Using AI to Create Expertise
Turn scattered shift logs, documents, videos, and spreadsheets into Tasks, Field Cards, and Solutions with AI, in four stages.
Most factories already hold the knowledge they need, but it's scattered across paper, video, spreadsheets, and documents. AI turns those raw records into Tasks, Field Cards, and Solutions in four stages.
Follow these four stages in order:
- Gather and Digitize the Sources
- Consolidate into a Catalog
- Route Each Item to the Right Skill
- Generate and Upload
Gather and Digitize the Sources
Start by digitizing everything as it is.
| Source | What to do |
|---|---|
| Paper: shift logs, photocopied SOPs, checklists | Scan or photograph it, then read the handwriting into text. |
| Video: phone clips, training recordings | Transcribe it and pull out key frames. |
| Spreadsheets | Read the rows, and keep embedded photos attached to the right row. |
| Manuals and documents | Extract the text, tables, and figures. |
| Languages and slang | Keep the original wording, and terms like muela or gomera, alongside the translation. |
| Traceability | Give every fragment a source ID, date, line, and machine, so every claim can be traced back to where it came from. |
Consolidate into a Catalog
The AI turns hundreds of raw entries into a few hundred distinct topics. It:
- Groups repeated reports of the same fault across lines and shifts.
- Counts how often each cause and fix appears.
- Matches photos to the events they show.
- Builds a catalog of items, each with its supporting evidence.
Route Each Item to the Right Skill
| Skill | What it gets |
|---|---|
| Task skill | Work that needs a sequence, recorded results, sign-off, or a report: procedures, inspections, rounds, readings, parts selection, and courses. See Creating Tasks with Claude. |
| Field Card skill | Reference knowledge, photo-heavy fault diagnosis, and simple procedures: fault, procedure, atlas, alarm, settings, parts, and lockout cards. See Field Cards. |
| Solution skill | Short, text-only symptom-and-fix entries. See Solutions. |
Generate and Upload
Each skill:
- Applies its own format, and writes in English. When you ask for it, the skill also writes a version in the language of the source expertise.
- Tags every value taken from the logs as a field value to be confirmed.
- Flags anything the AI added rather than found in the sources.
- Uploads to the right InSkill copilot with the correct visibility, keywords, and metadata.
- Cross-links related content, so a Fault Card points to the Task that fixes it, and a Solution points to the Atlas Card that shows the part.
