Use Case — Manufacturing
SOPs, technical manuals, quality records, and maintenance logs carry the operational intelligence of every manufacturing facility. When workers can't find them fast, production slows, errors compound, and experience walks out the door. Maqno puts that knowledge at your team's fingertips — privately, on your infrastructure.
The challenge
SOPs, maintenance manuals, and quality inspection records are stored in file cabinets, shared drives, and outdated DMS platforms that workers cannot effectively search. The right procedure is often found too late — or not at all.
A senior technician's decade of troubleshooting knowledge exists in their head, not in any system. When they retire or change roles, new workers rediscover the same problems from scratch — at the cost of downtime.
ISO certifications, safety data sheets, regulatory filings, and quality audit records are voluminous and poorly cross-referenced. Finding the right version of the right document under audit pressure is a recurring pain.
When equipment fails, workers spend valuable time searching for the relevant manual, maintenance history, and prior incident reports — all in different systems. Every minute of search is a minute of downtime.
How Maqno responds
Connect SOPs, maintenance manuals, and equipment documentation. Workers ask in plain language — "what is the calibration procedure for line 3 press unit?" — and get the exact procedure with source citation.
Proprietary manufacturing processes, supplier contracts, and quality data never leave your facility network. Maqno deploys entirely on your infrastructure — no external AI access, no data leakage risk.
Organise compliance documents, quality records, and regulatory filings in a searchable knowledge base. Auditors and QA teams locate the right document version instantly — with a full access log.
Connect maintenance logs and incident reports. Ask "what were the last three failure modes on this machine?" and get a sourced timeline — accelerating root cause analysis and reducing repeat failures.
Real workflows
Outgoing shift leads ask Maqno to summarise open maintenance tickets, recent quality flags, and any procedural updates for the line. Incoming shift starts informed, not guessing.
A technician describes the fault symptom in plain language. Maqno surfaces the relevant SOP, prior maintenance reports for that machine, and any similar incidents logged across the facility.
New workers access all relevant SOPs, safety instructions, and training materials for their station from day one. Questions get cited answers from the official documentation — not word of mouth.
QA teams ask Maqno to locate all inspection records, non-conformance reports, and corrective action documents for a given product line or audit period. Preparation time drops from days to hours.
The impact
Faster retrieval of SOPs and technical procedures on the floor
Reduction in time-to-resolution for equipment incidents
Proprietary process data sent to external AI services
New operators access full facility knowledge from onboarding
