Pairio is an AI assistant for industrial maintenance teams. In a plastics plant, technicians use it to search the documentation for the machine, the mould and the equipment around them, to record what they did by voice, photo or video, and to look up what was done the last time the same fault appeared.
For maintenance teams in injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding, including setters, industrial mechanics, electricians and the people who plan their work.
What makes plastics manufacturing different?
Documentation exists in almost every plastics plant. What is usually missing is the connection between the manual, the specific tool and what a colleague actually did about the problem eight months ago.
The same tool comes back months later, often on a different machine with different cooling connections and a different robot programme. What happened to it last campaign matters more than the machine number on the work order.
Hot-runner controllers, temperature control units, dryers, chillers, granulators, material feed and handling all sit on the list of suspects — and their manuals sit in a different folder from the machine documentation.
A two-minute intervention at the same station does not feel like a job worth writing up. Three shifts later it is a pattern, and there is nothing written down to reconstruct it from.
Experience with a specific tool tends to live with one or two people. When they are on another shift or on holiday, the rest of the team starts the investigation from the beginning.
How Pairio helps - Side by Side
Four situations most plastics maintenance teams recognise and how Pairio helps in each one.
01 On the shop floor
You know the tool. You do not know what was done to it the last time this happened.
With Pairio
Ask using the machine, the mould, the affected zone and the symptom. Pairio searches the available technical documentation and delivers an answer with the relevant references.
02 On the shop floor
Nobody can say whether this is new behaviour or something the plant has lived with for two years.
With Pairio
Ask what has already been recorded for this machine and tool. Pairio uncovers patterns and optimisation potential in your historical maintenance cases.
03 On the shop floor
The details you needed at the start are exactly the ones that get left out under time pressure.
With Pairio
Speak what you found and add a photo or a short video. Pairio brings together the issue, the actions taken and the spare parts used in a structured report.
The next shift reads the work instead of a one-line note.
04 On the shop floor
Explaining it takes longer than doing it, so it keeps being done by the same two people.
With Pairio
Have the task demonstrated once and recorded with smart glasses. Pairio automatically creates work instructions or an interactive training video from it.
An explanation colleagues can revisit when the experienced setter is not on shift.
Before you get started
Pairio searches the technical documentation made available to it and helps teams use recorded repair experience. For a plastics plant, this can include information about the machine, the mould and the peripheral equipment. Your team checks each reference against the installed configuration before acting.
Pairio offers integrations with common ERP and document management systems. The available sources, connections and reporting workflow are discussed with your team, so you can establish how Pairio would fit into your existing maintenance setup.
