What needs to work?
Hardware & production
Electronics, embedded systems and prototypes. Plan assembly, programming, calibration and testing; engineer the fixtures and equipment production needs.
Software & automation
Applications, integrations, operational tools and data systems. Connect software to the people, equipment and processes it serves.
Computer vision
Camera and lighting selection through image processing, model evaluation and integration. Establish what the system can reliably detect or measure.
AI system audits

Working with AcesForge
Can AcesForge help with both hardware and software?
Yes. AcesForge provides electronics, embedded systems, production engineering, test equipment, computer vision, application development and AI integration. The scope and evidence required are agreed for each project.
Can you review an AI system built by another provider?
Yes. A scoped technical review can examine agreed workflows, evaluation coverage, integrations, failure handling, performance and operating costs. Findings state the evidence, limitations and recommended fixes. It is not a certification or a guarantee of every possible behaviour.
Do you help prepare a prototype for production?
Yes. Work can cover design for assembly and test, build documentation, programming, calibration, traceability and bespoke test stations. Manufacturing and certification responsibilities are agreed separately.
What is the difference between AcesForge, AcesOps and AliceHQ?
AcesForge provides engineering services. AcesOps is a business operating system in development, including a software factory. AliceHQ is a voice platform operated by AliceHQ.AI Limited, a separate company founded by Toby Bell-Ramsay.
How do we start a project?
Send the problem, current stage and intended outcome. We establish fit, access requirements and a scoped next step before agreeing delivery and fees. You do not need a completed technical specification to begin the conversation.
Have a project in mind?
Five questions and we will send you a rough estimate. No commitment required.
