USE CASE · INDUSTRY

RAG for procedures: query your technical documentation in plain language

The right answer in seconds, sourced from your own documents

Routings, work instructions, machine sheets: the right information exists, but it's nowhere to be found at the right moment. An AI assistant reads all your documentation and answers your operators' questions in plain language, with the source cited.

L'enjeu

In most plants, knowledge is fragmented: paper binders, PDFs on a server, Excel files, and above all the memory of a few veterans. Finding the right information at the right moment is often a treasure hunt.

Documentation is scattered and heterogeneous (paper, PDF, intranet, in people's heads): no one knows for sure where the up-to-date version is.

Looking up a routing or an instruction takes minutes each time, multiplied by every operator and every day: productive time going up in smoke.

The departure or absence of an expert takes away knowledge that was never written down: best practices are lost, the same mistakes come back.

An answer given from memory or pulled from an old version is expensive: scrap, rework, safety incident, customer non-conformity.

Comment l'IA résout ce problème

An AI assistant ingests all your technical documentation (routings, work instructions, machine sheets, incident history). The operator asks their question in plain language, at the workstation, and gets a concise answer with the source cited (document, version, page). The AI answers only from your documents: if the information doesn't exist, it says so, it doesn't invent.

Les briques techniques

Ingestion and chunking pipeline for your documents (PDF, Word, Excel, scans). Vector knowledge base. Sovereign language model (Mistral) returning sourced answers, with no fabrication. Question interface at the workstation (PC, tablet, mobile). Access rights managed by profile. Sovereign or on-premise hosting.

Les données mobilisées

Your routings and work instructions, your machine sheets and manuals, your quality and safety procedures, your incident and maintenance history. PDF, Word, Excel or scans: the existing documentation is enough, no need to rewrite everything.

Bénéfices attendus

Answers in seconds

The operator gets the right information at the workstation, without leaving the line or waiting for an available colleague.

Sourced, reliable answers

Every answer cites its source and version: no more instructions given from memory or pulled from an outdated document.

Know-how captured

The veterans' expertise is written down, structured and accessible to all: it no longer retires with them.

Faster ramp-up

New joiners find answers on their own: onboarding gets shorter and weighs less on the teams.

Expert insights

The shop floor's know-how sits in PDFs and in the heads of a few veterans. A RAG assistant makes it queryable in plain language, with the source, and without ever making things up: that last point is what makes the difference in production.

Discuter de mon projet

One client case

Client case Aerospace

Giving operators instant access to technical documentation

An aerospace equipment supplier of around 150 employees in south-west France. Dense technical documentation (routings, assembly instructions, customer requirements) scattered across the ERP, a file server and binders. The AI assistant ingests it all; at the workstation, operators query the base in plain language and get a sourced answer, with the document and its version. Deployed in 8 weeks, documentation sources kept in place.


−65%time spent looking for information
2 minto find an instruction, versus 20 min
5 monthsto reach ROI

Estimated gains between €60,000 and €120,000 per year, in operator time and avoided non-quality.
