AI-powered Documentation

Knowledge Management Made for the Factory Floor

When a machine goes down and your technician can't find the wiring diagram, every minute costs you. We fix that.

The Problem We Solve

What Changes When You Work With Scanmatics

Most facilities have documentation — it's just in the wrong place, in the wrong format, or impossible to find under pressure.

Before Scanmatics

  • Technician spends 45+ minutes hunting for the right wiring diagram
  • Files scattered across shared drives, email threads, and paper binders
  • Engineering gets called away to answer basic troubleshooting questions
  • New hires and contractors have no institutional knowledge to draw on
  • Documentation gets outdated — nobody knows which version is current
  • Each hour of downtime costs $200k+ with no fast path to resolution

After Scanmatics

  • Technician scans QR code and has the right document in under 30 seconds
  • All documentation centralized, versioned, and linked to physical assets
  • AI chatbot answers technical questions without pulling in engineering
  • New team members access the same institutional knowledge from day one
  • Documentation updates propagate instantly — everyone sees the latest version
  • Mean time to repair drops measurably from first week of deployment
Core Product

QR Documentation Management

Every machine, panel, and piece of equipment in your facility can have its own digital identity — a QR code that links your team directly to everything they need to know about that asset.

All Document Types Supported

Wiring diagrams, P&IDs, maintenance manuals, safety procedures, video walkthroughs, spec sheets — if it's a document, it can be linked.

Version Control Built In

Update a document and every QR code linked to it instantly serves the new version. No reprinting labels, no stale binders.

No App Required

Works with the standard camera app on any smartphone. Your team doesn't need to install anything or remember a login.

Physical Asset

Machine, panel, conveyor, robot

QR Code Label

Durable label affixed to asset

Worker Scans with Phone

Standard camera app, no install needed

All Linked Documents Open

Wiring diagrams, manuals, history

AI Answers Follow-up Questions

Plain-language answers from documentation

AI Layer

An AI That Knows Your Equipment

After a QR scan, your team can ask the AI questions in plain English. It searches the linked documentation — your actual manuals and diagrams — and gives specific answers, not generic search results.

24/7 Availability

Shift work never stops. The AI is available on nights, weekends, and holidays — no escalation to engineering required for routine troubleshooting.

Grounded in Your Documents

The AI only answers based on documentation you've uploaded — no hallucinations, no generic responses. Real answers from real manuals.

Scanmatics AI · Conveyor Line 4 – Motor M-03

QR scan: 3-phase motor M-03 · 7 docs linked · Last service 14 days ago

Why is M-03 throwing an overtemperature fault? It's been running about 2 hours on shift B.

Based on the M-03 Maintenance Manual (pg. 47), overtemperature on this motor has three common causes:

  1. Blocked cooling vents — debris accumulation near inlet screen
  2. Ambient temp > 40°C — check if Line 4 enclosure is ventilated
  3. Drive overload — check VFD load % on panel HMI

Vent screen looks clear. Where's the rear access panel?

East-facing side of the motor housing, secured by four M6 bolts. See Diagram 3.2 in the wiring doc for exact location.

Implementation

From Kickoff to Go-Live

We handle the full implementation — documentation audit, QR deployment, AI setup, and team training. Most facilities are live within a few weeks.

  1. Discovery & Audit

    We walk through your facility, catalog assets, and assess your existing documentation. You'll get a clear picture of what you have, what's missing, and what the rollout looks like.

  2. Document Organization

    We help structure and upload your documentation library — assigning documents to assets, establishing naming conventions, and creating a versioning workflow your team can maintain going forward.

  3. QR Deployment

    Durable QR code labels are generated and affixed to each asset. We design for your environment — industrial adhesives, weatherproofing, enclosures — whatever your facility conditions require.

  4. AI Configuration

    The AI chatbot is trained on your specific documentation library. We tune it to your terminology, your equipment, and your common troubleshooting patterns before it goes live.

  5. Team Training & Rollout

    We run training sessions for your maintenance and operations teams. The learning curve is minimal — if your team can scan a QR code, they can use Scanmatics.

  6. Ongoing Support

    After go-live, we monitor usage patterns, update documentation workflows, and continue improving the AI's accuracy as your documentation library grows.

Use Cases

How Different Teams Use Scanmatics

Maintenance & Reliability

Your maintenance team gets the right document for the machine they're standing in front of — in under 30 seconds. No hunting, no calls to the engineering office during a crisis.

OEM Customer Support

Ship equipment with embedded QR codes on the nameplate. Your customers get instant access to manuals and AI support — you get fewer support tickets and more satisfied customers.

Contractor Onboarding

Contractors arrive on-site and can immediately access documentation for unfamiliar equipment. Reduced orientation time, fewer errors, and no sensitive documents emailed around before a job.
