What is AISEN?

AISEN stands for AI-Supported Engineering Notebook. It’s a digital workspace that supports engineers during hands-on process work—especially when developing, troubleshooting, or optimizing manufacturing processes.

Think of it as a smart notebook that helps you plan, execute, and analyze technical experiments—while learning from everything you do.

Instead of writing things down manually and switching between Excel, Word, emails, and shared folders, AISEN puts everything into one structured workflow. And it adds something those tools can’t: AI that helps you draw conclusions faster and make better decisions with less trial and error.

AISEN is especially useful when you’re under pressure to:

  • develop new processes from scratch
  • find out why something is going wrong
  • make an existing setup more efficient

In all these cases, AISEN helps you stay in control, avoid documentation gaps, and get insights faster—without slowing you down.

What does it do?

AISEN supports every part of the test process:

1. Planning tests

You define what you want to test—e.g., temperature, pressure, or time. AISEN helps you set up the test matrix and link procedures, safety checks, or material specs so everything is ready before you begin.

2. Running tests

AISEN guides you through each step of your test plan, checks inputs, and records key values like sensor data or batch numbers. This can be done manually or via machine integration.

3. Documenting results

AISEN builds the report while you run the test—no copy-pasting, no formatting. The report stays consistent and reflects real input data.
Already have a report format? Upload your Word or PDF once—AISEN turns it into a reusable template that fills itself in automatically.

4. Reviewing and analyzing

After the test, AISEN helps you review what happened. You can spot patterns, compare runs, and export results—without digging through raw files or notes.

5. Getting AI-powered insights

AISEN’s AI goes beyond documentation. It learns from your tests and helps you make better decisions.

Over time, it helps you:

  • Solve problems faster
  • Understand root causes more clearly
  • Identify better process settings
  • Avoid repeating mistakes
  • Develop new processes in less time

The AI suggests next steps, highlights anomalies, and spots patterns you might miss—so you spend less time guessing and more time improving.

Why do I need an AISEN?

Many engineers still use paper, Word, or Excel for experiments. These tools aren’t made for the job, and it shows:

  • Data is scattered
  • Steps are skipped or not logged
  • Values are copied incorrectly
  • There’s no clear traceability

AISEN fixes this. It keeps everything structured, traceable, and ready for review. It saves time, improves quality, and makes teamwork easier.

Plus: the AI doesn’t just record what you did—it helps you do better next time.

What does AISEN include?

AISEN tools often include:

  • Guided Test Execution – Step-by-step instructions with input checks
  • Automatic Time-Stamping – Every action is logged with time and user
  • Smart Input Fields – Barcode scans, dropdowns, formulas
  • Batch & Lot Tracking – Tests are linked to materials, machines, and users
  • Versioning – Tracks changes to test plans
  • Approval Workflows – Optional review steps before or after execution
  • Template Library – Reuse standard test setups
  • Machine Integration – Pulls sensor data directly into the form
  • Offline Mode – Work without internet, then sync later
  • Export & Reporting – Filtered data for Excel or dashboards
  • AI-Based Suggestions – Recommendations based on past runs
  • Anomaly Detection – Alerts when something looks off
  • Process Optimization Support – Finds which settings worked best

These features reduce human error, ensure consistency, and support audits and reviews.

Real examples

Example 1: Developing a new process
A manufacturing team is building a new thermal bonding process. AISEN helps them plan tests, log data, and analyze what works. The AI identifies stable settings and suggests the next trials.

Example 2: Troubleshooting issues
A production line sees recurring defects. Engineers use AISEN to track changes and test fixes. The AI compares test data and identifies a temperature drop as the likely cause.

Example 3: Improving existing processes
A team wants to cut cycle time. AISEN tracks changes over time, and the AI highlights parameter combinations that speed things up—without hurting quality.

Summary

AISEN helps engineers focus on engineering—not on paperwork. It’s structured, smart, and easy to use.

As a tool category, AI-Supported Engineering Notebooks help teams:

  • Test more effectively
  • Find root causes faster
  • Develop and improve processes with confidence

Whether you're building something new or refining existing workflows, AISEN helps you do it better.
