The Nova solution
Stop losing hours to documentation search
The problem
Critical knowledge is buried across PDFs, videos and tribal know-how.
With Nova
Ask in plain language — Nova searches your entire knowledge base instantly.
The problem
Technicians waste 3–5 hours per week hunting for procedures during downtime.
With Nova
Every answer includes exact citations — page, section, and video timestamp.
The problem
Creating new SOPs takes days, delaying training and compliance.
With Nova
Generate audit-ready procedures in minutes, not days — straight from your docs.
How it works
From question to procedure in four steps
Turn scattered documentation into instant operational guidance — no data-science team required.
Connect your knowledge base
Upload manuals, SOPs, training videos and technical documents. Nova indexes everything automatically — including footage captured on a phone or smart glasses via VSight VideoFlow.
Ask in plain language
Type a real question — "torque specs for Line 3 mixer bearing replacement" or "startup sequence for heat exchanger HX-204" — exactly how a technician would say it on the floor.
Get cited answers
Nova returns a direct answer with exact source references, so the technician can trust it and verify it. Designed to minimize hallucinations — every claim links back to a document.
Turn it into a procedure
Convert any answer into an executable checklist with safety steps, parts lists and quality gates — then export to SAP, Maximo or Fiix. Audit-ready in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is VSight Nova?
VSight Nova is an industrial AI copilot for maintenance and operations teams. It turns your existing manuals, SOPs, technical documentation, workflows and videos into instant, source-cited answers — and can convert those answers into step-by-step procedures. Instead of searching through PDFs and tribal knowledge, technicians ask a question in plain language and get a trustworthy answer that links back to the exact source.
Who is Nova designed for?
Nova is built for maintenance engineers, field service technicians, production and operations managers, and OEM service teams. It helps frontline workers troubleshoot faster, new hires onboard sooner, and managers standardize how work is done across shifts and sites.
Which content sources can Nova use?
Nova works from the documentation you already have: machine manuals (PDF), technical documentation, work instructions and SOPs, VSight VideoFlow recordings, workflows and process documents, and ticket or service history. It indexes all of it so answers can draw on your complete knowledge base.
How does Nova answer technical questions?
You ask a question in plain language — for example, "what are the lockout steps before servicing the conveyor belt motor?" Nova searches your indexed documents and returns a direct answer with exact citations (page, section or video timestamp). Because every claim links back to a source, it is designed to minimize hallucinations and let technicians verify the answer.
Can Nova generate procedures and checklists?
Yes. Any answer can be converted into an executable procedure with safety steps, parts lists, quality checks and sign-offs. Procedures are audit-ready and can be exported to CMMS/EAM systems such as SAP, IBM Maximo and Fiix — turning days of SOP authoring into minutes.
Does Nova work in languages other than English?
Yes. Nova supports multilingual operations across 40+ language pairs. A technician can ask a question in their own language and get an answer drawn from documents written in another language — useful for global teams, multi-site operations and mixed-language shifts.
Can Nova integrate with our existing systems?
Nova connects to the tools your team already uses with no workflow changes: CMMS/EAM (SAP, IBM Maximo, Fiix), SSO and identity (Azure Active Directory, Okta, Google Workspace), and document repositories (SharePoint, Box, Google Drive and on-premise file systems).
Is my data safe with Nova?
Nova is built for highly regulated, security-conscious industrial environments. It uses ISO 27001-certified infrastructure and a GDPR-aligned architecture with full audit trails and role-based access control. Your customer documentation is never used for public model training, and data export options mean no vendor lock-in.
