Manufacturing and Sales Approval Checker
Manufacturing inspection checker
What does this service do?
This service uses AI to cross-reference manufacturing and sales approval documents with product specifications, SOPs, manufacturing instructions, test procedures, etc., line by line, and suggests relevant sections.
AI assists with "exploration," while humans make "decisions," thereby streamlining and standardizing inspection tasks.
Can AI even determine whether there are discrepancies?
no.
The AI is responsible for "finding the relevant section" and "suggesting similar sentences."
The final "discrepancy judgment," "GMP judgment," and "GQP judgment" are always performed by a person.
Is it a generative AI like ChatGPT?
This is not a generating AI.
This is a text matching AI that compares the meaning of different sentences and finds similarities.
Therefore, this is not a service that generates answers.
What kinds of documents can be compared?
The document will look like this:
Marketing Authorization / Product Standard / SOP / Manufacturing Instructions / Test Procedures / Test Standards / MF / Official Compendium
Can it be used with Word and Excel?
Currently, we are focusing on PDF files.
Word and Excel files should be converted to PDF format for use. It is recommended that the PDF include text information.
Can I use scanned PDFs?
PDFs containing only images and PDFs processed with OCR do not provide sufficient accuracy.
We recommend using a PDF that retains the text information.
How accurate is the AI?
Even if the wording of the sentences differs, we will suggest sentences that are semantically similar.
However, this does not guarantee a 100% match.
Therefore, multiple options are presented, and a person makes the final decision.
Can AI make mistakes?
there is.
Therefore, rather than saying "the AI will make the decision"
The system will operate with "AI searching, and humans making the decisions."
Can it be used when revising documents?
yes.
It is possible to perform an operation that only reconfirms the changed parts.
Since the results of the previous comparison are carried over, only the revised parts can be viewed.
Can I leave a comment?
Yes, it is possible.
You can add comments explaining the reasoning and basis for your decisions, linking them to each matching result, and record them for future reference.
If AI exists, will humans become unnecessary?
no.
This is a tool that supports people's decision-making.
Ultimate responsibility for quality assurance will remain with people, as before.
Can you handle matters that only experienced professionals can judge?
The AI only provides suggestions.
Because veterans' reasoning can be accumulated as comments, it helps eliminate reliance on individual expertise and is also useful for training.
How much time can be saved?
The actual effect will depend on the specific task.
You will perform actual measurements using a proof-of-concept (PoC).
In past beta tests, we have seen cases where work time was reduced by approximately 40-60%.
Where is the most effective place?
The most effective method is "time spent searching."
This allows people to focus on making the "final decision."
Is the revised version more effective than the initial version?
yes.
During revisions, only the differences will be checked, making it even more effective.
What kind of company is this suitable for?
This is particularly suitable for the following companies.
- There are many items.
- There are multiple factories.
- The burden of reviewing approval documents is heavy.
- It is becoming dependent on individuals.
- Annual inspections take time.
Is it SaaS?
yes.
This is a SaaS service accessed through a web browser. No software installation is required.
Is there a limit to the number of files?
It can handle up to 30 matching files for each source file.
Additionally, there is a limit of 30MB per file.
Is the document secure?
It features the security measures typical of cloud services, including communication and access management.
We will explain the details individually.
Will this be used as training data?
We do not use customer data for AI training.
