attimis and rivet industries — accelerate ai initiatives

rivet industries background

Rivet.us (officially Rivet Industries, Inc.) is a U.S.-based industrial technology company dedicated to designing and delivering advanced mobile systems for frontline professionals — particularly in defense, security, and industrial sectors.

Rivet specializes in crafting "Integrated Task Systems" that are both rugged and intelligent, combining cutting-edge hardware, software, sensors, communications technologies, and AI — all built to withstand real-world, high-pressure environments. Their proprietary "Rivet Hard Spec™" standard ensures these solutions are resilient and reliable in the most demanding conditions.

the challenge: the ai data bottleneck

Rivet's competitive edge lies in integrating cutting-edge AI into its ruggedized field systems. But their AI development process was hampered by a critical bottleneck: data access. With a distributed engineering team, data stored across multiple clouds (including AWS S3), and compute happening in a dedicated NEO Cloud, getting the right data to the right place at the right time was slow, unreliable, and expensive.

• Slowed innovation: engineers wasted significant time waiting for large datasets to load for model training, slowing the entire iteration cycle.
• Wasted GPU resources: expensive GPU clusters sat idle ~30% of the time, waiting for data to be delivered.
• Increased costs: excessive cloud egress fees that continued to escalate with data growth and utilization.
• Compliance & security risks: managing data across multiple locations created complexity in meeting the demands of government and industrial contracts.

the solution: strategic ai data orchestration

Rivet deployed the Attimis smart data layer to create an intelligent data fabric that automates and optimizes the flow of data between their storage providers, developers, and GPU resources.

outcomes

• Accelerated time to market by eliminating data management delays.
• Engineering productivity increased — builds load from local cache and store instantly while staying synchronized with remote repositories.
• GPU efficiency increased by 30% by prepositioning data to the GPU provider, never waiting for remote data to load.
• Cloud storage optimized — AWS egress costs reduced to ~zero through distributed sources and local caching.
• Compliance and regulatory requirements for data resilience and security met via the Attimis smart data layer for archive and encryption.

from tactical tool to strategic ai platform

For Rivet Industries, Attimis is the foundational layer for modern, secure, and efficient AI development. By strategically orchestrating AI data, Attimis moved beyond isolated fixes and provided a holistic solution that directly impacts the company's agility, profitability, and market position — turning their AI initiatives into a powerful and cost-effective engine for growth.

customer perspective

"Attimis has fundamentally changed how our teams access, manage, and protect data. What used to slow us down is now seamless. Our engineers are more productive, our GPU investments are fully utilized, and our customers know their data is secure. Attimis is helping us accelerate AI innovation while staying compliant and cost-efficient."
