    AI DOES

    Scans sensor data, error logs, and patterns to flag likely faults and suggest causes

    YOU DO

    Climb the turbine, physically inspect parts, and confirm the real root cause with your own eyes and tools

  2. TASK 02

    Maintain tool and spare parts inventories required for repair, installation, or replacement services.

    AI DOES

    Sorts, cleans, and spots patterns in collected turbine data

    YOU DO

    Climb the turbine, connect equipment, and verify readings in person

  6. TASK 06

    Test structures, controls, or mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical systems, according to test plans or in coordination with engineers.

    AI DOES

    Analyzes sensor data, flags anomalies, and helps read test results faster

    YOU DO

    Climb the turbine, run the physical tests, and decide what the readings mean in context
