Solution blueprints

The architectures behind our best work

Here is how we approach building. Each blueprint sets out the problem, the engineering decisions that matter and the targets we design towards.

Framing

Real architectures, anonymised context

Depth

Decisions, not marketing claims

Format

Illustrative reference architectures

Reuse

Each one shortens the next build

Enterprise Knowledge Copilot

Decades of policy documents, tickets, drawings and wiki pages that no one can search, so experienced staff become the only working index of the organisation.

How we build it

  • Ingest and normalise every source into a governed knowledge store with document-level access control
  • Hybrid retrieval with re-ranking and mandatory citations back to the source page
  • Evaluation harness with a golden question set gating every prompt and model change in CI
  • Feedback capture from users routed into a weekly retrieval-tuning loop

Predictive Maintenance for Connected Plant

Unplanned line stoppages discovered only when production halts, with machine data locked inside PLC and SCADA systems on a segregated OT network.

How we build it

  • Edge gateways reading OPC UA and Modbus, filtering and buffering locally before egress
  • On-device anomaly models on vibration, thermal and current signatures to cut telemetry volume
  • Time-series lakehouse feeding failure-mode models with maintenance-record labels
  • Work orders raised automatically into the CMMS with a technician mobile app for closure

Regulated Cloud Landing Zone

Product teams blocked for weeks on environment provisioning, with security review happening late and cloud spend rising without attribution.

How we build it

  • Multi-account landing zone with policy guardrails and network segmentation as code
  • Golden-path pipeline templates with SAST, dependency and container scanning as gates
  • Self-service environment provisioning with automatic tagging and cost attribution
  • SLO dashboards and error budgets agreed jointly with each product team

Blueprints are illustrative reference architectures describing how GIKOS designs these systems. They are not client case studies.
