Software maker Augmentir has developed a new smart co-pilot developed specifically for connected production and maintenance. Augie uses generative AI to provide targeted support for skilled workers in their work. This involves much more than just questions and answers.

Augie starts with the digitalization of standard operating procedures (SOPs). In doing so, he converts paper-based or digital content directly into structured work instructions. Now, all users have to do is take a photo of a notice with safety instructions to turn it into an interactive checklist.

Existing Word, Excel, PDF or JPG files are automatically converted into dynamic content that guides industrial workers at their workplace. Initial practical applications show that SOPs can be digitized 85 percent faster this way.

The effort required for onboarding new employees also decreases significantly, by up to 72 percent according to Augmentir. This is because Augie can create interactive training modules with tests and solutions in a matter of seconds. To do this, it uses content from manuals, videos or existing tests. This also helps with further training: based on integrated skill management, the system tailors the content precisely to the user’s level of knowledge and practical experience.

Augie also comes into its own during operation. If, for example, a specialist notices a problem with a system, the assistant analyzes relevant documents in a matter of seconds. It then provides precise explanations, including instructions for troubleshooting. In practice, this has led to an average of one-third more productivity.
