Manufacturing Intelligence Platform

Manufacturing Knowledge Management
that's the brain of your plant

The platform that captures your plant's know-how — turning SOPs, troubleshooting notes, work orders, and sensor context into a living knowledge graph for every plant.

Transform Your Manufacturing Operations

Outcomes that directly impact your bottom line.

Reduce Time-to-Answer

Get instant answers to complex questions on the line with AI-powered search and contextual recommendations.

Preserve Technician Know-How

Capture and standardize the know-how of your best technicians so it stays in the business.

Make IoT Data Usable

Transform raw sensor data and historian information into actionable insights at the point of work.

Built for the floor, not the office

Every feature solves a real problem maintenance teams face daily.

SOP & Playbook Management

Versioned SOPs with change history, approvals, and rollout control. Local variants inherit from the standard so audits stay clean.

Faster audits, one source of truth

Troubleshooting Knowledge

Turn technician notes and shift logs into step-by-step playbooks with parameters and safety checks built in.

Higher first-time-fix rate

Parameters & Sensor Links

Connect asset parameters to live IoT data. Playbooks check real-time signals before recommending actions.

Decisions backed by docs and live data

AI-Powered Search

Ask a question, get an answer with citations to SOPs, work orders, and drawings. Results respect site and role permissions.

Sourced answers, not guesses

Multi-Plant Standardization

Share learnings across lines and sites while keeping local context. Best practices propagate automatically.

Consistency without rigidity

Integrations: Augment, Don't Replace

Dovient sits alongside ERP, MES, and CMMS — making them more useful at the point of work, with no rip-and-replace.

The challenge we solve

Your maintenance knowledge is scattered everywhere

Paper logbooks, Excel files, photos, ERP transactions, email threads, and filing cabinets. The knowledge exists — it's just spread across disconnected places. Dovient brings it into one searchable, AI-powered system.

How Dovient digitizes your scattered data

1

Bulk Upload

Upload scanned logbooks, Excel files, PDFs, photos, and Word documents. AI extracts and structures the data automatically.

2

System Connectors

Pre-built connectors pull data from SAP PM, Oracle EAM, MES, SCADA, and IoT platforms. Two-way sync keeps everything current.

3

AI Structuring

AI reads, classifies, and links data to equipment, failure modes, and procedures. Unstructured data becomes searchable knowledge.

4

Verify & Enrich

MissingDots identifies knowledge gaps and routes questions to your experienced technicians. Your knowledge base grows smarter daily.

Today, in most plants

  • ×Maintenance history in paper logbooks nobody reads
  • ×SOPs in filing cabinets, outdated by months
  • ×Know-how locked in a few veterans' heads
  • ×ERP data disconnected from daily operations
  • ×Photos lost in chat threads
  • ×New technicians shadow for 6+ months
  • ×Same failures repeat because past fixes are hard to find

With Dovient

  • Complete digital maintenance history per asset
  • Living SOPs, updated and version-controlled
  • Know-how captured in video and searchable docs
  • ERP, MES, and IoT data unified in one view
  • All evidence linked to work orders and assets
  • New technicians productive in weeks
  • AI finds past fixes and recommends solutions instantly

The real cost of scattered data

70%

of maintenance knowledge is undocumented

30%

of technician time spent searching for information

50%

of repeat failures trace to undiscovered past fixes

Production-Safe by Design

Built with manufacturing security and compliance requirements at the core.

Secure Deployment

Deploy in your tenant with role-based access and least privilege by default.

Data Protection

Mask PII and sensitive commercial information in retrieval and logs.

Audit Trail

Every AI response includes sources, timestamps, and artifacts.

Change Management

Full change history for SOPs, playbooks, and recommendations.

See how your knowledge becomes a living playbook

We'll show your data flowing end-to-end — from ingestion to answers with citations — and how it powers AI agents on the floor.

Why a Manufacturing Knowledge Hub Matters

A centralized knowledge hub reduces time-to-answer on the line, preserves technician know-how, and ensures that SOPs, playbooks, and parameters are versioned and trusted. When combined with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and permission-aware context, answers become accurate and auditable.

What should be in your hub

  • SOPs and playbooks with approvals and deltas
  • Troubleshooting notes linked to assets and parameters
  • Live sensor links for checks before actions
  • Context packs per site and line for relevant results

How it connects to AI agents

Agents use the hub for grounding: Work Order Assist cites procedures, Planner checks parameters and spare availability, and Performance Coach generates one-point lessons from real work orders.

Getting started

Begin with high-value SOPs and top failure modes. Use our AI agents to convert tacit knowledge into structured steps, and link assets from the Modules you deploy.

Tribal knowledge capture software for the factory floor

Dovient is tribal knowledge capture software built for manufacturing: it turns the undocumented expertise in veteran technicians' heads into searchable, structured playbooks. Capture happens in the flow of work — from work-order notes, shift handovers, and short videos — so factories keep their institutional knowledge as teams change.

FAQs

How do you ensure accuracy?
Every answer includes sources and timestamps from the hub.

Can we restrict access?
Yes, role-based controls and site-specific packs ensure correct scope.

What software helps factories capture tribal knowledge before key employees retire or leave?
A manufacturing knowledge management platform like Dovient captures tribal knowledge continuously from SOPs, troubleshooting notes, and short videos, so expertise is preserved and searchable before a retirement or resignation.

How can AI surface institutional knowledge that would otherwise be lost?
Dovient indexes scattered maintenance data and uses permission-aware AI search to surface the right past fix, procedure, or parameter at the point of work, including knowledge that was previously locked in one person's head.

What tools help reduce reliance on tribal knowledge during outages?
Structured playbooks with live parameter checks let any technician follow a veteran's troubleshooting steps during an outage, reducing dependence on whoever happens to be on shift.
