FAQ

We provide an on-premise setup that eliminates the need for cloud integrations, ensuring full control over your data. The system deploys securely via the OPC UA platform, allowing smooth, protected data exchange. Additionally, ownership of the data remains entirely with you, and we never share it with any third parties.

As a fast-growing startup attracting strong market interest, we’re committed to long-term growth and stability. We provide yearly maintenance to keep your model updated and performing optimally, backed by dedicated specialists that ensure our solutions stay in sync with your evolving process needs.

Although your team will need to provide data and feedback, we handle most of the model-building process, offloading much of the workload away from you. This means your time commitment is limited to essential inputs and approvals. In return, you gain a comprehensive solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows.

Mechanistic AI offers transparency through a “grey-box” design, combining data-driven techniques with real-world process knowledge. This hybrid approach lets you see how the model interprets your process behavior, unlike traditional black-box methods. As a result, you can validate predictions with confidence and gain clear insights into the system’s operation.
