The right manual page in your technician's hands, with the source cited

An assistant that answers technicians by citing the manual, work order or alarm, with alerts from machine data. It can run without sending data to the cloud.

01The problem

Experienced maintenance technicians are scarce and every hour of downtime is expensive; the know-how sits in manuals, old work orders and the heads of people close to retirement. Up to 61% of companies report a shortage of technicians, according to Kearney.

02How we solve it

We index manuals, work orders and alarm histories with semantic search; the assistant (web or mobile) suggests a diagnosis citing the source and says when it doesn't know; simple rules on machine data raise alerts before failures; everything can run on local models when the data is confidential, and the answer is logged on the work order.

03How it works

01Knowledge base02Question03Cited answer04Alerts and logging
  1. Knowledge base

    Manuals, work orders and alarm histories are indexed for semantic search.

  2. Question

    The technician asks on the web or on a phone, in plain language.

  3. Cited answer

    The assistant suggests a diagnosis with the source, or says it didn't find one.

  4. Alerts and logging

    Rules on machine data raise alerts, and answers are logged on the work order.

The highlighted step is the check: anything that fails the rules goes back for review instead of moving on.

04What changes in practice

  • Faster repairs. The technician finds the right procedure without digging through folders.

  • Trustworthy answers. Every suggestion cites the manual, work order or alarm it came from.

  • Fewer surprises. Simple alerts from machine data flag problems before the breakdown.

05What you get

  • Indexed maintenance knowledge base
  • Web and mobile assistant with source citations
  • Alert rules based on machine data
  • Work-order integration

09Frequently asked questions

How much does an AI maintenance copilot cost?

Every project is quoted after a free assessment, based on scope, volume and the systems involved. You get a fixed-price proposal in writing before any work starts.

How long does a maintenance copilot pilot take?

The pilot takes 6 to 8 weeks. Typical scope: one area or equipment family.

What if the assistant doesn't know the answer?

It says it didn't find it and shows the closest passages, instead of making something up. Every answer includes the source so the technician can check it.

Do the alerts need new sensors?

Not always. The pilot starts with the data the machines already produce (alarms, PLC, hour meters); sensors are added only where they make a difference.
