NOVA AI engineering

Practical industrial AI that helps OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, engineering service companies and validation teams diagnose faster, retrieve technical knowledge, automate workflows and produce more consistent technical evidence.

NOVA AI Engineering is relevant when

NOVA is not a generic chatbot added to an industrial website — it is an engineering capability designed around test benches, PLC systems, validation processes and the decisions industrial teams make.

01

Engineering knowledge is spread across documents, systems and experts

02

Repeated faults consume valuable diagnostic time

03

Reports and evidence packages require too much manual work

04

Senior specialists are overloaded with recurring questions

05

Cross-site teams need faster access to approved information

06

Existing workflows need secure, controlled AI support

01

Turn fragmented engineering data into usable knowledge

02

Reduce time spent searching, comparing and summarising

03

Support more consistent engineering execution

04

Keep qualified engineers in control of decisions

One of four core services

  • A standalone AI service that also strengthens recovery, automation and validation workflows
Industrial AI architecture

Approved data in, controlled engineering output out. The architecture is adapted to the client's systems and security requirements.

01

Approved sources

Documentation, maintenance records, fault and alarm histories, PLC/HMI exports and test records.

02

NOVA intelligence layer

Controlled source retrieval, document and event comparison, role-based response generation and traceable output.

03

Engineering workflows

Human-reviewed diagnostic guidance, knowledge assistance, test support, reports and approved actions.

Security, deployment & control

Deployment and access models are selected according to confidentiality, infrastructure and operational requirements.

Private deployment options

On-premises, private cloud or isolated project environments where technically appropriate.

Role-based access

Users receive access according to project, system and engineering responsibility.

Approved source control

Responses can be restricted to client-approved data and document collections.

Source-linked answers

Technical outputs can reference the underlying source used to generate the response.

Auditability

Relevant prompts, source use, output and approval steps can be logged per project needs.

Human approval gates

Critical technical actions remain subject to review by qualified personnel.

Role-based engineering workspaces
Technician

Guidance at the point of work

Approved checks, restart procedures, alarm-context capture and run notes.

Test-Rig Engineer

Faster investigation & handover

Compare fault histories, review sequence blockers and prepare handovers.

Test Engineer

Consistent preparation

Retrieve assets, check preparation completeness and generate run summaries.

Validation Engineer

Traceability across campaigns

Compare deviations, review evidence completeness and summarise campaign status.

Implementation approach
A

Identify the bottleneck

Define the operational problem, affected roles, current workflow and expected improvement.

B

Assess data readiness

Review documents, records, systems, data quality, ownership and confidentiality.

C

Define the use case

Agree users, allowed questions, required outputs, security model and acceptance criteria.

D

Build the solution

Configure retrieval, prompts, workflow logic, interfaces and relevant integrations.

E

Validate & review

Test against known faults and procedures; engineers assess usefulness and traceability.

F

Deploy & improve

Release within agreed governance; track adoption, time savings and next opportunities.

NOVA supports engineers. It does not replace engineering authority. Qualified personnel remain responsible for safety decisions, software changes, machine operation, validation conclusions and formal technical approval.

NOVA can retrieve, compare, structure and recommend. Final technical judgement remains with the client's appointed engineers and responsible operational teams.
