The Answer Exists. Finding It Is the Problem.
On most floors, the knowledge is real but scattered. Every question turns into a search.
Buried in Manuals
The OEM manual has the answer on page 214, in a cabinet in the office, possibly in the wrong language. Nobody opens it mid-shift.
Locked in Someone's Head
The one person who knows is on the other shift, on vacation, or retired last spring. The question waits until they are back.
Scattered Across Policies
PPE rules, quality holds, HR policies. The information lives in binders, portals, posters, and old emails, all in different places.
Work Stops While You Search
While the answer is hunted down, the line waits. And too often the question simply goes unasked, and the guess gets made instead.
How an Annovox Agent Gets Built
Same philosophy as everything we make: AI speed, human-in-the-loop quality.
We Gather Your Knowledge
SOPs, Video SOPs, OEM manuals, safety and HR policies, quality documents, and the know-how of your veterans, brought together in one place.
We Build and Validate the Agent
The agent is grounded in your approved content only. Our team and your experts review its answers before your workers ever see them.
Your Team Just Asks
By voice or by text, on a phone, tablet, or shared terminal. Plain questions get plain answers, drawn from your own documentation.
What Your Team Can Ask
Example questions from the three areas an agent covers.
Machines
- →"What does this fault code mean and what do I check first?"
- →"What is the startup sequence after a weekend shutdown?"
- →"What are the torque specs for this fitting?"
Operations
- →"What is the changeover sequence for the next product run?"
- →"How do I log a quality hold on this batch?"
- →"What does good look like at this inspection step?"
Policies
- →"What PPE is required in the paint area?"
- →"What is the lockout tagout procedure for this press?"
- →"How do I report a near miss?"
Built So Your Team Can Trust the Answer
Your Content, Not the Internet
The agent answers only from documentation you approve. No guessing from the open web. If the answer is not in your content, it says so instead of making one up.
Human-in-the-Loop From Day One
Your experts and ours validate the knowledge behind the agent before launch, the same way every Annovox Video SOP is reviewed by a person before delivery.
Voice or Text, Gloves On or Off
Hands busy on the floor? Ask out loud and hear the answer back. At a desk or in a loud area? Type it. Same knowledge, same answer, either way.
Works With Your Video SOPs
Answers can point straight to the Video SOP or document that covers the full procedure, so a quick answer can become a complete walkthrough.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a plant-floor AI agent?
A plant-floor AI agent is an assistant your team can question by voice or text about machines, operations, and policies. Instead of searching binders, PDFs, or waiting for a supervisor, workers ask in plain language and get a clear answer drawn from your company's own approved documentation.
How is this different from ChatGPT or other public AI tools?
Public AI tools answer from the open internet and will guess when they do not know. Annovox agents are grounded in your SOPs, manuals, and policies only. When the answer is not in your approved content, the agent says so instead of inventing one.
Where do the answers come from?
From knowledge you already own: SOPs, Video SOPs, OEM manuals, safety and HR policies, quality documents, and the veteran know-how we help you capture. You control what goes in, and when your content is updated, the agent's answers update with it.
Can workers really use it by voice?
Yes. Voice matters on a plant floor where hands are busy and gloves stay on. Workers can ask a question out loud and get the answer read back, or switch to text when the environment is too loud or the question is easier to type.
What stops the agent from giving wrong answers?
Two things: grounding and review. The agent answers only from content you have approved, and our human-in-the-loop process validates the knowledge base with your experts before launch. The same review mindset we apply to every Video SOP applies here.
Do we need Video SOPs before we can use AI agents?
No. An agent can start from the documents you already have. That said, the two work well together: a Video SOP library gives the agent strong content to draw from, and the agent makes that library instantly searchable for everyone on the floor.
