Bringing Industrial AI
To Every Factory Floor
We're building the maintenance-first O&M co-pilot that gives operators instant, source-linked answers—without sending data to the cloud.

Why Ottovis Exists
The story behind our mission to eliminate wasted hours on the factory floor.
The Problem We Witnessed
While working with manufacturing facilities across the UK, we kept seeing the same pattern: highly skilled operators and technicians spending 30-40% of their time searching for information instead of fixing problems.
An alarm goes off at 2 AM. The operator knows something is wrong, but finding the right SOP means logging into three different systems, searching outdated SharePoint folders, and sometimes calling the day-shift supervisor at home. By the time they find the procedure, production has been down for an hour.
£80B Lost Annually
UK/EU manufacturers lose billions to unplanned downtime every year
Fragmented Systems
CMMS, SCADA, SharePoint, paper logs—knowledge scattered everywhere
Retiring Expertise
Experienced technicians leaving, taking tribal knowledge with them
4-Hour Average
Typical downtime incident duration—most time wasted on diagnosis
Our Answer
What if operators could ask a question in plain language and get an answer in seconds—complete with the source document, relevant sensor data, and maintenance history—without logging into multiple systems?
That'sOttovis. A maintenance-first AI co-pilot that assembles the right context at the right time, runs behind your firewall, and proves value in 8-12 weeks.
