Strategic priorities

Alvi Prague, the company behind the DL-7000 diode laser and the Quasar picosecond system, ships more than 10,000 aesthetic medical devices a year across 70+ models from its Prague base. Final assembly and quality control sit under one roof in Smíchov under ISO 13485 and CE certification, and the company distributes through regional sites in Germany, Spain, Poland, Italy and the United Arab Emirates, with North America and Southern Europe named as the next expansion wave.

The flagship DL-7000 UltraPuls Smart runs an 808 nm diode stack rated at 30 million pulses with hybrid water-air-Peltier cooling, and the Quasar TL-700 houses an Nd:YAG active medium that needs precise optical alignment. Both devices display temperatures and shot counts on local LCD screens; the deep research found no evidence of remote monitoring of coolant flow, diode current or flashlamp voltage across the portfolio.

The AlviBeauty Business CRM, warehouse module and Client booking app handle the commercial side of the clinic, but they are not connected to the devices themselves, so a salon owner using a Quasar for a Hollywood Peel manually re-enters the session into the iPad afterwards. European Medical Device Regulation post-market surveillance adds a parallel paper burden, requiring real-world evidence collected continuously from devices in the field rather than on a complaint-driven basis.

The 18-month warranty is a real cost line: without usage data, the company cannot distinguish a manufacturing defect from client-side abuse such as running the system on tap water instead of distilled water, and warranty costs are absorbed against a line that should be billed back.

Challenges we see

  • Operations Service Delivery

    Diagnosing device issues without physical access to the device

    With more than 10,000 devices sold annually across global markets, the Prague support desk cannot read what is happening inside a DL-7000 in Canada or Dubai and relies on the client's verbal description and photos of the LCD.

    Where field service is verbal and image-based, the desk has to translate a customer's words into a likely cause, and the first round of spare parts often goes out before the picture is complete.

  • Digital Integration

    Linking device usage data into the AlviBeauty business app

    The AlviBeauty Business CRM and Client booking app operate as a separate software estate from the smart devices, requiring salon owners to manually log the treatments performed on the laser.

    Where the machine records its own work and the app that bills for it run on separate ledgers, the moment a human has to type the session in is the moment the two ledgers can drift.

  • Compliance Regulatory

    Producing continuous post-market surveillance evidence under MDR

    European Medical Device Regulation requires proactive collection of safety and performance data from devices in the field, replacing the older complaint-driven process.

    Where device performance data is sampled by survey or phone, the regulator's evidence base is a fraction of the installed base, and a single serious incident has to stand for many.

  • Operations Manufacturing

    Verifying European origin and component identity at the device level

    The aesthetic device market is commoditised by similar 808 nm/1200 W specification sheets from Asian competitors, and the company's presence on global sourcing platforms as both manufacturer and trading company makes the European assembly claim harder to evidence from the outside.

    Where the European assembly claim is told rather than shown, a counterfeiter with the same chassis and the same specification sheet reads as equivalent until something goes wrong.

  • Warehouse Operations

    Moving the right spare part to the right site without crossing borders blind

    The distributed physical footprint across the Czech Republic, Germany, the United Arab Emirates and Poland means spare parts inventory crosses borders to reach service technicians.

    Where the desk that knows the failure mode is in Prague and the part that resolves it is somewhere else, the round trip from fault to fix includes travel time that the customer experiences as downtime.

Opportunities, by urgency and business impact

Each bubble is one opportunity, numbered to match the list below. Further right means it bites sooner; higher means a bigger effect on the business. A bigger bubble means a bigger implementation effort.

  1. Reading coolant and diode health from the device during use

    The DL-7000 diode stack is rated for 30 million pulses and its longevity depends on coolant flow and temperature staying in range, but thermal and flow data is trapped on the device LCD with no remote read.

    An IoT module on the laser driver and cooling loop streams coolant flow, temperature and diode current into a fleet view, so a drop in flow rate against the running session triggers a service action before the diode bar burns out.

