Konecranes has introduced an AI-powered assistant for its Konecranes Portal, designed to assist industrial service and equipment customers in identifying equipment and service requirements. Konecranes Portal serves as a comprehensive resource for crane maintenance data, asset information, spare parts, and more. The new Portal AI Assistant allows users to efficiently locate and connect equipment and service insights, including sensor readings, inspection results, and technician remarks, alongside suggestions from the Konecranes Lifecycle Engine.

This engine aids in pinpointing lifecycle requirements and planning services based on factors like equipment type, operating conditions, duty cycles, usage patterns, service histories, regulatory compliance, OEM guidance, and Konecranes' expertise. "The portal already contains a wealth of information on equipment and services," comments Johannes Grönroos, Head of Konecranes Customer Portals.

"The AI Assistant helps customers pinpoint what is most important, enabling better decisions regarding maintenance and lifecycle strategies." Users can now quickly identify assets with pending risks across various locations, examine pertinent findings, examine recommended actions, and compare service expenditures across different assets or locations.

The assistant supports multilingual queries, ensuring a seamless experience for a diverse clientele. Konecranes assures that the AI Assistant adheres to rigorous security protocols, data privacy measures, and traceability standards. It operates within the same security framework as the Konecranes Portal, ensuring users only access information they are authorized to view.

Customer data remains strictly isolated and is not utilized for AI model training. Information is sourced directly from predefined backend systems, and answers are traceable back to the customer's original records, allowing users to verify details directly within the Konecranes Portal.
