OAK -- Onboarding with Actionable Knowledge

Abstract

The loss of knowledge when skilled operators leave poses a critical issue for companies. This know-how is diverse and unstructured. We propose a novel method that combines knowledge graph embeddings and multi-modal interfaces to collect and retrieve expertise, making it actionable. Our approach supports decision-making on the shop floor. Additionally, we leverage LLMs to improve query understanding and provide adapted answers. As application case studies, we developed a proof-of-concept for quality control in high precision manufacturing.
