The problem
01 · Tribal knowledge
70%
of maintenance knowledge is tribal
Never written down, never formally taught, at risk of being permanently lost when the person holding it leaves.
Source · Dirac
02 · Workforce
3.8M
new manufacturing workers needed by 2033
Every one who retires takes decades of knowledge with them, knowledge that was never written down.

03 · Downtime
$1.4T
lost to unplanned downtime every year
Every breakdown without a known fix compounds that cost.

How it works
Every plant troubleshoots alone. Acervas connects the ones running the same machines, so a fault solved once is solved for everyone.
01 · Capture
One in four manufacturing workers is over 55, and their fixes leave with them. A 30-second voice note after the repair files the fix under the machine’s make and model, so the answer stays when the person who knew it goes.
“Lane 3 diverter was jamming after the format change. Re-squared the divider and torqued the bolts. Watch it after changeovers.”
Saved · Next shift notified
02 · Diagnose
Most of a two-hour repair is spent working out what’s wrong. Ask in plain English and get the likely cause first, cited to your own history, the OEM manual page and fixes from other plants on the same machine.
Lane diverter keeps jamming
03 · Prevent
Failure rates are measured across the fleet. When a fault keeps coming back and nothing is scheduled against it, the maintenance planner gets told before it stops the line again.

3 failures in 90 days and nothing scheduled against it. Seen on 2 machines at 1 other company.

The network effect
An engineer in Sydney diagnoses a recurring fault on a packaging line. That fix is instantly searchable by any engineer running the same machine, before they ever hit the same fault.
The more plants running the machines you run, the smarter every search becomes. That’s the network effect, and your first plant taps into it for free.
Fixes travel at the machine level, never the plant level. The system can’t surface who logged a fix, only what fixed it. Your data stays walled off; the knowledge travels.
Features
01 · Fault Resolution
Fix it once, know it everywhere: every fault, fix and workaround, searchable across plants.

The worksheet where Occurrence is measured from the fleet, not guessed.

03 · Shift Handover
Handovers that reach the oncoming crew, pushed to their phones before they walk in.

Instant recall
Your work orders, manuals and SOPs: every machine, every plant you run. And the fixes reach further: anonymised across every plant on the network running the same kit, not just your own sites.
Your CMMS stays the system of record. Acervas syncs your asset and work-order history in, then layers on the knowledge it never surfaces: the 2am fix, the workaround, the handover.
Load your manuals and SOPs once. Ask about any procedure and Acervas takes you straight to the page that answers it: no binders, no folder digging.
An engineer somewhere on the network has already beaten this fault on the same machine. Their fix is one search away, anonymised, with no plant name attached. Not just your own sites: every plant running your kit.

Pricing
Stage 1 · Baseline
We get you set up within 15 business days, with read-only access to your maintenance records and a downtime baseline agreed with your finance team. If the fault history won’t support a result, we say so and stop.
Stage 2 · Pilot
Live on the covered equipment, unlimited users, on-site onboarding. We track adoption, answers reused, and downtime against the baseline.
Stage 3 · Annual licence
Counted across all plants together. No seats, no per-plant minimum.

No seats
Unlimited users on every plan. Getting more of your team on it never costs more.
Baseline before, measure after
The downtime number is agreed with your finance team before anything is invoiced.
Counted across all plants
Lines are totalled across your whole group, so the rate per line falls as you add plants.
FAQ
Your data
No. Your plant’s data is walled off: nobody outside your organisation can see it. What travels the network is the fix for a machine, anonymised by design. Like an OEM technician carrying a fix between sites, except you’re not waiting for one person to happen to visit. Fixes live at the machine level, never the plant level.
You’re not giving them away: you’re trading fixes you’ve already paid for to get access to hundreds you haven’t. Other plants have burned the same months on the same kit. The maths only works against you if you assume you’re the only plant that’s ever solved anything.
It’s not a setting we promise to leave on: the system can’t surface the source. Cross-network reads strip identity at the query boundary, enforced at the database layer. Your own plant’s raw knowledge stays isolated to your team.
“Why not just…”
It records what happened at your plant. It can’t reach the other plants running your machines who already solved tonight’s fault. Acervas sits on top of your CMMS; it doesn’t replace it.
The single-plant version, sure: a tidy logbook. What you can’t build is the cross-plant network: it only works if it’s neutral and runs across companies. A competitor won’t post their fixes into your SharePoint.
An OEM only covers their own kit: your line is multi-OEM. They can’t share another customer’s fixes. And the 2am fix your technician did without calling them? They never hear about it.
Your team
Acervas was built by an engineer who spent 18 years on the tools. A fix is 15 seconds of voice, no forms, no typing. Our rule for every feature: if a tired fitter wouldn’t do it without being told, we don’t ship it.
English today; multilingual is on the roadmap, no firm date, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Even now, talking beats writing: that’s why the shift sheet’s blank.
Not blindly, and they shouldn’t. A shared fix is a head start, not an order: it turns a four-hour cold troubleshoot into “check the seal first.” Verification stays with your team.
Pricing & risk
Nothing until it has proven itself. Stage one is free setup: we get you set up within 15 business days, with read-only access to your maintenance records and a downtime baseline agreed with your finance team. Stage two is a free 90-day pilot on the covered equipment, unlimited users, no obligation. After that it’s an annual licence priced per production line and counted across all your plants together: $6,000 USD a line a year for your first three lines, stepping down to $1,500 a line beyond thirty. No seats, no per-plant minimum.
We’re early. Design-partner plants are live on it now. You don’t start with a blank page either: we bring in your CMMS history, manuals, and parts catalogues, so your plant’s own brain is full from day one.
Three honest answers. Your 90-day pilot is free, so there’s no budget at risk while you prove it. Your data is yours and exportable. If we vanish, you walk out with everything you put in. And yes, we’re early: that’s exactly why we de-risk it this way.
Tell us about your plants. We'll onboard your first one free for 90 days: your engineers are capturing knowledge inside a week.
