CrossTech Cuts High-Risk Rail Faults 96% with Computer Vision Predictive Maintenance on Google Cloud

UK startup CrossTech built Hubble, an AI computer vision platform that analyzes video captured from trains to detect hazards such as overgrown vegetation, signal obstructions and track ballast issues, running on Google Cloud's Compute Engine, Cloud Run and Vertex AI. Using Vertex AI, CrossTech halved the time to build a first model version to six weeks and cut deployment cycles by 70%. The predictive maintenance has delivered roughly £20 million in annual net maintenance efficiency for customers, reduced unplanned service interruptions by 30%, cut high-risk faults on key lines by 96%, and enabled frontline teams to remediate 6,000 faults.

Deutsche Bank builds DB Lumina, a RAG research agent that saves analysts up to two hours per report

Deutsche Bank Research built DB Lumina, an AI research agent on Google Cloud (GKE, Vertex AI Gemini models, Cloud SQL pgvector, Discovery Engine RAG) that lets analysts chat with documents, use standardized prompt templates, and ground answers in enterprise knowledge with inline citations. Since going live in September 2024, DB Lumina has reached about 5,000 users across Deutsche Bank Research, saving analysts 30-45 minutes preparing earnings note templates and up to two hours writing research reports and roadshow updates, with one analyst increasing report analysis depth by 50%.

From data migration to AI innovation: AXA Switzerland's digital transformation journey with Google Cloud

AXA Switzerland, the country's leading insurer serving over 40% of Swiss companies, migrated its data lake to Google Cloud in 2021 and built a cloud-native analytics foundation using BigQuery, Vertex AI, Cloud Run and Dialogflow. Query and processing times were reduced by over 95%, from days to minutes or seconds. The insurer uses generative AI as an assistant to human employees rather than for direct customer interaction, including natural language processing to translate and summarize complex documents such as court rulings and medical records -- cutting a task that took specialists 25 minutes down to seconds. Over 100 Google Cloud projects are now live in production across all business lines.

Berenberg's Gemini Enterprise transformation

Berenberg, Germany's oldest private bank (founded 1590, €39 billion AUM, 1,600 employees), is the first bank in Europe rolling out Gemini Enterprise bankwide with Google Cloud. Berenberg's AI journey began in 2018 with traditional ML for portfolio management, then in 2022 the bank built BegoChat, a custom AI assistant on Vertex AI, to aggregate and analyze broker reports, company filings, and news for equity portfolio managers, infused with Berenberg's proprietary investment frameworks. A similarly built tool generates the bank's daily 'Morning Mail' market briefing, with AI assistance producing content 85-90% faster with human review for quality and compliance. Berenberg later adopted NotebookLM for an 'Everyday AI' layer of document summarization, translation, and comparison, and is now rolling out Gemini Enterprise (formerly AgentSpace) across the bank starting in 2026, giving employees a marketplace of centrally managed generic and role-specific agents (Research, financial analysis, Due Diligence support).

Fifth Dimension unlocks insights and intelligence with Google Cloud

Fifth Dimension, founded in 2023, provides an AI platform combining machine learning, predictive analytics and natural language processing to uncover hidden patterns in real estate data, processing over 1TB of data per month by 2025. Facing scalability and cost problems with its original infrastructure, the company adopted Google Cloud, building its ML stack on Vertex AI (running Google Cloud Gemini and Anthropic Claude models), plus Cloud SQL, Cloud Run and Pub/Sub. This scaled processing capacity 50x to handle document-processing surges, supported 6x global client growth across multiple regions, and decreased infrastructure costs by 30% through serverless architecture. Model deployment time dropped from weeks to days, platform engagement tripled in 2025, and annual recurring revenue grew 6x in the same year.
