Winner — Hamburg Industrial AI Hackathon 2026

Your machines have manuals.
Now they have minds.

Upload the OEM manual and CAD — fabrica builds an interactive cognitive 3D twin: failure modes, remaining useful life, guided repairs and shift control. Powered by local AI that never leaves your plant.

// The problem

Machine knowledge lives in heads,
binders and a retiring workforce.

Every unplanned stop is a scavenger hunt: which part, which page, which technician knows this machine? Meanwhile the one who really knows retires next spring.

📄

500-page PDF manuals

The answer exists — on page 347, in German, in a scan from 2009. Nobody opens it during a line stop.

avg. search time: 30+ min per incident
🧠

Tribal knowledge

"Ask Klaus, he knows the seal unit." Klaus is one person, one shift, one resignation letter away.

onboarding a technician: months
⏱️

Reactive maintenance

You learn the cross-seal jaws were dying when the line stops — at 2 a.m., mid-batch, parts not in stock.

downtime: 1000s of EUR per hour
"We don't digitize your documents.
We turn them into a colleague who never forgets — one who speaks 3D, predicts failures and walks your team through every repair."

// Platform

One twin. Five superpowers.

Everything your maintenance crew needs lives on the machine's cognitive twin — from the planning office to the tablet on the shop floor.

01 / BLUEPRINT STUDIO

The machine, X-rayed.

An interactive 3D twin where every component is clickable — health state, remaining useful life, failure modes and spare parts, side by side with the live process schematic.

  • Component-level health: critical / warning / watch / healthy
  • Remaining-useful-life predictions with confidence bands
  • FMEA failure modes extracted from the OEM manual
Blueprint Studio
02 / WHAT-IF SIMULATOR

Ask "what if" before the machine answers for you.

Drag temperature, load, speed and duty cycle away from spec — physics-informed models recompute every component's remaining life instantly.

  • Arrhenius & bearing-life models, recalculated live
  • See which component fails first under the new regime
  • Defer-maintenance scenarios with quantified risk
What-If Simulator
03 / FIELD SERVICE

Guided repairs, grounded in 3D.

Step-by-step work instructions on a tablet — every step spotlights the exact part in 3D, with torque specs, safety locks and assembly parameters at hand.

  • 3D part spotlight per repair step — no guessing
  • Critical assembly parameters with nominal bands
  • LOTO & safety steps embedded in the flow
Field Service
04 / OPERATOR CONTROL

Shift discipline, by design.

Center-line checks, 15-minute rounds, master control and changeover protocols — auto-derived from the twin, tracked with timestamps and compliance scoring.

  • Five shift-control disciplines out of the box
  • Per-check PPE, tools and verification parameters
  • Live compliance score and escalation timers
Operator Control
05 / MAINTENANCE AGENT

An AI engineer on every shift.

Ask in plain language — the agent queries the twin's RUL models, health rankings and FMEA records, then answers with sources. Every claim is traceable.

  • Tool-calling agent grounded in your machine's data
  • "What fails next?" answered with evidence, not vibes
  • Runs on local LLMs — air-gapped deployments welcome
Maintenance Agent

Every part. Named. Known.

Pull the machine apart with a slider — 74 components, each carrying its own health, history and playbook.

// How it works

Manual in. Mind out.

A document-to-twin pipeline with a human in the loop — and an AI stack that can run entirely inside your four walls.

📥

Ingest

OEM manual (PDF, scanned, German — fine) + CAD or photos of the machine.

🔍

Understand

Layout-aware parsing + multimodal AI reads drawings, tables and lube charts.

🧩

Structure

Components, failure modes, work instructions and spare parts — one validated schema.

👤

Review

Your expert approves every extracted fact. Provenance down to page and paragraph.

🤖

Cognitive twin

Interactive 3D + predictions + agent. Live on every tablet on the floor.

🔒

Air-gapped by design. The AI stack (Qwen-class local models via Ollama / vLLM) deploys on-premise — your manuals, drawings and telemetry never leave the plant. Cloud is an option, not a requirement.

// Proven in the field

One weekend. One manual.
One thinking machine.

Case — Vertical FFS bagging machine · Hamburg 2026

From a 500-page German OEM manual to a working cognitive twin — in a single hackathon weekend.

A real packaging machine, its real service manual and CAD. The pipeline extracted components, failure modes, work instructions and spare parts into one validated schema — then lit them up on an interactive 3D twin with a causal knowledge graph linking modules, PLC tags and fault history.

The jury's verdict: first place. The skeptical technicians' verdict mattered more — they kept clicking.

// Adoption path

Start without a single sensor.

No rip-and-replace, no 6-month OT integration project. The twin earns its keep from day one — and grows with you.

Tier 1 — Start here

Static twin

Manual + CAD become a cognitive 3D twin: knowledge access, guided repairs, shift control. Zero sensors required.

  • Interactive 3D with component intel
  • Work instructions & shift checklists
  • Maintenance agent over your docs
Tier 2 — Most popular

Connect your data

Batch exports from your existing SCADA / historian / CMMS light up trends and nominal bands — no live PLC connection needed.

  • Everything in Tier 1
  • Signal trends & out-of-band alerts
  • CMMS bridge — work orders live in your system
Tier 3 — Scale up

Live telemetry

Streaming telemetry and RUL models calibrated on your fleet's real failure history. Predictive maintenance, properly earned.

  • Everything in Tier 2
  • Live signals via open standards (MQTT)
  • Fleet-calibrated remaining-useful-life
// Enterprise-grade by default

Built to pass your IT review.
And your works council.

Mittelstand-ready from day one — because in DACH, the best product still loses to the one that clears procurement.

🔒

Data stays in your plant

Local LLM inference on your hardware. Source documents live in your tenant — we store only derived, structured data with page-level references.

🇪🇺

EU hosting, GDPR-native

Cloud option runs exclusively on EU infrastructure with standard AVV / data-processing agreements. No transatlantic surprises.

🤝

Works-council friendly

The twin monitors machines, not people. No individual performance tracking — and a ready-made Betriebsvereinbarung template in the pilot kit.

🔌

No lock-in, open standards

Full data export in documented formats, MQTT / Sparkplug B for telemetry, and work orders that live in your CMMS — not ours.

// Next step

Bring us your nastiest manual.

30 minutes, your machine, our pipeline. If the twin doesn't impress your most skeptical technician, we'll buy the coffee.
