InRecipe.AI · Industrial Data Enrichment · Live across industrial air, mining, marine & valves · 2026

Industrial data that
earns its keep.

InRecipe.AI turns messy equipment, parts, and item-master records into structured, verifiable data — and into the business outcomes that clean data finally unlocks. An industrial-services customer's contract-pricing ML model gained 50% accuracy. A mining OEM enriches a parts master that powers four downstream systems. A marine manufacturer's procurement and customs flows run from one trusted source.

§ 01 / 08InRecipe.AI

The problem you already know

Industrial companies sit on equipment, parts, and item-master databases they can't fully trust. The same Atlas Copco compressor appears four ways. Parts catalogs have the same SKU under five names. Item masters arrive at production planning with blanks where there should be cost, lead time, and HS code. And every analytics or pricing or compliance initiative downstream assumes clean inputs that don't exist.

The fleet you have

Mixed naming conventions across decades of acquisitions, CMMS migrations, and supplier portals. "ATLAS 90kW VSD #2" in one row, "Atlas Copco Compressor" in another, "kompressori 90 kW" in a third — all the same machine.

The work that doesn't scale

A data steward in Excel, working through 2,000 records by hand. Different stewards produce different answers. The work is invisible until something downstream breaks. Industrial companies hire more headcount to do the same job, slower.

The initiatives that stall

Predictive maintenance, contract pricing, procurement automation, customs compliance, ESG reporting, M&A integration — all of them assume clean equipment or parts data. None of them get it.

A good pilot looks like this

You have 50–100 messy equipment, part, or item-master records and one business outcome blocked by them — procurement, item creation, pricing, customs, analytics. We take a CSV export — no integration, no installation — and return evidence-graded output on your own records in one week: verified values, honest gaps, flagged estimates, and a clear read on what scaling up is worth. We bear the cost. You judge the output.

§ 02 / 08InRecipe.AI

What clean data unlocks

Clean master data isn't the goal - it's the unlock. The same enriched record moves margin, speeds procurement, and de-risks compliance: the initiatives you already want to run but can't, because the inputs aren't there. Here is what it frees up.

For procurement & sourcing
Items born correct

Stop chasing missing item data: supplier rows and datasheets become ERP-ready records — names, weights, customs codes, dimensions — with the evidence attached, before they ever enter the ERP.

Proven: 2,736 supplier rows → ERP-ready items
For ICT & data
No integration project

Clean the data without launching a six-month project: pilots run on CSV and CMMS exports, structured output comes back in a format your systems import, and you scale only after the data proves itself.

CSV in · evidence-graded output back · one week
For governance & compliance
Every value traceable

A verified value, an honest gap, or a flagged estimate — every cell dated, sourced, and attributable, with a human review queue and ownership rules to match. Built for the audit, not retrofitted for it.

Human oversight · audit trail · EU AI Act-shaped
One enrichment, many downstream wins - the same record feeding pricing, procurement, and compliance at once. One root cause, many costs: fix the data once, and every one of these lines moves.

What InRecipe.AI costs is a conversation, sized to your data — its volume, its complexity, and the quality bar you set. Not a per-seat license. The pilot is where you find out what fixing it is worth.

§ 03 / 08InRecipe.AI

What InRecipe.AI is

An enrichment layer with a trust gate, sitting between your raw industrial data and the systems that depend on it. You feed it a CSV, a CMMS export, or an item master; every record takes the same auditable path, declared up front in a recipe you sign off on. Skills read real sources and emit values with their evidence; a validator checks every claim before it reaches your database. Nothing enters on the AI's word alone. And you don't build any of it — the pack for your industry gets built with you, and you inherit what earlier customers in your vertical already built.

The pilots so far

The proof isn't a benchmark - it's the work itself. InRecipe runs on real registers today across industrial air, mining, marine, and industrial valves: four pack shapes - devices, parts, item-masters, and supplier catalogs composed into ERP-ready items - one method. Customers are named anonymously here; every figure is real.

Marine manufacturer

Marine Equipment pack · Active pilot

A boat manufacturer. A 6,000-item master across 10 product groups — hull and deck hardware, marine electrical, piping, HVAC, propulsion. Before InRecipe.AI: items reached production planning with blanks where there should be HS code, weight, dimensions, origin.

  • ·6,000-item master · 10 product groups
  • ·1,955 items enriched in production runs — same gate on every record
  • ·Every hand-checked datasheet extraction right
  • ·Caught the master wrong on 3 of 4 disputed values

AI does the manufacturer-source research your buyer would otherwise do — finds the datasheet, reads it, and tells you when your own number is the one that's wrong.

Industrial services

Industrial Air pack · Live in production

An industrial services company maintaining compressed-air devices for B2B customers. Maintenance contracts priced via an internal ML model. Before InRecipe.AI: a device register with mostly missing or inconsistent structured data.

  • ·~2,500 records · 17 fields per device
  • ·Under 3 hours wall-clock

Mining OEM

Mining Spare Parts pack · Methodology demo

A mining heavy-equipment OEM with an enormous parts catalog. Their pain isn't device data — it's parts data, with fields that aren't on any manufacturer spec sheet: classification, change interval, stocking strategy, critical-spare flag.

