Project Overview

A European automotive spare parts manufacturer with over 1,000 employees across five production facilities struggled to find important information stored in different formats—technical drawings, videos, photos, and manuals.

The Challenge

Engineers spent too much time searching through scattered documentation, leading to delays, quality issues, and safety concerns.

  • Engineers spent excessive time searching through scattered PDFs, CAD files, and training materials across different systems
  • Production teams couldn't easily find the right diagrams for equipment maintenance
  • New employees struggled with mixed training formats and inconsistent onboarding
  • Quality issues occurred from teams using outdated technical information

Our Solution

Softblues built KnowCore AI—an intelligent knowledge platform that searches all content types instantly, gives workers immediate access to the right information, and provides smart suggestions with visual guides for faster, safer production.

  • Unified search across all file types: PDFs, CAD drawings, videos, photos, and manuals
  • AI-powered technical assistant that answers questions with visual diagrams and charts
  • Team management with department-based access control and usage analytics
  • Chat history tracking with resolution rates for continuous improvement
