our AI services, but can use our HOOD AI environment. We are currently working with French partner Mistral, among others, and also rely on the EU representation of Microsoft Azure services. We keep a constant watch on the market for our customers and are constantly expanding our range.
