Overview
In today’s industrial manufacturing, achieving fully automated production while ensuring quality control is a major challenge. Through the CitCom.ai TEF network, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden supports companies in evaluating and improving AI-based systems to comply with the EU AI Act and other relevant regulations.
Swedish tech company Gimic, specialising in AI-driven automated quality inspection, became the first organisation to leverage RISE’s Risk Assessment Analysis Service. This service provides a structured evaluation of AI systems, helping businesses identify compliance gaps and mitigate potential risks before scaling their solutions.
Impact
The RISE assessment enabled Gimic to:
Understand their current risk profile under the EU AI Act.
Identify steps needed to comply with more regulated sectors.
Demonstrate structured risk management to partners and customers.
Build a foundation for entering highly regulated markets with confidence.
For Gimic, the structured evaluation provided a clear roadmap:
“We now have a map to navigate by. We can demonstrate to customers that we work systematically with risk management and know what will be required if we expand into more regulated markets,” says Anders Cederlund, Project Manager at Gimic.
CEO Henrik Arvsell adds:
“AI regulations will soon become mandatory. By engaging early, we are prepared and can strengthen trust with our clients while driving fully automated, quality-assured industrial production.”
By integrating regulatory guidance early in their development, Gimic not only ensures compliance but also builds credibility and readiness for future market expansion.
The guidance strengthened Gimic’s ability to assure clients of safe, traceable, and fully automated production processes—reinforcing trust in their AI solutions.

The Challenge
Gimic develops AI systems that replace manual inspection in industrial production lines. While cameras and AI models can detect defects in components such as gears, the final inspection stage in many factories remains manual. For Gimic, achieving a completely automated, end-to-end production flow required not only technological innovation but also compliance with evolving AI regulations.
As a small company, interpreting legal and technical requirements on their own was complex and time-consuming. Without clear guidance, entering sectors such as critical infrastructure or safety-related industries could carry unforeseen risks.
The Solution
Through CitCom.ai, RISE provided a structured Risk Assessment Analysis Service, including:
Company Submission: Gimic detailed the technical and functional aspects of their AI system via a structured form.
Collaborative Workshop: RISE experts met with Gimic to clarify use cases, operations, and regulatory implications.
Risk Assessment Report: RISE produced a detailed report analysing risk classification, identifying current compliance gaps, and offering recommendations for future development.
The assessment determined that Gimic’s AI system is currently low risk. However, the analysis highlighted how risk levels could increase in sensitive sectors or when integrated into safety-critical operations.
