FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about iFactory's Smart Document Management capabilities.

iFactory supports virtually all document formats including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, JPG, PNG, TIFF, DWG, and DXF. The AI OCR engine can extract text from scanned documents, photographs, and even handwritten notes. Video files (MP4, MOV) can also be attached to assets and work orders for visual reference.

Unlike traditional keyword search, semantic search understands the meaning and context of your query. When you ask “how to replace the bearing on conveyor #3,” it finds relevant SOPs, OEM manuals, and past work order notes even if they don’t contain those exact words. The AI learns from your document library to deliver increasingly accurate results over time.

Every time a document is updated, iFactory creates a new version while preserving the previous one. Each version records the editor’s name, timestamp, and change summary. You can compare any two versions side-by-side, restore previous versions with one click, and set up approval workflows so changes require manager sign-off before going live.

Yes, technicians can pin critical documents for offline access on their mobile devices. This is essential for areas with poor connectivity such as basements, underground facilities, or remote field sites. All offline changes and new uploads sync automatically when the device reconnects to the network.

Every document can be linked to one or more assets, work orders, or locations. When a technician opens an asset profile, they instantly see all linked manuals, SOPs, drawings, certificates, and past work order photos. Documents can also be accessed by scanning the asset’s QR code, pulling up all related files in one tap.

Yes, iFactory’s document management is designed to meet ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, OSHA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and other regulatory standards. Features include tamper-proof audit trails, electronic signatures, controlled document distribution, version-locked records, and one-click audit package generation to satisfy any inspector or auditor.

Yes, iFactory supports bulk document import from file servers, SharePoint, Google Drive, and local drives. The AI auto-tags and categorizes imported documents based on their content, dramatically reducing manual setup time. A typical migration of 5,000+ documents completes in 1–2 weeks with the AI processing engine handling categorization automatically.

Teams can start uploading and searching documents on day one. Basic setup with folder structure, access permissions, and asset linking completes in 1–2 weeks. Full implementation with bulk migration, OCR processing, compliance workflows, and version control policies takes 3–5 weeks. Users become proficient within 1–2 hours of training thanks to the intuitive interface.
