About Palambur

Lean optimized your shop floor. We apply that same rigor to AI.

Why Palambur exists

Industrial companies in the Jura Arc excel on the shop floor, and lose hours in the office. Meanwhile, AI entered companies through the back door: personal accounts, free tools, sensitive data copied and pasted.

Palambur exists to reconcile the two: apply to AI the discipline that already governs your production. Measurable gains, protected data, sovereign tools, and teams that no longer need outside consultants long term.

The founder

Victor Semblanet

Founder and director, based in La Chaux-de-Fonds. A Mines de Nancy engineer and Lean expert (Kaizen, 5S, VSM), Victor comes from the field: an SAP migration in the energy sector, then production manager in luxury jewelry manufacturing in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Machining, polishing, and setting workshops.

He now applies that shop-floor rigor to AI: agents and automation, governance (Shadow AI, GDPR, EU AI Act), change management, for companies across the Jura Arc.
