Consult your manuals with AI: the smart evolution of technical documentation
In GMP-regulated pharmaceutical production environments, access to validated information must be instantaneous: a consultation error on a sterile packaging line is not just a cost, but a compliance risk that no operator can afford to take.
In the field of industrial machinery production and maintenance, quick and accurate access to technical documentation is crucial. However, traditional PDF manuals come with several limitations: they are static, often outdated, difficult to consult under pressure, and time-consuming to read and understand—especially when field operators are not fluent in the language in which they are written.
In this context, Sophia, the AI module developed by Acty, offers a real breakthrough: it enables intelligent consultation of technical manuals simply by uploading the PDF files, with no need to review or adapt them.

Interactive manuals always up to date thanks to Artificial Intelligence
In the Pharma sector, document management is critical: any technical change to a filling plant requires the immediate update of validated procedures. Thanks to Sophia’s centralized updates, new instructions can be made available in real-time globally, eliminating risks associated with the circulation of obsolete paper manuals that do not comply with safety protocols.
Today, thanks to Sophia, you can just upload a single new PDF into the system: the AI automatically indexes it, transforming it into a searchable, always up-to-date source that evolves alongside the product. Each operator can directly query the system, in natural language and in their own language, to obtain exactly the information they need, when they need it.
Reduce consultation time
In the real-world context of on-site maintenance, every minute matters. A technician may be in a plant facing a stopped machine, with production halted and the urgent need to find the correct procedure to reset a PLC error.
Without AI, they would have to consult the PDF index—often in technical English—hoping to find the right paragraph.
With Sophia, it’s enough to speak or type a question in their own language, for example: “¿Cómo reiniciar la alarma E74 en este modelo?” and the system immediately returns the exact passage from the manual, along with any associated images or videos.
This approach not only drastically reduces intervention time but also minimizes the risk of human error.

Optimize access to technical information with AI
One of Sophia’s most tangible advantages is its ease of adoption. Companies don’t need to rewrite or adapt their manuals—just upload them into the system. Sophia takes care of the rest. Sophia guarantees maximum data integrity by responding exclusively based on the technical manuals uploaded and validated by the company. This “closed-domain” approach eliminates the risk of AI “hallucinations”, ensuring precise answers that comply with regulatory standards. Furthermore, every interaction is tracked, offering full visibility into the procedures consulted by operators for audits and quality control.
The system can even understand questions phrased in non-technical terms or by non-native speakers, thanks to its integration with real-time voice translation in over 120 languages. This is especially useful for companies employing international staff, both on-site and abroad.
Consulting manuals through AI with Acty and Sophia is not just a technological upgrade—it’s a radical transformation in how technical knowledge is accessed and used, turning corporate documentation into an operational and competitive asset.
