At the same time, downtime has become more expensive, and supply chain and sustainability rules add documentation to every shipment. Problems and answers ## 4 problems, and how GENIA would tackle each one. Problem 01 ### Experienced workers retire, knowledge walks out Troubleshooting tricks, setup sequences and supplier history often live only in veterans' heads. New hires take longer to become productive and repeat avoidable mistakes. 0.0 million US manufacturing jobs that could go unfilled through 2033 [Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute (2024)](https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/manufacturing-industrial-products/supporting-us-manufacturing-growth-amid-workforce-challenges.html) With GENIA #### Turn expert sessions into living procedures 1. 1 Record experts walking through setups and fixes; GENIA transcribes and indexes them by minute. 2. 2 Process discovery builds the AS-IS procedure with steps, controls, systems and roles. 3. 3 Operators ask questions and get answers citing the exact session minute. Reads from - Recorded shop-floor sessions - Work instructions - Maintenance manuals - Shift handover emails Your people decide. Engineers approve procedures before they go live. Problem 02 ### Unplanned downtime costs more every year When a line stops, technicians search manuals, old tickets and emails for the last time it happened. Answers are scattered, and the cost of every lost hour keeps climbing. $0.0 trillion lost yearly to unplanned downtime by the world's 500 largest companies [Siemens, The True Cost of Downtime 2024 (2024)](https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/api/uuid:1b43afb5-2d07-47f7-9eb7-893fe7d0bc59/tcod-2024_original.pdf) With GENIA #### Past fixes, found in seconds 1. 1 Knowledge Hub indexes OEM manuals, maintenance reports and technician emails in one place. 2. 2 Technicians ask about a fault and get past fixes with page and email citations. 3. 3 After each incident, an agent drafts the report and updates the troubleshooting guide. Reads from - OEM manuals - Maintenance reports - Technician emails - Recorded repair sessions Your people decide. Maintenance leads decide on repairs and part orders. Problem 03 ### Quality deviations demand fast, documented answers Nonconformances and customer complaints require root cause analysis across specs, batch records and supplier certificates. Investigations stall while people hunt for documents. With GENIA #### Investigations start with the evidence gathered 1. 1 An objective per deviation collects specs, batch records and supplier certificates. 2. 2 The agent drafts a timeline and candidate causes, each linked to its source document. 3. 3 It asks the quality engineer which hypothesis to pursue, then prepares the 8D draft. Reads from - Specifications - Batch records - Supplier certificates - Customer complaint emails Your people decide. The quality engineer confirms root cause and corrective action. Problem 04 ### Supplier and sustainability evidence keeps growing Sustainability reporting, product regulations and customer audits demand supplier data and declarations. Teams chase certificates by email and rebuild the same evidence for every request. With GENIA #### Supplier evidence collected and kept current 1. 1 Agents read supplier emails and documents and extract declarations and certificate dates. 2. 2 Gaps and expiring documents become a list with draft requests to each supplier. 3. 3 Evidence packs are prepared with every item linked to its source, ready for review. Reads from - Supplier mailbox - Certificates on SharePoint - Purchasing records - Sustainability policies Your people decide. Sustainability and purchasing leads approve what is reported. A project, objective by objective ## Quality deviation flow 1. Objective 1 Log deviation and gather records Done 2. Objective 2 Collect supplier and batch evidence Done 3. Objective 3 Draft root cause hypotheses In progress 4. Objective 4 Engineer review and decision Waiting on you 5. Objective 5 Update work instructions Next Objectives run in parallel when they can, chain when one needs the other, and stop to ask a person when a decision is not theirs to make. Ask your knowledge ## One question, a sourced answer. How did we fix the last hydraulic pressure fault on Press Line 3? GENIA The last fault was a worn relief valve, replaced and recalibrated to 210 bar (Maintenance report MR-1182, p. 2). The technician explained the calibration steps in the March handover session (Recording, min. 14). Illustrative example Regulation ## GENIA prepares the evidence.
