The Challenge
Operators and maintenance crews work with SOPs, equipment manuals, quality procedures and maintenance histories spread across binders, shared drives and a document system nobody enjoys using.
- 1Operators searching binders and shared drives for the right SOP mid-shift
- 2Equipment manuals and maintenance history disconnected from the machine in question
- 3Shift handovers dependent on individual recall and inconsistent notes
Our Approach
CloudGate builds a shop-floor copilot on Copilot Studio grounded in SOPs, equipment manuals, quality procedures and maintenance history, so operators ask a plain-language question and get the specific procedure for the asset in front of them.
- Copilot grounded in SOPs, manuals, quality procedures and maintenance history
- Asset-specific answers driven by line, machine and fault context
- Automatic shift handover summarization from production and maintenance events
