INTERIM FOCUSED

Our focus is on results-oriented implementation. We typically work on an interim basis, deeply integrated into our clients' organizations, whether as project managers, coaches, or in functional roles. We place a strong emphasis on sustainability and establish lasting structures. We have maintained long-standing relationships with most of our clients and solve problems that are currently beyond the capabilities or scope of their core organizations.

Q

QUALITY

Quality isn't just a buzzword for us – it's a system. Our focus on experience forms the basis for outstanding results. Standardized processes, extracted from the experience gained in over 400 industrial projects, provide standards that guide our team. To ensure quality, we also rigorously implement the four-eyes principle – every project is additionally supervised by another person within the company.

IQX GROUP · AI is a top priority

Your company isn't ready for AI yet. Your employees are using it anyway.

Private accounts. Confidential data. No common rules. Companies that don't actively shape AI leave their employees to make their own decisions – unchecked.

With AIDA, you take the lead.

Their Corporate LLM program consolidates AI usage in a central corporate environment – with clear rules and suitable models. Also locally.

Get to know AIDA

IQX GROUP · Waiting is not a solution

The data is gone before the strategy is in place.

Workshops are underway. Use cases are being collected. The AI strategy is being developed. Meanwhile, company data continues to end up in private AI tools.

Confidential data off-site. Under conditions that employees have privately agreed to.
Knowledge remains scattered across individual chats. Common standards and a reliable knowledge base are lacking.
There is no overview of data flows. Which data went to which providers? Finding the answer requires tedious research.

Your data won't wait for the next workshop.

Develop your strategy – and simultaneously create an official AI environment with clear rules. With AIDA, you give your employees a shared alternative to private tools.

IQX GROUP · Relieving specialists of routine tasks

Why do you pay professionals to search, type, and copy?

The planner moves orders through Excel.
The dispatcher transfers data and distributes routine orders manually.
The designer searches for the approved drawing.
The service department writes the same instructions for the tenth time.

You're paying for experience and skill. How much of that do you waste on routine every day?

With company knowledge, suitable interfaces and defined rules, AIDA can:

Develop planning apps that fit your processes.
Plan automatically – based on capacities, deadlines and priorities.
Manage independently – within your specifications, with escalation in case of exceptions.
Finding knowledge and completing routine tasks – from document searches to report drafting.

Let your skilled workers do the skilled work.

AIDA takes care of the routine.

AI is a top priority. So is your data.

Do you want to entrust your company data to American cloud providers?

Offers, calculations, development knowledge: Those who use AI also decide to whom they entrust their data.

With AIDA, you decide where your data is located and processed.

On your own infrastructure with local models. In a shared cloud. Or a combination – depending on the task and confidentiality requirements.

Your data. Your rules. Your decision.

Get to know AIDA

IQX GROUP · Local AI requires its own computing power

Their AI doesn't need a third-party data center. It needs the right hardware.

Local AI runs on dedicated hardware. At IQX, we also use a compact AI computer for this purpose – with a dedicated GPU, plenty of RAM, and a fast SSD.

96 GB: DDR5 RAM · 5600 MHz
24 GB: GDDR7 graphics memory · RTX 5090 Mobile
24 cores: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX · up to 5.4 GHz
2 TB: NVMe SSD · PCIe 4.0

Your hardware. Your models. Your decision.

AIDA is not tied to this specific device. Other suitable workstations and servers are also an option. We select the hardware based on the model, tasks, and number of concurrent users.

Discussing local AI

Model examples · As of 11/2026: e.g., Qwen3.8 27B, Qwen3.5 9B and Qwen3 14B in memory-optimized variants. Context length and parallel usage are adapted to the available memory.

Example configuration · Photomontage with AiDA branding

1 / 5

AIDA from IQX GROUP is a central AI environment for businesses (Corporate LLM). It connects company knowledge, people, processes, and AI models – locally, in shared cloud services, or a combination thereof. Planning and scheduling are implemented using connected data, interfaces, and defined decision rules. Learn more about AI consulting and implementation.
