AI knowledge base for cable cars and mountain railwayswhen you are asked at the installation for the inspection report, rope record sheet and evacuation plan.

No. You keep the operating log as the operating rules require, and it stays in the drive room where it belongs. The knowledge base sits alongside it: what is in the records can be queried, and every answer comes with its source. Nothing is written into it, nothing is changed. Whether it helps you find last year’s entry more easily than leafing through, a demo with one scanned year will show.

Without a connection there is no answer — your instance runs on servers in Germany, not on the device in your pocket. In practice that means: what you need up there, you look up in the station with Wi-Fi and take it with you, as a printout or on screen. Where the stations have signal, it is not an issue; where it is missing, you clarify beforehand what has to go up with you. We say this up front instead of glossing over it.

Rights depend on roles and document types. For operating staff, the work instruction, the evacuation plan, the fault history of the installation and their own training records are usually enough; contracts, expert reports, personnel files and correspondence with the authority stay with the operations management. Seasonal staff get their own role; anyone who leaves after the season has it withdrawn.

That is where starting pays off most. Whole folders go into your records by upload; scanned paper without a text layer is processed with text recognition (OCR) in your instance — how well that works with your archive sheets, you check with one folder in a demo. The system suggests installation and date; a person confirms the document type. For converted installations it helps to keep the post-conversion state as a separate document type — then, at the next fault call, it is clearer which parameter list applies and which still belongs to the old control system.

It can compile what you hold for this installation and create a draft from it — a list with sources, as a PDF if you like: the current year’s main inspection, the open defects with proof of rectification, the latest rope documents, the record of the evacuation drill. If the system cannot find something, it goes in as a gap. You hand over the stack: the knowledge base sends nothing and reports nothing to any authority.
