CONTACT has introduced Fourier AI, a powerful and scalable artificial intelligence infrastructure built specifically for demanding industrial environments.
The new solution combines advanced AI technologies with complete data sovereignty and deep engineering and manufacturing intelligence to maximize efficiency and speed across development, production, and service operations.
For industrial enterprises, AI is no longer a futuristic concept it’s a present-day priority. Yet, many general-purpose AI tools fail to meet real-world industrial needs.
They often fragment data, complicate system landscapes, increase costs, and compromise data security. Fourier AI addresses those challenges head-on, providing a secure and domain-specific AI foundation tailored to industrial workflows.
AI Built for Industry, Not Consumers
Fourier AI is purpose-designed for industries like mechanical and plant engineering, automotive, and other highly regulated sectors.
Unlike general AI tools, it delivers domain-specific capabilities across public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises environments ensuring contextual access to multimodal data wherever it resides.
“We developed Fourier because industrial AI has very different requirements compared to consumer AI,” said Frank Patz-Brockmann, CONTACT’s CTO. “Engineers searching for similar components, for example, need AI that understands geometries, materials, and manufacturing processes precisely.”
Fourier AI achieves this by combining leading AI models with specialized industrial applications developed by CONTACT for complex engineering tasks. Its Fourier Orchestrator automatically selects the optimal model—whether in-house, open-source, or from third-party providers—while maintaining full transparency and cost control.
Seamlessly Integrated with CONTACT Elements
Fourier AI integrates deeply into the CONTACT Elements platform, serving as an intelligent layer that connects data and processes across every engineering discipline.
This integration ensures that AI applications deliver contextual, reliable results anchored in a holistic understanding of the product lifecycle, from customer requirement to final assembly.
Security and compliance are built into the foundation. The platform’s existing access rights and governance policies are automatically enforced, ensuring every AI-driven action remains transparent and fully auditable.
Digital Sovereignty by Design
Developed under the “Security by Design” principle, Fourier AI offers full data sovereignty.
Sensitive engineering data can stay on-premises, while compute-intensive AI operations run anonymously in a secure, GDPR-compliant cloud environment.
This architecture provides both performance and protection ensuring that intellectual property and operational know-how remain fully under customer control.
With its combination of domain-specific intelligence, flexible deployment, and rigorous data protection, CONTACT Fourier AI gives industrial companies the tools they need to embed AI seamlessly into their operations—unlocking new levels of productivity, efficiency, and innovation.
