AVIATION SUPPLY CHAIN
On-premise, high-availability AI platform design for an aviation network
A regulated aviation network needed AI agents that run entirely inside its own data center. Wexa delivered the full technical architecture and on-prem deployment design, from microservices to GPU nodes.
- on-premise: data, models and audit inside the boundary
- H100 GPU nodes in the production HA design
- control-plane and worker nodes, load-balanced
- architecture documentation (arc42 style)
- CLIENT
- B2B procurement network connecting airlines and suppliers
- REGION
- US / global
- WHEN
- 2025
- ENGAGEMENT
- Solution design
- WEXA COMPONENTS
- Full Wexa platform · on-prem Kubernetes · GPU inference · 200+ connectors

The challenge
- Airline and supplier data cannot leave the network
- Agents must integrate with CRM, email, messaging and document stores
- Production needs high availability, observability and a test strategy
What Wexa built
- Microservices: web, identity, data, workflow and schedule workers, event service, knowledge base, LLM gateway
- Durable agent execution on Temporal; MongoDB, Qdrant vector store, Redis, object storage and vault-managed secrets
- Kubernetes with Helm, NGINX ingress, autoscaling; Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager and Loki
- Local GPU inference alongside hosted models through one gateway
- Production HA: HAProxy and Keepalived virtual IP, three control-plane nodes, five workers, shared SAN/NAS

Results
| Measure | Before / without Wexa | With Wexa |
|---|---|---|
Procurement-support staff across the network | 40 staff | 24 staff |
Annual cost of the process | $2.8M | $1.7M |
Time to implement the AI solution | 9 months | 12 weeks |
AI build cost (one-time) | $1.2M | $133K |
AI operating cost per year (models, infrastructure, upkeep, platform) | $704K | $336K |
Total AI cost in year 1 | $1.9M | $469K |
With Wexa
net annual value to the client after Wexa's own operating cost
faster to implement
lower AI operating cost
less AI spend in year 1
