Example data.

Four principles

Documents in, tasks out.

Documents first
No sensor, no interface, no master data upkeep. vi starts with a PDF, scan or photo.
Every answer with a source
For a deadline, a defect or a price, vi shows which document and which passage a statement comes from.
Approval before action
Queries, orders and forwarding go out only after you have approved them. Every approval is documented.
One logic for every industry
Compressor or refrigeration system: contract, report, quote, invoice and deadline connect the same way everywhere.
Documents

What vi reads.

Seven document groups that show up in every service operation. vi reads them, assigns them to the asset and turns them into tasks.

01

Technical machine documentation

  • Operating manuals
  • Maintenance manuals
  • Wiring diagrams
  • Pneumatic diagrams
  • Bills of materials
  • Software versions

vi answers questions straight from manuals and diagrams and knows the state of every asset.

02

Maintenance and inspection

  • Maintenance plans
  • Checklists
  • Inspection reports
  • Measurement records
  • Calibration records

Intervals and deadlines go into the calendar, defects become tickets with a deadline.

03

Repairs and faults

  • Service tickets
  • Error codes
  • Technician reports
  • Photos
  • Log files
  • Past repairs

vi links every fault to the asset history and finds comparable cases.

04

Spare parts and modernization

  • Spare parts catalogs
  • Quotes
  • Orders
  • Engineering change notices
  • Obsolescence lists

vi checks quotes against market and contract and spots discontinued parts.

05

Contracts and service billing

  • Service agreements
  • SLAs
  • Proof of service
  • Invoices
  • Warranty agreements

Scope, SLA and warranty are checked against the work done and the invoice.

06

Pharma qualification and compliance

  • IQ/OQ/PQ documents
  • SOPs
  • Validation reports
  • Change controls
  • Deviations
  • CAPAs

vi checks documents for completeness and links maintenance to the required checks.

07

Customer and asset history

  • Acceptance reports
  • Configuration states
  • Modification history
  • Correspondence
  • Field service reports

One file per asset, from the acceptance report to the last service call.

For operators

Maintenance, facility management, procurement.

All of a company’s assets, contracts and deadlines in one place. Quotes and invoices are checked before they are paid, and defects are tracked until the proof is in.

For service providers

Reports that reach the customer.

Service providers can use vi to manage their customers’ reports, contracts and deadlines and give them an overview. We are happy to talk through what that looks like in your case.

Limits

What vi does not do.

vi takes over the document work. Professional responsibility stays with you and your specialists.

Does not replace inspections

vi reads inspection reports but does not inspect assets. Inspections stay with inspection bodies and competent persons.

No safety decisions

Whether an asset may keep running or a modification is substantial is decided by people. vi prepares the documents for that decision.

No action without approval

vi prepares and asks. Anything that goes outside goes out only after your approval.

Maintenance that thinks ahead.

Show us a service contract or inspection report. We'll show you what vi makes of it.
