    Quick Answer

    NeoBram builds factory-floor AI chatbots that give operators and technicians instant answers from SOPs, work instructions, equipment manuals and maintenance history - multilingual, tablet- or HMI-ready, MES-aware, and deployed on-premise with full audit trail.

    Why This Matters

    Operator Knowledge Walks Out the Door Every Day.

    20-40% of skilled operators retire over the next decade. The know-how they carry - 'when the line jams here, do this' - lives in their heads and a handful of paper SOPs that nobody reads under time pressure.

    A factory-floor AI chatbot turns SOPs, equipment manuals, maintenance history and tribal knowledge into a single conversational interface. Operators ask in their native language and get the exact procedure, torque spec or troubleshooting tree in seconds.

    We deploy on-premise or in your private cloud with full RAG over your documents, MES-aware context (current product, line state, recent alarms), and a feedback loop so unanswered questions become new SOP entries. No data leaves your network.

    Architecture Deep-Dive

    How We Build It

    SOP & manual search

    Conversational search over your full SOP library, equipment manuals, MSDS, change-over guides and quality procedures with citation back to the source document and page.

    • Cited answers - every response links to source SOP
    • Image and diagram retrieval (not just text)
    • Version-aware (always current approved revision)
    • PDF, DOCX, scanned and handwritten supported

    Troubleshooting assistant

    Step-by-step troubleshooting trees built from manuals plus past maintenance history. Asks operator clarifying questions, narrows root cause, recommends action.

    • Interactive decision trees from OEM manuals
    • Past-case retrieval from CMMS history
    • Step-by-step recommended actions with safety callouts
    • Auto-escalate to maintenance if outside operator scope

    Multilingual & voice

    Operators ask in their native language (Hindi, Marathi, Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Arabic and more). Voice input via Whisper for hands-free use in noisy areas.

    • 30+ languages out of the box
    • Voice input via Whisper (offline)
    • Translation of source SOPs preserved with English original
    • Per-operator language preference

    MES context & feedback loop

    Chatbot knows the current product, line state, recent alarms and operator role - so the same question gets the right answer for the current context. Unanswered questions queue for SOP authors to address.

    • Current SKU and batch context from MES
    • Recent alarms and downtime context
    • Role-aware answers (operator vs maintenance vs QA)
    • Unanswered-question queue feeds SOP improvements
