FAQ

All you need is an excel sheet with your maintenance text comments or shift log comments. There is no IT-integration necessary. Copy your existing texts into an excel and use the upload function in the app. After a minute you have a finished pareto chart.

You can upload multiple texts per event too. Problem description and resolution do not need to be in separate fields. Our software will automatically detect the content and sort the statements accordingly.

There are two ways to try our solution first. There is the online demo and you can request a test report.

We provide an online demo where you can test the AI's ability to understand your maintenance texts. This online demo is not yet calibrated on your vocabulary and may miss some terms.

You can also request a test-report. Send us an excel with a few hundreds text lines and we run it through our engine and show a test-report. The test-report is great to preview the kind of savings you can get from your logs. Very often we find 15% downtime savings potential within the top 10 issues alone.

Peoplegeist is a great tool for your existing efficiency improvement process (continuous improvement, lean manager, factory planer, analysts,…). If you don’t have an established process for continuous improvement, it’s easiest to start small with a specific cell / team.

Identify a pilot team that has text-comments and issues that can be resolved within the team. You can use Peoplegeist to identify such a team by filtering for a cell and look at the leading issues in the analysis.

Once the team is comfortable solving team-internal topics, you can expand the usage to cross-team issues.

No. Data is rarely well managed if it wasn’t used. Low data quality is exactly the reason for using Peoplegeist.

Until data is used, the operators or system-teams have little motivation to improve documentation and data management.

Peoplegeist can find insights in sparse and low text-quality situation. Identity a pilot-team and apply Peoplegeist on the existing text-files.

Gain insights and generate usage on the text-comments. The operators are then motivated to document properly and IT-projects to improve data management have a real urgent need to progress.

Peoplegeist does not specialize in data collection but in the analysis. Text comments need to be digital already.

There are however no format requirements. An excel file is enough.

We also work with MES, connected worker apps, smart sheets, electronic shiftbooks, CMMS providers to collect text comments from the shopfloor.
