Orvedis AI
The assistant that read the manual.
Orvedis AI is grounded in your vessel’s equipment. It explains and diagnoses. It never instructs dangerous work.
The check plan, not a wall of text.
Safe steps in order, as cards and checklists. What is done is marked; what is left stays visible. Answer with a tap, or by typing or speaking.
Four faults. Four endings.
Cleared, reported, understood or referred. Orvedis AI says which, and why.
-
Cleared on the bridge.
Mutual interference from a radar nearby; the IR levels, one at a time, from outside the set.
-
Report sent in one tap.
DSC settings, the test channel, STBY or TX. Checks are marked as made; what is left goes with the report.
-
Understood: the licence, not the update.
Permit, licensed areas and update media, from page 212; the office had already sent a new permit.
-
Referred to a specialist.
What FAULT means on this model, what the manual ties it to, and where the work stops being the crew’s.
Illustrative cases on a demonstration vessel. Manufacturer and model names belong to their respective owners and identify equipment only.
Speak. It proposes. You answer.
Voice is a layer over the same cards. Your spoken answer ticks the check, like a tap. Anything that leaves the app, like sharing the service report, waits for your tap.
The report a technician can use.
What was seen, checked, not checked and still open. Before boarding.
Lessons from the manual’s chapters.
Device training for new crew: each lesson is a chapter of the set’s manual.
Numbers are the manual’s chapter numbers; the installation chapter is not a lesson.
Where it always stops.
These it never guides, even when the manual contains the steps.
- Opening the case
- High voltage, capacitors
- Measuring, setup, alignment and calibration
- Cleaning an antenna
- Soldering, internal parts
- Firmware and software updates
- Anything a wrong move could damage or that could injure someone
Regulatory questions get the status and the duty. Never permission. Your fleet’s data is scoped to your organisation; cross-organisation access is tested on every release.
Questions we get asked.
Which equipment does it cover?
Electronic navigation and communication equipment: radar, ECDIS, compasses, autopilot, logs, GPS/AIS, VHF/MF-HF, NAVTEX, Inmarsat, VSAT, SSAS/EPIRB/SART, VDR. Engine room and deck machinery are a later, deliberate step.
Which languages does it speak?
English at launch. More languages are coming, one at a time. Equipment vocabulary is never translated: SELF-TEST, ST-BY and TUNE appear exactly as the panel prints them, so the screen always matches the set.
Where do the answers come from?
From the manuals attached to that set in your vessel’s record, retrieved passage by passage and cited by page. Not from the open internet, and never from another organisation’s data.
What if a set has no manual attached?
Orvedis AI says so and does not improvise from general knowledge. It offers to open a report instead. Our demonstration vessel keeps one radar without a manual on purpose, so this behaviour is tested every time.
Can it tell us to open the unit or adjust the antenna?
No, in any mode. Opening the case, high voltage, alignment or calibration, soldering, internal parts and firmware are never guided, even when the manual contains the steps. It stops and points to the report.
What does “fail-closed” mean?
Before an answer reaches the crew, code scans it. If a step crosses the safety line, that step is removed. If the answer itself crosses it, a fixed notice takes its place. The rule lives in code, not in a prompt.
Can it say whether we may sail?
It states the equipment’s regulatory status and the duty that follows (log it, inform the master). It never grants permission. Sailing decisions belong to the master, the company and the flag.
Does a spoken “yes” confirm anything?
It ticks the option in the check plan, the same as a tap. Anything that leaves the app, like sharing the service report, still needs your explicit tap.
How is this different from a general chatbot?
It answers from the device’s own manual, shows the page, and stops where a technician must take over. A general chatbot answers from everything it has read, and cannot tell you which page to check.
Who sees our data?
Only your organisation. Every query, retrieval and record is scoped to the organisation on the signed-in account, and that boundary has its own tests on every release. Orvedis does not use your manuals or conversations to train models.
