The company Gimic develops AI-based systems for automated quality control in the manufacturing industry and is the first to undergo RISE’s new Risk Assessment Analysis Service for evaluating systems in relation to the EU AI Act. The service has been developed within the framework of CitCom.ai TEF.
“We received a clear report showing where we stand today and what steps we need to take going forward,” says Anders Cederlund, Project Manager at Gimic.
Supporting decision-making and strategic planning
The goal of the service is to support decision-making and strategic planning for AI-based products and services, focusing on analysis and compliance with the AI Act and other AI-related regulations.
AI as the final puzzle piece
Gimic develops AI-based systems for automated quality control in industrial production. Instead of an operator manually inspecting, for example, a gear to identify defects, cameras and AI models are used.
“We see our technology as the final puzzle piece in fully automated factories. Today, almost the entire production flow is automated, but the final inspection is often still manual. With our solution, the process can become fully automated—from pallet to pallet—while also becoming more traceable,” says Henrik Arvsell, CEO of Gimic.
How does the service work?
The process began with the company filling out a form describing the technical and functional aspects of their system. They then participated in a workshop together with CitCom.ai partner RISE to clarify details and use cases. After the workshop, RISE produced a report containing an analysis of risk classification and recommendations for the next steps.
The assessment showed that the company’s AI model currently falls within a low-risk level. However, it also became clear that the risk level could increase if the system were delivered to clients in more sensitive sectors, such as critical infrastructure, or if it were used as part of a safety system.
“As a small organization, it was valuable for us to get structure and guidance. It would have taken much longer to interpret all the legal and technical requirements on our own,” says Anders Cederlund.
“The important thing is that we now have a map to navigate by. We can already demonstrate to customers and partners that we work systematically with risk management, and we know what will be required if we enter more regulated markets,” continues Cederlund.
Building trust
With its technology, Gimic envisions a future where quality control is not only fully automated but also more reliable and traceable, leading to safer and more efficient industrial processes. Ensuring compliance with AI regulations at an early stage is crucial.
“Our ambition is to contribute to a fully automated and quality-assured industry. I am convinced that AI regulations will become mandatory in the near future. Companies developing AI solutions will need to demonstrate compliance with directives and standards. By engaging early, we are better prepared and strengthen the trust of our customers,” concludes Henrik Arvsell.
