CNC Copilot for Industrial Machines

Troubleshooting becomes more focused, priorities sharper, and documentation happens naturally in the flow of work. The result: less time deciphering data under pressure and more time fixing what really matters.

Built directly into the IPercept Portal, CNC Copilot is designed for real factory conditions-tight schedules, shift changes, different skill levels, and high stakes when a line goes down. It helps teams stay aligned, avoid repeating the same discussions, and build a shared understanding of machine behavior that strengthens from shift to shift.

What CNC Copilot Does

At its core, CNC Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that sits inside the IPercept Portal. It works with live machine data and trusted knowledge sources, understanding the machines, timeframes, and indicators already on screen. From that context, it delivers clear explanations, meaningful priorities, and practical next steps-without the need to rebuild the story from scratch.

The system draws from multiple inputs: machine health and degradation indicators, vibration and trend data, alarms, collision events, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and verified manuals or procedures. Together, these feed a single, technically grounded explanation in plain language. Instead of reading complex plots under pressure, teams can understand what’s happening and act on it-within seconds.

Putting It to Work

In practice, CNC Copilot mirrors how decisions actually happen on the shop floor. Teams use it to pinpoint what’s changed since yesterday, identify which machine needs attention first, and plan checks that minimize downtime. It helps narrow focus fast so effort goes where it makes the biggest difference.

As teams work, CNC Copilot captures their reasoning and conclusions in real time. The next shift or manager can pick up exactly where the last left off-no context lost, no repeated investigations. Knowledge stays with the machine and the event, not just with the person on duty.

Because Copilot operates within the existing IPercept Portal, there’s no switching between tools or jumping through disconnected systems. Observation, explanation, decision, and documentation all happen in one continuous flow, cutting friction and shortening troubleshooting cycles across the organization.

Scaling Expertise

In most plants, reliability still depends on a handful of seasoned experts. CNC Copilot helps spread their know-how across teams by making reasoning transparent and reusable. Investigations turn into structured checklists and repeatable procedures. Explanations adjust for different roles-technician, engineer, or manager-while staying technically exact. Everything stays grounded in verified knowledge sources rather than generic, unverified input.

Over time, this builds a shared maintenance language across sites. New hires ramp up faster, recurring mistakes drop off, and root cause analyses become clearer and more consistent. Good decisions stop being isolated moments they turn into a system of continuous learning.

Integrated by Design

CNC Copilot isn’t another platform to log into; it lives fully inside the IPercept Portal. It knows the machines in focus, the relevant timeframes, and the events behind a detected change. This tight integration means teams can move smoothly from data to decisions without ever losing context.

Crucially, CNC Copilot supports people-it doesn’t replace them. By reducing cognitive load and routine friction, it lets professionals focus on the high-value part of the job: solving complex problems, learning from each case, and improving reliability in the long run.

From Insight to Results

Connecting machine data, knowledge, and decisions has measurable effects. Fault isolation becomes faster. Documentation takes less time. Root cause analyses grow more consistent, and recurring failures are easier to prevent. Coordination between production and maintenance also improves as decisions become easier to explain and review.

When reasoning and results are captured in every workflow, improvements stop slipping through the cracks they accumulate naturally. CNC Copilot makes daily work clearer, more consistent, and easier to build upon.

That’s the CNC Copilot advantage.
