AI equipment manuals for maintenance
Which energy sources do I isolate before opening press P-4?Changeover on line 3: which parameters do I load?What clearance do I leave when refitting the pump impeller?Taking the press cylinder apart: what can’t I reuse?
Your equipment manuals, with AI. Energy isolation, changeovers, assembly torques and clearances, parts to replace: Neurally finds them in the manuals and answers with the page, right at the machine.
Machine-side panel: before press P-4 is opened, Neurally guides the maintenance technician through the lockout procedure described in the manual, step by step. Sample data.

AI equipment manuals: not just data...
What the shop floor needs isn’t only in the manuals. Neurally analyses videos, reads wiring diagrams and also retrieves old scanned manuals. It can even create new ones, following the rules you provide.
The viewer shows the chosen source: a chat answer citing the training video at the transcript minute, the wiring diagram with the component found, and a scanned manual page read with OCR. Sample data.
What do I need to do before changing the pump filter?
Switch off the pump at the local panel, then close valve V21 before replacing the filter.

Get the most out of your manuals. See how to put them to work.
Manuals stay in your storage. Neurally reads them there and protects them.
Manuals, diagrams and service logs often sit on the plant server or in the engineering department’s folders. Neurally retrieves them without moving or changing them.
Documents indexed on servers in Italy
Each department sees only the manuals that concern it

Industrial technology for ceramics
Manuals created in real time, ready for operators to consult
The challenge
Fragmented, incomplete manuals.
Long, manual tasks.
The solution
OCR software, with a bodycam worn by the operator, creates the manual files in real time.
With Neurally, the manuals are shared and consulted across several departments.

The most common questions about using AI for equipment manuals and maintenance. Can’t find the answer? Contact us.
How does an AI agent for equipment manuals work?
You connect the folders with manuals, maintenance plans and logs. The technician asks a question in plain language and Neurally answers citing the manual and page, so the procedure can be checked before any work starts.
Can it search the service history?
Yes, if the service log is among the connected sources: ask whether an alarm has occurred before and Neurally answers with dates, jobs and log rows.
Is it useful for assembly and disassembly too?
Yes. If the sources include assembly instructions, bills of materials and revision sheets, Neurally answers with tightening torques, sequences, clearances and parts to replace, always citing the page.
Does it also read wiring diagrams and training videos?
Yes, with the Company plan: technical drawings as images, plus transcribed audio and video. Every plan reads PDF, DOCX and scans with OCR, including old manuals.
Does it replace the experienced technician?
No. It makes what is written in the manuals and logs available to everyone, so the expert stops answering the same questions over and over and can focus on new problems.
Do the documents stay within the company?
Data is indexed on servers in Italy, on every plan, and each person sees only their team’s knowledge bases. Documents are not used to train AI models.
