SIMAM AI LAB
Applied Intelligence for Industry, Infrastructure & Public Systems
AI Agents · Spatial Intelligence · Local AI · Vision · Digital Twins · XR
Simam AI Lab is the applied AI research division of Simam Digital Ltd, a UK digital product and engineering studio based in Wakefield.
We research, prototype and publish practical AI systems that bridge the gap between emerging models and real-world deployment.
Our work focuses particularly on AI that can understand data, reason about physical environments, use tools and assist people inside complex operational workflows.
🧪 What We're Exploring
Agentic Infrastructure
Reusable AI agents and orchestration systems for engineering, construction, infrastructure, public services and enterprise workflows.
Spatial Intelligence
AI systems capable of reasoning across Gaussian Splats, GIS, BIM, maps, Digital Twins, imagery and real-world environments.
Autonomous Workflows
Multi-stage systems combining models, tools, agents, APIs and human approval to produce useful operational outputs.
Local Intelligence
Private and on-premise AI using open models for organisations that need greater control over their data, infrastructure and inference.
Human + AI Interfaces
Exploring how voice, vision, XR, spatial computing and intelligent interfaces change the way people interact with AI.
🤗 AI Model Playground
We use Hugging Face to make emerging AI research easier to explore.
Our Spaces include simple interfaces for experimenting with:
- Large Language Models
- Vision Language Models
- OCR & document intelligence
- Image understanding
- Object detection & segmentation
- Embedding models
- Local and open-source LLMs
- AI agents
- Retrieval and RAG
- Generative image & video models
- Spatial AI experiments
The goal is simple:
Make powerful AI research accessible without requiring users to understand Python, CUDA, inference servers or model deployment.
🧠 Simam Intelligence Framework
Our applied research follows a simple operating loop:
OBSERVE → UNDERSTAND → REASON → ACT → LEARN → IMPROVE
We combine four practical layers:
01 — Spatial & Data Signals 3DGS · BIM · GIS · imagery · documents · sensors · APIs
02 — Intelligence Vision models · LLMs · multimodal models · agents
03 — Workflows Tools · orchestration · human approval · evaluation
04 — Deployment Cloud · edge · local · on-premise
Models are selected around the problem — not the other way around.
🔬 Current Research
Some of our active research areas include:
AI Construction Assistant Spatial agents navigating Gaussian Splat construction environments for inspection, safety and progress analysis.
Local AI for SMEs Privacy-preserving local language and vision models for organisations working with sensitive information.
XR AI Training Vision, voice and spatial agents operating inside immersive industrial training environments.
Infrastructure Intelligence Combining mapping, Digital Twins, operational data and AI agents to create queryable infrastructure systems.
Agentic Workflows Research into visual, secure and human-supervised agent orchestration for non-technical users.
🧩 Simam Agent Studio
We are developing a visual Applied Intelligence platform for creating AI agents and multi-stage workflows without requiring traditional AI development.
Think:
INPUT → MODEL → REASON → TOOL → APPROVAL → ACTION
Our research explores:
- Visual agent orchestration
- Model-independent workflows
- Bring-your-own-model / bring-your-own-key
- MCP and external tools
- Human approval gates
- Agent evaluation
- Local model execution
- Multi-agent systems
- Industry-specific Agent Blueprints
📊 Models & Benchmarks
Not every AI model is right for every problem.
We experiment with open models and publish practical observations around:
- reasoning quality
- vision performance
- document understanding
- latency
- hardware requirements
- inference cost
- privacy
- local deployment
- agent/tool performance
- industry suitability
Where useful, experiments will be released as Spaces, datasets, benchmarks or Research Notes.
🛰 Applied Spatial Intelligence
A major focus of the Lab is exploring what happens when AI begins to understand the physical world, not only text.
We research combinations of:
AI + GIS + 3DGS + BIM + Digital Twins + Computer Vision + XR
Our long-term goal is to create intelligent systems capable of understanding complex physical environments and helping people inspect, navigate, simulate, query and operate them using natural interfaces.
🤝 Research & Collaboration
We are interested in collaborating with:
- AI researchers
- Open-source developers
- Universities
- SMEs
- Infrastructure organisations
- Engineering teams
- Public-sector organisations
- AI model developers
- Research funders
- Technology partners
We are particularly interested in applied research where an emerging AI capability can be tested against a real operational problem.
