AI and IoT consulting and development for operations that can't afford to fail. Every answer backed by evidence; your data wherever you decide.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE
We come from building and running industrial IoT platforms for tier-one telecom operators and utilities: more than a million devices responding in under 200 ms, device management for a national smart-metering programme and more than ten years serving the monitoring centre of a major power company.
We have brought local AI to defence operators, built industrial cybersecurity that works offline, led and delivered national and European R&D projects, and installed the electrical and communications infrastructure all of it runs on. That experience taught us something essential:
AI only belongs in operations when it can prove what it says.
That is why we design and develop systems and products that can be audited, operated and understood.

THE APPROACHThis is how we understand modern engineering
We are a small, senior team that does consulting, custom development and our own products, and stays on to run what we build if you need it. We come from systems that cannot go down, and that shapes how we work: we measure before we promise, AI has to justify what it says and your data stays wherever you decide. The people you talk to are the people who build it. Open each principle to see what it means for your operation.
01
Systems that hold their stability under pressure
A demand spike gives no warning. We design platforms that scale with the load, contain the failure and recover on their own, like the ones we have run with more than a million devices.
The load changes; the service does not.

02
We design for operation, not for theory
What works on the whiteboard breaks with the first spike or the first invoice. We test every decision against real load, failures and cost before we build, and the infrastructure is written as code.
Every service has a clear purpose and a cost you can point at.

FAILURE

COST

03
AI embedded in the operation, and accountable
A model that is wrong sounds just as sure as when it is right. Ours pairs every prediction with its uncertainty, its explanation and a warning when the data is unusual. If it can’t justify itself, a person decides.
AI that is part of the system, not a separate module.

IoT with critical infrastructure
Thousands of units in the field, each with its own firmware and coverage. Its own identity per unit, ordered telemetry even when the network fails and verified remote commands, as in national-scale smart-meter rollouts.
From the edge to the cloud, with no weak points.

Scalability without unnecessary complexity
Growing should not mean rewriting. We measure, isolate the piece that saturates and extend only that one: no accumulated complexity, and a cost that grows in proportion, not in jumps.
Simplicity is a principle, not a sacrifice.

We operate what we build, and it shows when you use it
Delivering is not finishing. We leave it observed, redundant and with an automated, rehearsed response, documented and handed over to your team. And if you prefer, we run it for you.
Resilience is a behaviour, not a concept.

SERVICES
NOVAE SKILLS
Applied AI: from pilot to production
Your pilot works in the demo but not in operations. We design it, develop it and take it to production with a defined scope, continuous evaluation, traceability and human control: AI you can audit.
- Use cases
- Human-in-the-loop agents
- Document retrieval
- Continuous evaluation
- Integration
- Training
AIoT, edge and telemetry
AIoT is IoT with AI built in: every reading arrives analysed, with anything anomalous already flagged. We have our own platform, but you don’t need to replace yours: we improve the one you already have with AI, edge, per-unit security and offline operation.
- Fleet provisioning
- Per-unit identity and security
- Telemetry
- OTA updates
- AI at the edge
- Offline operation
Critical systems engineering
We design and develop distributed and real-time systems that absorb spikes, isolate failures and can be observed. And when the bottleneck can no longer be fixed by adding machines: profiling, redesign and verification under load.
- Distributed architecture
- Event ingestion
- High performance
- Observability
- Load and failure testing
- Process automation
R&D and consortium projects
We prepare, coordinate and deliver national and European R&D projects in defence, security, energy, health and space: from the proposal to a demonstrator that works.
- Proposals and consortia
- Work packages
- Demonstrators
- Defence and security
- Space
- Technology transfer

CASE STUDIES
What the team has done
Real projects by members of the team, anonymised for confidentiality: the sector and the result, without the client’s name.
Local AI for surveillance operators
- Challenge
- Look up the operations manual and review control-room activity without a single piece of data leaving the network.
- What we did
- A 100 % local assistant that answers with citations to the manual, forensic reports and six suspicious-pattern detectors that cite every audit record.
- Result
- Validated with several simultaneous users before the client demo, and vessel detection on video with 89.7 % precision in the proof of concept.
More than a million devices, managed remotely
- Challenge
- Run a fleet of more than a million units without sending a technician out for every incident.
- What we did
- A device-management platform at scale, with the units managed remotely.
- Result
- 78 % fewer technician call-outs and under 200 ms round trip.
Industrial cybersecurity, offline
- Challenge
- Know what is on an industrial network and what vulnerabilities it has without sending a single packet or relying on the internet.
- What we did
- A probe built from scratch in six months: passive analysis of industrial protocols, more than 300,000 vulnerabilities searchable locally and anomaly detection.
- Result
- Zero packets lost over an hour and a half of live demo, using less than 1 GB of memory.
FAQ
What people usually ask us
What does NovaeMinds do?
We design, develop and run AI and IoT systems for operations that can’t afford to fail: applied AI, AIoT and edge platforms, critical systems and R&D projects. We do it with our own products —NovaeOps, CogniX and RAGNIX— that make every project cheaper, and with a team where the people you talk to are the people who build it.
Do you do consulting or development too?
Both. We help you decide what is worth doing, and then we develop it to measure, integrate it with your systems, put it into production and, if you want, run it. We also train your team so they can maintain it.
Can I improve my IoT platform without replacing it?
Yes. Although we have our own platform, you don’t need to migrate to improve: we add AI, edge, per-unit security or offline operation to the platform you already have.
Why do so many AI pilots never reach production?
Because they are designed for the demo, not for operations: unprepared data, no success criterion, no integration and nobody accountable when the AI gets it wrong. According to MIT, 95 % of organisations get no measurable return from their generative AI pilots. We set the success criterion before we start.
Can you work without our data leaving our network?
Yes. Our products run on your infrastructure, at the edge or offline, and we can develop inside your network.
How much does it cost to get started?
It depends on the scope. That is why we start with a 45-minute assessment and, if it makes sense, a pilot with a fixed scope and price before committing to anything else.
Do you work with small companies?
Yes: municipalities, water service companies, irrigation communities, energy communities and industrial SMEs. And some of our products will be available to buy directly, without a project.
