Query: "Conveyor belt keeps slipping under load"

Response:
"Troubleshooting: Belt Slippage Under Load

Most likely causes (ranked):
1. Belt tension too low (70% of cases)
   → Adjust tension to 2-3% elongation
   → Procedure: TRB-CONV-004, Section 3.2

2. Pulley lagging worn (15% of cases)
   → Replace when wear exceeds 3mm
   → Part number: CONV-LAG-025

3. Material buildup on pulleys (10% of cases)
   → Clean with approved solvent
   → Add scraper if recurring

4. Wrong belt specification (5% of cases)
   → Verify load calculation
   → Contact engineering for review

Problem: Torque gun showing error code E-47
Traditional: 35 minutes to find manual section
Document AI: 8 seconds to answer

Query: "Atlas Copco torque gun error E-47"

Response:
"Error E-47: Torque Transducer Calibration Fault

Immediate action:
1. Do not use tool for safety-critical fastening
2. Check calibration date in tool menu
3. If calibration expired, recalibrate per SOP-TOOL-012

Troubleshooting:
• Verify transducer cable connection
• Check for physical damage to tool
• Run self-test diagnostic

If error persists after recalibration:
Contact equipment maintenance (ext. 3456)
Estimated repair time: 2-4 hours

From: Products containing peanuts
To: Peanut-free products

MANDATORY: Follow SOP-SAN-018 in full

Cleaning Steps:
1. Complete dry clean (remove all product)
2. CIP cycle: Caustic 2% @ 80°C × 15 min
3. Intermediate rinse
4. CIP cycle: Acid 1.5% @ 65°C × 10 min
5. Final rinse to conductivity <50 µS/cm
6. ATP swab verification required

Verification Requirements:
• ATP result: <10 RLU
• Allergen swab: Negative (<10 ppm)
• Visual inspection: Sign-off required
