In the world of engineering, innovation is the key to staying ahead. As we navigate the rapidly evolving technological landscape, AI tools are changing the way we work. To help facilities tackle industry challenges with confidence, the Equity Engineering Practices® (EEPs) has launched new AI capabilities, purpose-built for our subscribers.
Introducing Q, the AI chat feature that delivers instant and reliable answers, pulled directly from your corporate standards.
The Power of Q: AI at Your Fingertips
Imagine having a tool that can instantly comb through volumes of complex engineering documents to provide precise answers and recommendations. This is exactly what Q delivers. Designed for engineers at all stages of their careers, Q offers instant access to their company’s specific collections, thereby accelerating productivity and fostering innovation. An EEPs subscriber recently shared, “This new AI capability will set EEP users up for success and help us be more efficient when navigating through best practices or procedures.”
To better illustrate how Q can benefit your facility, let’s look at a couple use cases. If an engineer needs to identify the ideal material for a high-temperature shift converter, instead of spending hours sifting through a company’s collection of technical documents, he/she can simply ask Q. Within seconds, Q will scan hundreds of documents, deliver a response, and offer citations and recommendations in real time.
Another example is when a project manager needs to put together a specification for a third-party contractor. Simply ask Q for the requirements and it will quickly generate a specification report that can be given to the contractor. This will save time for both the project manager and the contractor in reading through the EPs to get what they need. This capability delivers quick answers and supports deeper dives into the documents for added clarity and insight.
Safeguarding Intellectual Property with Closed-Source AI
Amidst the rapid integration of AI, Equity recognizes the importance of protecting intellectual property. Many tools use an open-source AI approach which, although powerful, may inadvertently expose sensitive data to public domains. To counter this, we have developed Q as a closed-source AI model that is secure and only trained on your client-specific data. This methodology safeguards your proprietary information and adheres to your company’s security policies.
Multilingual Support and Customization
To support the growing number of international EEP subscribers, Q reads and responds to queries in any language. You can interact with Q in your preferred language and receive responses in the same language. The downloadable output report will include the full conversation in your preferred language with all citations and references provided in English. This invaluable feature is designed to improve understanding of your corporate standards, minimize language barriers, and facilitate smoother communications across the organization.
Additionally, Q is highly customizable to meet different subscriber levels and specific organizational needs, whether it involves integrating existing standards or harmonizing them with new practices. The sophistication of AI chat tools extends beyond simple query responses.
Pioneering the Future of the Equity Engineering Practices
Q is the beginning of a new era of engineering excellence and changing how engineering departments operate. This transformation will improve efficiency and help preserve corporate memory through seamless knowledge transfer. By facilitating rapid access to critical information, Q offers value to all levels of your organization, from subject matter experts (SMEs) to junior engineers. Adding the right type of AI technology into your facility will ensure that safety, risk management, and long-term reliability of equipment are prioritized, leading to improved economic outcomes and safer industrial environments.
As Equity continues this technology-forward path, deploying AI-driven solutions like Q unlocks the full potential of our intellectual assets, paving the way for smarter, faster, and more secure workflows. In an increasingly complex world, Q is not just a chat tool, it also reiterates our commitment to developing technology that is purpose-fit for your unique needs.
