IntelliAM AI plc, listed on the Aquis Exchange, has announced a major expansion of its commercial partnership with Hovis.

The software company, which is transforming productivity in the manufacturing industry through artificial intelligence and machine learning, secured the original contract last year to deliver reliability consultancy services across three key sites.

Hovis has now awarded IntelliAM a substantially expanded contract which represents a ninefold increase on the original agreement. The expanded engagement will see full deployment of the IntelliAM AI platform across multiple manufacturing sites; integration of its smart sensor interfaces across production lines; and ongoing consultancy services to drive measurable gains in reliability, productivity and asset availability.
