About Ingot
Ingot is an AI engineering company. It turns raw requirements, sensor data and legacy drawings into validated designs, simulations and engineering decisions.
Ore in, metal you can build with out
An ingot is metal refined and cast, ready to become anything. That is the idea behind the company: ore goes in, and metal you can build with comes out.
Engineering teams in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure spend much of their time on iteration, rework and re-running slow physics solvers. Ingot aims to shorten that loop while keeping every output traceable to the standards the team already uses.
How we work with you
- Validated by default
- Every output carries its assumptions, its validation status against your standard, and a link to its source.
- Built with your engineers
- We work alongside your team, on your data, and show how each result was reached.
- Your engineers decide
- Ingot supports engineering decisions. It does not sign off designs; your engineers make the final call.
- Data terms first
- We agree how your data is used before any of it is shared, and keep each client’s data separate.
- Plain numbers
- Exact figures, clear limits and plain words. We publish a benchmark before we claim any speed-up.

Bring us one problem you can measure
Design partners get a fixed-scope pilot on one design or maintenance problem, built with their engineers and checked against their standards.
