Machine-specific AI for manufacturing uptime

Turn machine knowledge into guided action.

Uptime.AI helps operators, technicians, engineers, and managers resolve faults, follow procedures, train employees, and escalate support — using your approved manuals, SOPs, machine data, and history.

How do I clear fault F812 on the X-axis drive?
Before clearing: confirm LOTO and PPE are in place.
1Check encoder cable seating at connector X104 on Drive #7.
2Verify P-0-0117 — shield continuity on hybrid cable segment 7→8.
3If drive temp >75°C, allow 10 min cool-down before proceeding.
4Clear fault via P-0-0012, bit 3. Run homing sequence before auto.

Answers that know the machine, the role, and the risk.

Uptime.AI turns static documentation and live machine context into step-by-step guidance that is faster and safer than searching manuals or calling support.

Fault resolution

Translate fault codes and symptoms into corrective actions, parameter checks, safe recovery steps, and exact manual citations — calibrated to who is asking.

📋

Guided procedures

Walk users through startup, changeover, LOTO, cold start, PM, and recovery workflows — step by step, enforced in sequence, adapted to role and experience.

📈

Operational insight

Mine conversations, faults, and historian data for repeat issues, support demand, parts opportunities, and training gaps across machines and sites.

🎓

Training & simulation

Help new employees learn the machine through interactive, role-appropriate explanations — replacing the PDF stack and reducing time-to-competency.

🛡️

Governance & compliance

Role-based access, audit trails, approved-document enforcement, refusal rules, and escalation paths. Audit-ready transcripts on every session.

🔁

Escalation automation

Package the user's question, machine state, alarm, manual citations, and attempted steps before routing to support — automatically, with full context.

Workflow

From alarm to action without leaving the machine.

Operators do not need to know which manual, page, parameter, or support contact applies. Uptime.AI narrows the answer using machine context, role, and history.

Machine status

Axis, drive, alarm, recipe, and service context prioritizes the answer.

Role-based guidance

One assistant. Four different answers.

The same fault should not be explained the same way to an operator, a technician, an engineer, and a manager. Role is set at login — no session configuration needed.

Architecture

Built once. Adapted to each machine.

The core AI layer is hardware-agnostic and reusable across every project. The adapter layer changes per machine, PLC, historian, or customer standard — and it is the only layer that changes.

Positioning

Why Uptime.AI is different from ChatGPT.

General AI is open-ended. Uptime.AI is designed for controlled industrial environments where wrong answers, skipped safety steps, or missing context create downtime and risk.

Uptime.AI

  • Bounded to your approved manuals and SOPs
  • Uses role, asset, alarm, and machine context
  • Cites the exact source page and procedure
  • Enforces safety steps — can refuse unsafe requests
  • Logs every session for audit and improvement
  • Escalates with full support context automatically
  • You own all code, data, and infrastructure

Generic chatbot

  • Not machine-specific or document-bounded
  • No built-in site procedures or role permissions
  • No guaranteed document or version control
  • No plant-floor escalation workflow
  • No equipment history or live machine telemetry
  • No operational analytics or compliance reporting
  • Your data trains their model
Pilot plan

Start small, prove value, then scale.

A practical pilot focuses on one machine, one set of documents, a small user group, and measurable downtime or support outcomes. Phase 1 is live in 4 weeks at a fixed fee of $6,460.

Scope

Select the machine, user roles, manuals, common fault codes, and procedures that matter most on your floor.

Ingest

Load up to 20 manuals, SOPs, drawings, alarm catalogs, and escalation rules. OCR fallback handles scanned documents.

Connect

Add optional PLC, historian, SCADA, CMMS, or email integrations as needed via OPC UA, MQTT, REST, or SQL.

Measure

Track MTTR reduction, first-contact resolution rate, support call deflection, onboarding time, and compliance readiness.

FAQ

Questions customers will ask.

Does Uptime.AI control the machine?

It can be deployed as advisory-only, approval-gated, or integrated with workflows. For most pilots, the safest starting point is advisory guidance with citations, audit trails, and escalation — read-only, no machine commands.

Can it work without replacing the PLC, HMI, or SCADA?

Yes. Uptime.AI is designed to connect around existing equipment through standard OT and IT interfaces — OPC UA, MQTT, REST, SQL, Modbus — rather than forcing a controls replacement.

Is my data secure? Who owns it?

You own everything. Manuals, queries, and transcripts live in your own AWS, cloud, or on-premises accounts. There is no cross-customer model training. AWS Bedrock contractually guarantees Anthropic does not train on your data.

Can it work on-prem or air-gapped?

Yes. Depending on the AI model and customer IT requirements, the architecture can be edge, VM, cloud, hybrid, or restricted-network. Air-gapped options are available.

What makes a good pilot machine?

A good pilot has known manuals, frequent fault codes or procedures, clear user roles, and measurable outcomes — MTTR reduction, support call deflection, onboarding time, or compliance visibility. One machine, focused scope, 4 weeks.

What does it cost after the initial build?

Monthly cloud and AI operating costs run approximately $55–$220/month for a typical single-plant deployment (20 users, ~500 sessions/month). You own the code outright — no ongoing license fee or vendor lock-in.
