I Built an AI That Diagnoses Industrial Equipment Faults in 30 Seconds

The Problem

You are on a job site. Equipment is down. The service manual is a 400-page PDF back in the truck. You end up calling the manufacturer tech line and sitting on hold for 45 minutes.

What I Built

RepairXpertAI is an AI diagnostic assistant for industrial maintenance techs.

Type in the fault code you are seeing, or snap a photo of the control panel. It comes back with:

  • Probable causes ranked by likelihood
  • Step-by-step diagnostic sequence
  • Parts needed with supplier links

What Is In It Right Now

  • 313+ fault codes in the database (52 general industrial, 51 Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, 26 conveyors, 21 VFDs, 18 packaging, 11 AS/RS, 8 palletizers, 7 pilers, 7 CR30)
  • Photo-based diagnosis -- point your phone at the panel, upload, get results
  • AI chat assistant at /chat -- talk to it like a fellow tech on the crew
  • Parts catalog with supplier cross-references (AutomationDirect, Grainger, Amazon)
  • Mobile-first design -- built for phones on a job site, not a desktop in an office

Free Tier

3 diagnoses a day, no account needed, no credit card.

Pro plan (9/mo) for unlimited diagnoses, full history, priority AI responses.

Enterprise (9/mo) with API access, custom equipment profiles, custom fault code database, and on-site Docker install option.

Offline Option

Also available as a one-time 9 offline toolkit -- runs on your laptop from the truck, no cloud needed, no monthly fees, yours forever: RepairXpertAI Store

Just type what you see. "PowerFlex fault 12" or "conveyor keeps jamming at the merge" -- it knows.


Built by a field tech who got tired of Googling fault codes on a phone with one bar of signal.