  • ·Parts pack ≠ device pack — customer taxonomy as ground truth
  • ·One enrichment, four downstream systems served
  • ·Continuous re-enrichment in scope

Enrich the parts master once, and four business processes light up — sales recommendations, the webshop, service planning, and proprietary-parts onboarding.

Valve & steam distributor

Industrial Valves pack · Newest engagement

A technical distributor of industrial valves and steam equipment. New items arrive as a principal's price lists and datasheets — thousands of rows that must become ERP-ready items: item number, name, weight, customs code, price. Composed by hand, one item at a time — until now.

  • ·2,736 supplier rows composed into ERP-ready items
  • ·Item numbers generated — 100% coverage
  • ·Price changes caught and auto-highlighted
  • ·Validated against the customer's own parallel LLM run
  • ·One principal first — the same pattern replicates to ~10

Not cleanup — creation: items born correct, with the evidence attached, before they ever enter the ERP.

Case 1 / 4 · Marine manufacturer
The trust gate · generation and verification, separated

Every claim must be traceable.

Skills propose a value; the validator checks every claim against its citation before it reaches your database — different layers, by design, so the AI never grades its own work. Every value comes back one of three honest outcomes.

A verified value

Taken from a manufacturer source with a citation that points back to it. The highest-trust result.

An honest gap

Searched, and nothing trustworthy turned up. A real blank, distinct from "didn't look."

!
A flagged estimate

A bounded estimate when no source exists — capped low, never disguised as fact, and routed to a named review queue in the curator workbench, where a person sees the evidence, the alternatives the AI considered, and the disagreement with your own master before anything ships.

And "verified" carries a rank. Sources are graded, the strongest source wins — and when they disagree, the loser stays visible on the record instead of being averaged away. How the ranking works is a pilot conversation.

The system would rather refuse than write something that might be wrong — and that separation is the part competitors don't have, and the part a better AI can't replace.

How a pilot works

A pilot is low-risk by design. You bring one business case and a sample of your data; we cover the AI cost and do the build. From there it runs on parallel tracks: InRecipe enriches and keeps the data clean, our advisory team fixes the processes that let it go bad so it stays that way, and on that trusted foundation we build the AI you actually want.

§ 06 / 08InRecipe.AI

Built for the security questionnaire

Where your data goes, which AI models and tools touch it, and how the architecture maps to where EU AI regulation is heading. The short version: your data stays in your environment, the AI never trains on it, and every value is traceable.

Where the data lives
Local processing, isolated tenants

Processing runs in Data Design-controlled environments. Your records, outputs, and review history stay in your own engagement tenant.

Shared: only curator-verified public facts
The AI + tool layer
Frontier models, plus search tools

LLM calls go to frontier models over commercial enterprise APIs — inputs and outputs not used for training, SOC 2 Type II providers, and model-agnostic by design (verified on two providers). The opt-in web tier sees only a public manufacturer-and-model query; your records never leave your tenant. Records process in parallel; per-record verification is unchanged by concurrency.

Third-party search sees only a public query · not your data
Regulatory posture
Shaped for the EU AI Act

Human oversight isn't a policy — it's a workbench: flagged values land in a curator's review queue with the evidence and the validator's reasoning attached. Transparency and audit trails are core to the product, not bolted on afterward. Minimal personal data keeps GDPR exposure narrow.

Every value: traceable, dated, attributable
As the EU AI Act makes human oversight, transparency, and audit trails non-optional, the trust gate stops being a nice-to-have and becomes a requirement. Regulation is our tailwind: the importer carries the liability, and our evidence is the defense.

Send us the security questionnaire - the audit trail was built for exactly that conversation.

§ 07 / 08InRecipe.AI

Why this compounds

When AI advances, InRecipe gets stronger, not obsolete — because the value isn't the extraction, it's everything around it. And it compounds: every engagement makes the shared pack denser, and every customer in the vertical inherits it.

NEW ENGAGEMENTa maker the pack hasn't seenmfr: ???CURATOR REVIEW✓ verified againstmanufacturer sources+ your verified factsTHE SHARED PACK · DENSER EVERY ENGAGEMENTEVERYONE INHERITS —INCLUDING YOUthe next engagement starts denser

The trust gate

Generation and verification are separate by design: skills produce a value, a validator certifies it against its source. An AI vendor won't be the independent auditor of its own output.

The curated catalog

137 verified manufacturers and distributors, model-number grammars, ~30 documented failure modes — and behind the marine pack alone, a curated library of ~700 verified manufacturer datasheets, indexed and reusable on every future engagement. Knowledge that doesn't ship with any AI model.

The audit trail

Every value traceable, dated, attributable. Institutional memory that compounds with every customer in your vertical.

Your operational data, in your tenant

The one layer no vendor and no AI provider can hold.