  2. Closing the gap between device usage and AlviBeauty inventory

    When a salon performs treatments on a Quasar or DL-7000, the device records the session internally, but the AlviBeauty Business CRM has no record until the salon owner types it in afterwards.

    An API connection from the device to the AlviBeauty backend lets the laser push the session protocol, shot count and consumables usage on completion, so the CRM's inventory, billing and reorder logic run on the device's own evidence.

  3. Distinguishing warranty defects from misuse through usage history

    The 18-month warranty covers manufacturing defects but not user-side issues such as running the system on tap water instead of distilled water, and the desk adjudicates this without usage history.

    Device telemetry that records session count, water-quality indicators and the maintenance log gives the desk a defensible basis to absorb, repair or bill each claim, so warranty spend stops being a category of cost the company cannot price.

  4. Building a digital passport for European-assembled devices

    Critical components — the diode stack, the German water pump, the US laser bar — arrive from third-party suppliers, and verification at goods-in is physical and sample-based rather than recorded per serial number.

    Component-level provenance captured at assembly, with each device carrying a verifiable record of where its critical parts came from, gives the European Manufacturer claim a verifiable basis and turns it into a counterfeiting defence.

  5. Generating CE technical files from automated test bench data

    With 70+ device models in the portfolio, each CE technical file is currently assembled by hand from bench test results, environmental chamber runs and design history, which consumes engineering time that could go into the next device.

    Connecting the test benches to a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) and a thermal digital twin of the handpiece lets a technical file draw on validated test data and simulation results directly, cutting the engineering hours per file.

What we'd propose

  • Digital CDMO

    Connected device retrofit for the flagship laser lines

    We add an IoT module to the laser driver and cooling loop on the DL-7000 and Quasar lines, stream coolant flow, temperature, diode current and shot counts into a Prague-side fleet view, and trigger service actions on drift while the session is still running.

    • Telemetry module integration

      Reading the device's own signals

      Interface with the microcontroller controlling the laser driver and cooling system to transmit shot counter, energy levels, coolant flow rate, temperature and error codes in a documented vendor-neutral form, so service and engineering see the same values the device sees.

    • Predictive maintenance from current and flow signatures

      Service actions before the part fails

      Build a normal operating envelope for each critical parameter from historical runs and flag drift against the running session, so a coolant flow drop or a diode current rise becomes a pre-emptive service call rather than a handpiece burnout.

    • Fleet dashboard for Prague support

      The desk sees what the device sees

      Give the support team a single view of every connected device's recent operating history, current session and last-known state, so the first response to a ticket from Canada or Dubai is a diagnosis, not a request for more photos.

    • Service shifts from blind reaction on the customer's word to data-driven resolution from device evidence.
    • Handpiece and diode-stack failures are caught against the session that produced them, not against the device that already shipped.
    • Warranty decisions draw on a usage history the desk can read, so absorb-versus-bill becomes a defensible call.

    We've done this before

  • Enterprise AI

    API-first integration of devices with the AlviBeauty platform

    We bridge the air gap between Alvi Prague's smart devices and the AlviBeauty Business CRM through an API-first integration, so each completed session flows automatically into inventory, billing and consumables reorder logic.

    • Session auto-capture from the device

      The device logs the session itself

      Configure the Quasar and DL-7000 to transmit session protocol, shot count and energy parameters to the AlviBeauty backend API on completion, so the CRM record is generated by the device rather than re-keyed by the salon owner.

    • Inventory sync from consumables usage

      Stock counts move with the session

      Connect device consumables usage — gel, solution, handpiece cycles — to the AlviBeauty warehouse module, so a session triggers a stock deduction and a reorder prompt when the level falls below threshold.

    • Billing and ROI entries per session

      Every session becomes a billing event

      Create an automatic billing entry for each logged session so the clinic's revenue and the device's contribution are visible without a separate admin step, and consumables reorder prompts keep the clinic on Alvi Prague supply rather than third-party alternatives.

