  • Publication number: 20260087233
    Abstract: A digital technology transfer system transforms technology transfer documents to a set of digitized manufacturing procedures and operations documentation. The system can leverage generative artificial intelligence (AI) and associated trained custom models to transform a technology transfer document to a hierarchical structured model representing a package, or product to be manufactured, and the process for manufacturing the product. The resulting package model can be integrated into a larger model representing an ecosystem of manufacturing entities and plant facilities by assigning steps of the manufacturing process to one or more selected production lines. To reduce dependency on custom-built parsers for each type of document format, the system leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI) and associated trained models to extract and organize document content, and to map the document content to appropriate target data structures that can be consumed by control systems and devices.

  • Publication number: 20250334963
    Abstract: An industrial technical support system leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to generate technical support guidance and recommendations in response to natural language technical support requests submitted as natural language input. The system can maintain and leverage one or more sets of custom models trained with sets of domain-specific training data specific for different industrial domains. When a natural language technical support query is received, the system leverages the domain-specific training data as well as responses prompted form a generative AI model to formulate and render technical support recommendations for addressing a performance or design issue described by the query.
