The collaboration is set to highlight "superior" levels of scalability, performance, and control for XR ready businesses
The promise of AI for operations, such as predictive maintenance, performance feedback, and digital twins, is compelling. But many organizations are finding that their AI efforts are stalling before they even start. Why? Because AI can’t thrive on chaos.
“The AI revolution won’t happen at HQ. It’ll happen on the factory floor, in the motor pool, and on the flight line. But only if we stop skipping steps.”

The Data Gap: Why Your Frontline AI Project is Failing
Many organizations are racing to adopt AI but are overlooking the most critical ingredient: a solid data foundation. Frontline AI without data is merely “theater”.
The real data gap isn’t in big data centers; it’s right on the shop floor:
- SOPs are Undocumented: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are often tribal knowledge, undocumented, or unstructured.
- Artifacts vs. Data: Many teams mistakenly believe that PDFs and screenshots count as data. They are just artifacts. AI requires labeled, consistent, step-level data captured where the work actually happens.
- The Critical Missing Context: AI needs to understand the who, which asset/line, shift, location, and conditions of an operation to be effective.
Don’t let your AI project fail before it even starts.
The Path to Effective Frontline AI: Capture, Structure, Execute
We provide a direct, three-step path to build the structured data foundation that unlocks real AI value for your frontline workforce:
- Capture: The Expert
A mechanic records a quick video of a machine repair, or an operator takes photos of a machine setup. That’s your starting data. (Unstructured Videos, Photos, PDFs, and Notes).
- Structure: Maker (Our Free App)
AI transforms that raw content into clear, consistent, step-by-step instructions, creating the structured data you need. (Structured Digital Procedures and a Baseline Data Set).
- Execute & Learn: Manifest (Our Solution)
Manifest guides work, captures results, and provides the operational data to power AI and continuous improvement. (A Rich Operational Data Set to Power AI and Continuous Improvement).
This process not only feeds your AI models but also empowers your workforce with clear training & guidance and turns their expertise into a living, learning asset for the entire organization.
The Essential Elements of Structured Data for AI
To be truly useful, the data captured in your digital work instructions must be fully structured. This is what AI needs to learn from:
- Step IDs & Order: Each action uniquely labeled and sequenced.
- Prerequisites & Tools: Required skills, PPE, parts, and technical specs (like torque specs).
- Media Bundled to Steps: Photo/video “what good looks like” are directly tied to the specific step.
- Traceability: Approvals, sign-offs, and an audit trail.
- Performance Metrics: Captured data like Duration & timestamps (where time actually goes) and Pass/fail + reason (captures variance, rework, and learning).
- Exceptions & Variants: Alternate paths for old vs. new machines.
The use of digital work instructions that are trackable generates an operational data set which AI can use, driving continuous improvement and a more effective and efficient workforce.
