The new patent-pending AI application automatically extracts data from standard operating procedures – SOPs – commonly prepared as part of the process for repairing and maintaining complex equipment. Automating the extraction of key data and incorporating it directly into the Manifest ® platform from Taqtile saves organizations time and money, and increases service accuracy. In many industries, the most commonly used file format for storing SOPs is Adobe PDF. This time-intensive method of manually tracking and accessing form-based information can cause delays, result in inaccuracies, and suffer from human error. The new 3D Media data-extraction tool replaces these form-driven processes by rapidly incorporating key information directly into the Manifest AR platform, increasing efficiencies, improving the overall accuracy of repairs, and supporting critical maintenance of industrial equipment conducted by frontline personnel.