Caught in pilot · marine

The trap only a verifier catches. A web search for an Onmar cable lock returned a real, correctly-downloaded manufacturer datasheet — for OMAL S.p.A. industrial valve actuators. A different company, matched on the shared word "actuator," full of plausible weights. The finder was satisfied; a sharper search engine would only have made the wrong document more convincing. The brand-and-model check refused it, and the field came back an honest blank. That refusal — not the retrieval — is the part a better AI can't replace.

And the ownership rule is simple: if a manufacturer or regulator already publishes it, it can become shared, curator-verified knowledge for your vertical. If it's about your operations, it never leaves your tenant — and your own names and conventions always override the shared pack.

The surface wins the demo. The chain wins the renewal.

Before you ask

Questions we hear most

How is this different from pasting our data into ChatGPT?

A general-purpose LLM answers on its own word — and grades its own work. In our trials, that failure shows up most where it hurts industrial data most: numeric values. Weights, power ratings, dimensions come back plausible, confidently stated, and wrong — and a plausible wrong number looks identical to a right one. That's why InRecipe separates generation from verification: every value a skill proposes is checked against a cited source by an independent validator before it reaches your database. Every field comes back a verified value, an honest gap, or a flagged estimate routed to a human. The system would rather refuse than write something that might be wrong.

How do we know a value is actually right?

Every populated field carries its evidence: which source it came from and when it was observed. Values that can't be verified don't ship as facts. In the marine pilot's ground-truth checks, every datasheet extraction we hand-verified came back right — and where the enrichment disagreed with the customer's own master, it was the master that turned out wrong on 3 of 4 disputed values, with the manufacturer's evidence attached.

What happens when no trustworthy source exists?

You get an honest gap — a real blank, distinct from "didn't look." Where a bounded estimate is possible, it's capped low, flagged as an estimate, and routed to a human review queue. Never a silent guess.

Where does our data go? Is it used to train AI models?

Your records, outputs, and review history stay in your own isolated engagement tenant. LLM skills run via a commercial API where inputs and outputs are not used for training. And when the opt-in web tier searches for a datasheet, the search provider sees only a public manufacturer-and-model query — never your records.

What stays ours — and what gets shared with other customers?

The rule follows ownership, not policy. If a manufacturer or regulator already publishes it — a model number's specifications, a customs classification — it can become shared, curator-verified knowledge for your vertical, and you inherit what earlier customers' engagements already built, from day one. Everything that's about your operations — your records, enriched outputs, service history, your in-house names and conventions — stays in your tenant and is never shared. And nothing moves to the shared layer automatically: every promotion is curator-reviewed and verified against the manufacturer's own sources first.

Our data is a mess — mixed languages, decades of naming conventions. Will this work on it?

The mess is the starting point, not an obstacle. Production runs have handled mixed Finnish-English registers where the same machine appears as "ATLAS 90kW VSD #2" in one row and "kompressori 90 kW" in another. If your data were clean, you wouldn't need this.

Couldn't we just hire someone to do this by hand?

You can — a data steward clears 2,000–5,000 records a year, different stewards disagree, and the work restarts as new records arrive. And hand-edits leave no trail: when someone types a value into the ERP, there's no record of where it came from, why it was chosen, or what it replaced — six months later, nobody can say. In production runs, InRecipe enriched close to 2,000 items in hours, every change traceable, dated, and attributable, with documented evidence on every field — and it doesn't forget what it learned. And speed is a dial, not a limit: enrichment fans out across parallel agents — up to 200 of them when a deadline demands — while every record still passes the identical validator.

Could this work outside industrial data — retail catalogs, e-commerce?

The machinery could. An enrichment layer with evidence and an independent validator isn't industrial-specific, and product catalogs everywhere suffer the same blanks, duplicates, and unverifiable values. But the value doesn't come from the machinery alone — it comes from vertical depth: curated manufacturer catalogs, model-number grammars, domain vocabularies, documented failure modes. That's why we're deliberately focused on industrial data for now — equipment, parts, item masters, supplier catalogs — where that depth already compounds. If your data is industrial-adjacent, ask. If it's a retail catalog, we'll tell you honestly: not yet.

What do we need to prepare for a pilot?

One business case that matters, a 50–100 record sample (a CSV export is fine), a couple of manufacturers or suppliers, and an hour or two with someone who knows the data. No integration, no software installation. We bear the costs of the first week.

Does it integrate with our ERP or CMMS?

Pilots run on exports: CSV in, structured evidence-graded output back, in a format your systems import. Deeper embedding — new records enriched automatically as they're created — comes at the Autopilot stage. And for agentic workflows, an MCP server is on the roadmap: InRecipe as a verified-data tool your AI assistants and copilots can call directly, with the evidence traveling along.

What does it cost after the free week?

Not a per-seat license. Pricing follows what you choose to enrich: how many records, which fields and how demanding they are, and the level of verified quality you need. The free pilot week calibrates all three on your own data — so the quote is grounded in your register, not a rate card, and you know what fixing it is worth before you commit to anything.

A question we didn't answer? Ask us directly — it probably belongs on this list.
