A serious engineering firm, built from applied research and German industrial projects
AcousticAI Lab is an industrial AI engineering and research firm. We build sensing-based AI systems for factories and critical assets, together with our industrial partner NeuroControls GmbH, and we build them with the client's engineers rather than selling a generic product.
Engineering rigour from Germany, availability in India's time zone
We build multi-modal sensor units (vision, audio from audible to ultrasonic, vibration, lidar, environmental and gas sensors), energy-efficient edge AI that runs on the machine, and sovereign AI setups where data never leaves the plant, including federated learning across sites.
Our methods are peer-reviewed and our experience comes from projects with German SMEs, automotive companies, battery manufacturers, technical universities and leading research institutes. In 2026 we opened the practice to Indian industry, with remote delivery, on-site visits to client plants and working hours that overlap with the Indian day.
- Co-development, not generic solutions: we work inside your process with your engineers
- One accountable team for sensing hardware and AI, with NeuroControls GmbH
- Sovereign by default: on-premise, on-device, no cloud dependency
- Honest evaluation with a go / no-go gate before large spend
From applied research to the factory floor
The firm grew out of applied research in industrial sound and vibration analysis and from joint projects with German industry: automotive OEMs and suppliers, battery cell and module manufacturers, machine-building SMEs, technical universities and research institutes.
Those projects taught us one thing: general-purpose solutions rarely meet a company's real goal. Systems have to be developed with the company, on its process, under its constraints. In 2026 we joined forces with NeuroControls GmbH in Munich to co-develop multi-modal sensor units and edge AI hardware, and we are now opening the practice to Indian industry.
- 2019Independent research and consulting begins, alongside applied research in industrial acoustics
- 2021–2023Peer-reviewed work on partial discharge detection, acoustic traffic benchmarks and laser-weld monitoring
- 2026Partnership with NeuroControls GmbH; practice opened to Indian manufacturing
What we stand for
Mission
Engineer sensing-based AI that holds up under real plant conditions (noise, sensor mismatch, drift, edge cases) and that the client owns and runs on its own infrastructure.
Vision
The reference co-development partner for multi-modal industrial AI in India and Europe.
Four disciplines, one team
AcousticAI Lab covers AI, signal processing, dataset engineering and edge deployment; NeuroControls GmbH covers sensor hardware, electronics and industrial integration.
Sensing & Hardware
Sensor selection, placement and synchronisation; ruggedised multi-modal units and data acquisition with NeuroControls GmbH; industrial integration.
AI & Signal Processing
Time-frequency representations, sensor fusion, learned front-ends, honest evaluation with strong baselines; dataset engineering.
Edge & Sovereign Deployment
Model compression, embedded inference, on-premise training, federated learning, fleet MLOps and security documentation.
Research & Funded Projects
Peer-reviewed methods, open benchmarks, publicly funded R&D and university collaborations.
Saichand Gourishetti
Founder and Lead Engineer
Industrial acoustic, vibration and multi-modal sensor AI; edge machine learning.
Saichand leads AcousticAI Lab's engineering and research. He was formerly a Senior Scientific Researcher at Fraunhofer IDMT, working on industrial sound and vibration analysis, and is a PhD candidate at TU Ilmenau. His work spans acoustic monitoring of welding processes, partial discharge detection, open acoustic benchmark datasets and energy-efficient edge models. Consulting is performed independently of those affiliations.
Industrial sensing and hardware partner: NeuroControls GmbH
NeuroControls GmbH, Munich, co-develops and deploys the multi-modal sensor units and edge hardware with us. Together we deliver sensing hardware and AI as one accountable team, from pilot line to roll-out.
Project experience, shown as categories until written permission for names exists: German machine-building SMEs, automotive OEMs and suppliers, battery cell and module manufacturers, technical universities and leading research institutes. Professional liability insurance is maintained.
