01 Troubleshooting depends on veterans
Every stoppage means calling an expert and hunting through records.
Downtime Minimization AIConnect shop-floor knowledge.Minimize factory losses.
AI structures work video, voice, equipment data and past incidents — supporting downtime response, skill transfer and quality improvement from a single knowledge base.

Sound familiar?
Shop-floor knowledge is scattered across machines, processes and people. Each of our four products addresses one of these challenges.
01 
02 Know-how is hard to pass on
Tacit skills resist documentation, and there is no time to teach.
Skill Transfer & Training Support AI
03 Defect root causes are hard to trace
Material lot, machine setting or operation — finding the cause takes days.
Quality Loss Minimization AI
04 Physical AI adoption stalls
Which tasks to hand to robots, and how to collect the data, remain unclear.
Physical AI AdoptionBy the numbers | Why skill transfer fails
0%
of struggling manufacturers cite "no time to teach" as the reason skill transfer fails
0%
cite "lack of communication between mentors and successors"
0%
cite "cannot secure mentors"

Connect video, voice and existing data.
Structure your shop-floor knowledge.
-
STEP 1 · Collect
Gather shop-floor data
Work video and voice, equipment and sensors, drawings, failure and inspection logs.
-
STEP 2 · Structure
AI structures it
AI reads video, voice and logs, and links equipment, parts, procedures and events.
-
STEP 3 · Apply
Use it on the floor
Create work instructions, investigate failures, improve quality, plan automation.
Key terms
- Knowledge map (ontology)
- A map of how equipment, parts, processes, failures and fixes relate — in a form AI can search and reason over.
- Physical AI
- AI that acts in the physical world, such as robots and machines.
- Digital twin
- A virtual replica of a factory or machine.
Narrow down likely causes with the knowledge map, and show which process to check
Trace a door-mirror assembly defect through the knowledge map and digital twin.
- 01
Anomaly
Function test finds rattling when the mirror folds.
- 02
Trace the cause
The map leads from a torque anomaly on screw S-2 to a faulty nutrunner NR-02 as a likely cause.
- 03
Verify on site
The same ID shows the location on the digital twin.
