It is also able to identify most components from images.

Manager Mode offers the same extensive information as Engineers Mode but with a stronger focus on compliance.

This approach equips facilities and contract managers with a distinct advantage in handling technical aspects and ensuring compliance.
What's different about the custom engineer?
Our purpose built virtual engineers are designed specifically for each site.
