"What does alarm F-112 mean?"

"What’s the changeover procedure for product 7740?"

"Which torque setting is required for this assembly?"

"When is the next planned maintenance on line 2?"

The challenge

Manufacturing knowledge lives in machine manuals, SOPs, quality procedures, drawings and the heads of experienced operators. When a line stops, every minute spent searching costs output.

Skilled staff are retiring, new operators need training quickly and procedures change with every product and customer requirement. Mistakes lead to scrap, rework and safety risks.

Customers and distributors also need fast technical answers about products, specifications and orders.

What is Echo7?

Echo7 is an AI assistant for your manufacturing business that works from your own information. You give it machine manuals, SOPs, quality procedures, work instructions, technical datasheets and safety rules – PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, text or CSV – and it builds a searchable knowledge base.

When an operator, engineer or customer asks a question in their own words and language, Echo7 finds the relevant approved information and replies clearly. This is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): every answer is grounded in your own information rather than an AI model’s general knowledge, so it stays accurate and up to date.

And it goes beyond answers: it logs maintenance requests, checks production and stock data, and answers customer questions on products and orders.

The results

With Echo7, operators and engineers find the right procedure, alarm fix or specification in seconds, on the floor. Downtime is shorter and work follows the current standard.

Managers feel it too: faster training, consistent quality, knowledge captured from experienced staff and customers who get technical answers without waiting.

The outcome: less downtime, less scrap, safer work and a more resilient operation.

Answers from your own documentation

Every response comes from your approved manuals, SOPs and quality procedures.

Faster fault recovery

Operators get alarm meanings and recovery steps instantly, with safety procedures included.

Maintenance requests logged

Echo7 records issues with machine, alarm and history details.

Live production data

Integrations add schedules, stock and maintenance plans to answers.

Training on the floor

New operators learn procedures by asking questions on the job.

Customer technical support

Customers and distributors get approved answers on specifications and orders.

How Echo7 works behind the scenes

Every conversation follows the same governed path. Echo7 works out what the guest needs – information, live availability or an action – and orchestrates the right components.

01

Understand

It interprets each request in the context of your organisation and the user’s role, so nobody needs to know which document or system holds the answer.

02

Retrieve

It searches your approved machine manuals, SOPs, quality procedures and work instructions for the relevant, up-to-date information.

03

Act

Agents and integrations log maintenance requests, check production and stock data and notify the right people – within the rules you set.

04

Respond

It composes a clear answer with next steps, in the user’s language, and hands over to a person when needed.

How it works in practice

From an alarm to a restarted line, Echo7 supports your teams in a single conversation.

Try asking our assistant a similar question – for example: “Can Echo7 explain machine alarms from our manuals?” or “Can it log maintenance requests?”

Step 1

An operator asks: “How do I change over line 3 to product 7740?”

Step 2

Echo7 shares the changeover work instruction and quality checks.

Step 3

It confirms materials are available and the schedule slot.

Step 4

It records the changeover and alerts quality for first-off approval.

Connects to the tools you already use

Echo7 works with your manufacturing systems, so documentation and live data come together.

Credentials are managed securely, each connection is a clear, testable, reusable agent, and new capabilities can be added at any time.
Explore Integrations and Agents

ERP and MES

SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and MES platforms for orders, schedules and stock.

Maintenance

CMMS and asset management tools for requests and planned maintenance.

Quality

Quality management systems for procedures, non-conformances and audits.

Documents

SharePoint and Google Drive keep manuals, SOPs and datasheets in sync.

Collaboration

Microsoft Teams, so teams ask Echo7 on any device.

Reporting

Power BI and production data for performance and downtime questions.

In control, always

AI support shouldn’t mean losing control of your procedures and production data. Echo7 follows governed workflows: it asks for missing information, applies your rules and handles uncertain cases through safe fallback paths – passing the request to a shift engineer or supervisor when a person is the better choice.

Access controls ensure each user sees only what they’re authorised to – costs and customer pricing for managers only, for example. Assistants can have separate knowledge bases and integrations, escalations are traceable and credentials protected.

Have a question about security or data? Ask our assistant.

Agents, integrations and processes can be enabled, paused or replaced at any time.
