EU AI Act · Industry
EU AI Act for industry and operational environments
In manufacturing, quality, and maintenance, AI often affects safety and uptime. OT/IT boundaries, supply chains, and machine integration make documentation complex – yet the EU AI Act still demands clear risk classes and demonstrable control.
Typical scenarios
- Predictive maintenance and visual inspection
- Production line assistance with AI
- Energy and resource optimization with real-time data
What matters in industry
- Safety and human-machine interfaces – often Annex III relevant
- Supplier AI: traceability across the chain
- Long lifecycles: documentation must match product generations
FAQ
How do I capture AI across the supply chain?
Model purchased or hosted systems in the inventory and assign ownership – SimpleAct supports structured capture.
Is every AI project “high risk”?
Not automatically. Classify under EU categories and Annex III – see linked fundamentals.
From shop floor to audit report
Capture all systems – built in-house and sourced externally – and align risk with documentation.