    • Manual stocktakes and inventory drift disappear because the device's record and the CRM's record are the same record.
    • Consumables revenue stops leaking when sessions that were never logged are now logged by the device that performed them.
    • Salon owners see ROI per device without a separate admin step, which strengthens the case for the next purchase.

  • Digital Lab

    Automated MDR post-market surveillance from connected devices

    We connect the installed base to a continuous post-market surveillance pipeline that aggregates treatment parameters, error codes and adverse-event triggers into Real-World Evidence reports aligned with European Medical Device Regulation.

    • Continuous telemetry aggregation

      Real-world evidence, automatically

      Continuously ingest telemetry from connected devices to build statistical datasets on treatment parameters, error frequencies and emergency-stop activations across the global installed base, replacing annual surveys with running aggregates.

    • PMS report generation

      Reports in the format auditors expect

      Transform the aggregated data into structured Post-Market Surveillance reports aligned with MDR requirements, so the periodic review the regulator asks for is produced from the same evidence that the device fleet has already generated.

    • Adverse-event detection

      Alerts that match the regulator's bar

      Implement alert thresholds that flag unusual patterns — repeated emergency stops, thermal excursions outside specification, error-code clustering on a model — so the company can investigate before the regulator has to ask.

    • Survey-driven PMS gives way to continuous evidence drawn from the installed base.
    • Audit responses draw on the same evidence the regulator is asking about, rather than a reconstruction.
    • A safety signal is visible to the company before it becomes visible to a customer or a regulator.

    We've done this before

  • Digital CDMO

    R&D test bench integration and thermal digital twin

    We connect the Prague R&D test benches to a LIMS and a thermal digital twin of the laser handpiece, so engineering data feeds CE technical files directly and the cooling system can be validated against Dubai heat and Norway cold in simulation.

    • Test bench data capture

      Bench results captured at source

      Connect power meters, oscilloscopes and environmental chambers to a central LIMS so each test run produces a recorded data set rather than a transcribed spreadsheet, with instrument identity, method version and timestamp attached.

    • Thermal digital twin of the handpiece

      Validate in simulation, not in shipping

      Build a thermal simulation of the DL-7000 handpiece and its cooling loop so the team can validate cooling behaviour at Dubai ambient versus Norway ambient without shipping physical prototypes between climates.

    • CE technical file automation

      Files draw on validated evidence

      Generate CE technical documentation from the validated test data and simulation results, with the technical file for each of the 70+ models drawing on the same structured evidence base instead of being assembled by hand.

    • Test bench data becomes the technical file's primary source rather than something the engineer types in afterwards.
    • Prototype iteration cycles shorten because thermal behaviour is checked in simulation before physical builds.
    • The same evidence base serves the next CE submission, the next ISO audit and the next internal design review.

    We've done this before

    See how we do Digital CDMO
  • Agents

    AI agents for CE technical files and post-market documentation

    Narrow, reviewable agents that take the recurring part of CE and post-market document work — drafting a technical file or a PMS update from source records, checking a document against its CE/MDR template before review, and finding every controlled document a standards change affects. A named reviewer approves every output.

    • Drafting from source records

      First drafts from bench and fleet data

      Generate the first draft of a CE technical file, a clinical evaluation report or a PMS update directly from the underlying test bench records, device telemetry and design history, so the engineer edits and judges rather than assembles.

    • Template and completeness checking

      Gaps found before review

      Check a submitted document against the CE/MDR template and the internal checklist the regulator or notified body expects, returning missing or inconsistent sections before the document enters the human review queue.

    • Change-impact search across the controlled document set

      Which files a standards change touches

      When an MDR harmonised rule, an ISO 13485 clause or an internal procedure changes, retrieve every controlled document across the 70+ model files that references it and rank them by how directly they are affected.

    • The CE submission queue moves faster because documents arrive complete, with the source records attached.
    • The scope of a standards change across the 70+ model files is established by search rather than by recollection.
    • Engineering time shifts from assembling documents to judging the content inside them.
