The 2 AM Alarm Scenario
It's 2 AM. An alarm goes off on Line 3. Your night-shift operator knows something's wrong—but finding the answer is a nightmare.
The Traditional Way (60+ Minutes Wasted)
Log into SharePoint
Password reset needed (haven't logged in since last month). Wait for IT support? Try to remember the override code? 5-10 minutes wasted.
Search 300+ PDF files
Files named "Line3_Proc_v2_FINAL_FINAL.pdf" and "Troubleshooting_OLD_DO_NOT_USE.pdf". Which one is current? 15-20 minutes wasted.
Check if procedure is outdated
Document says "Last updated: March 2019." Has the equipment been modified since? No one knows. 10 minutes wasted.
Call the day-shift supervisor at home
"Yeah, that alarm... check the pressure gauge near the inlet valve. If it's below 75 PSI, there's a bypass procedure in... uh... some binder in the office."20 minutes wasted.
Find the physical binder, start troubleshooting
Finally found the procedure. But now you're 60+ minutes into downtime. £10,000-£50,000 in lost production.

Fragmented Systems
CMMS, SCADA, SharePoint, email, paper logs—knowledge scattered across 5+ systems. No unified view.
Tribal Knowledge
Critical info lives in experienced technicians' heads. When they're off-shift or retiring, that knowledge disappears.
No Context
Even when you find the SOP, you don't know: Was this equipment modified? What happened last time this alarm went off?

Ottovis Answer
Query: "Line 3 pressure alarm"
Answer (95% confidence):
Line 3 pressure alarm indicates inlet pressure below threshold (75 PSI). Check:
- Pressure gauge at inlet valve (target: 80-90 PSI)
- Upstream filter (clogging possible if drop >5 PSI/hr)
- Bypass valve position (should be fully closed)
📄 Source: Line3_SOP_Section4.2 (updated Nov 2024)
📊 Recent: Work Order #45821 (similar issue, resolved)
📈 Current reading: 72 PSI (trending down since 01:45)

Completely Different Outcome
See how a UK food & beverage plant transformed their night-shift response with Ottovis in Week 4 of their pilot.
Before Ottovis
72 minutes downtime02:14 AM - Alarm triggers
Line 3 high-speed packaging line stops. Pressure alarm P-301.
02:18 AM - Operator starts searching
Logs into SharePoint, searches for "P-301 alarm". Gets 47 results, most irrelevant.
02:35 AM - Calls supervisor at home
"Check the pressure sensor... might be the filter upstream... or maybe the valve seal..."
02:52 AM - Finds correct procedure in binder
Finally locates physical SOP binder in maintenance office. Begins troubleshooting.
03:26 AM - Line restored
Issue: clogged filter. Simple fix, but took 72 minutes to diagnose.
£18,000 in lost production + supervisor woken up
After Ottovis (Week 4 of Pilot)
12 minutes downtime02:14 AM - Alarm triggers
Same line, same alarm: P-301 pressure fault.
02:15 AM - Operator queries Ottovis
Types: "P-301 alarm on Line 3, what do I check first?"
Ottovis (30 seconds): P-301 alarm indicates inlet pressure drop. Check filter F-12 (typical cause per Work Order #45821 last month). If pressure gauge shows <70 PSI, replace filter per SOP 4.2.3.
📄 Source: Line3_SOP_4.2.3 | 📊 Recent: WO#45821 (similar issue) | 📈 Current: 68 PSI
02:17 AM - Operator checks filter
Filter F-12 is clogged. Grabs spare from maintenance cage (location also in Ottovis).
02:26 AM - Line restored
Issue resolved. Operator logs replacement in CMMS. No supervisor call needed.

What Can You
Ask Ottovis?
From troubleshooting to procedures to specifications—ask in plain language, get complete answers with source citations.
"Line 3 pressure alarm P-301—what do I check first?"
P-301 alarm indicates inlet pressure below 75 PSI. Check: (1) Pressure gauge at inlet valve, (2) Filter F-12 for clogging, (3) Bypass valve position.
"Conveyor belt keeps slipping after tension adjustment—why?"
Persistent slipping after tension adjustment typically indicates worn drive pulleys or contaminated belt surface. Inspect pulleys for wear grooves.
"Motor M-14 tripping on overload—possible causes?"
M-14 overload trips can be caused by: (1) Bearing failure (check for noise/heat), (2) Misaligned coupling, (3) Process overload. Check amp draw vs nameplate.
