#jakob – Join all knowledge of (your) business
#jakob uses modern technology for object recognition and is specialized in spare and wear parts recognition.
#jakob knows your furnace and all its spare and wear parts. #jakob is connected to parts information, so acquisition is easy.
#jakob is the perfect assistant for supporting your team in the maintenance and servicing of the furnace.
Connected to the sensor system, #jakob has access to all information about the state of your furnace - and thus, your technicians do too!
Based on a stage model, #jakob can make a prognosis on the remaining service life of critical components.
#jakob is a cloud solution. All servers are located in Germany or Austria. Your data is safe with us!
WHAT IS #jakob\einfach.sicher?
1) #jakob 360
The goal is to create an overarching, mobile assistance system, #jakob\einfach.sicher. For the maintenance and service departments of different production plants. The assistance system will be used for selected plants in the heat treatment industry as a first step, and after successful implementation, it will be rolled out for more production plants.
Smart documentation of maintenance by use of image and sound
Compact maintenance history
The maintenance staff receive all relevant data and settings of the relevant parts and components at the tap of a screen.
#jakob will answer the following questions in no time:
When will a unit receive maintenance? When was the most recent maintenance carried out? In which state was this component during the most recent maintenance? Where is cleaning and greasing required? This means that maintenance staff have the answers available right from the start, directly available at the plant.
Open activities are displayed directly and clearly and can thus easily be processed.
Compact maintenance history
The permanent monitoring of critical areas of the plant is to prevent unplanned downtimes. For this purpose, the Aichelin plant is analyzed and critical sub-assemblies are identified.
These sub-assemblies are monitored, where possible with existing sensor systems, and where necessary with new ones.
Mathematical modelling made easy by simple presentation in the App
The “CM” module helps you detect short-time changes, and to counter them accordingly to avoid unplanned downtimes.
The “Maintenance” module provides essential safety between annual maintenance dates and supports you in maintaining the everyday operation of the plant, thus covering the mid-term perspective.
Yet another perspective is added exclusively for this module, namely the long-term perspective, which is based on a degradation model of the individual critical components. Based on this individual degradation model, and depending on the influencing factors of your plant, a prognosis on remaining service life can be made, which provides planning security and a basis for predictive maintenance.
There are different Add-Ons available for the App, which you can order individually with your module.
Our digital twin was not only reviewed in terms of how much sense the incorporated parts make, but it was also based on a logical structure.
This structure allows the user, for the first time, to navigate the plant directly and within the complete depth of the parts hierarchy, as well as to use this hierarchy in a practical way. This way, an individual part can be found thanks to the logical functional interaction.
The Parts Advanced package has already enabled the use of image recognition for the identification of many components and equipment identification, which allow for incredibly fast and native navigation, despite the large number of components. Within only a few seconds, you’ll have found the part you were looking for. This is enabled by the direct connection to our unique neuronal network and the integrated AI (Artificial Intelligence); it takes parts search to a completely new level of efficiency and simplicity.
Simple, fast, and safe
The use of a classic search slot can simply be added to this module; with it you can search for parts by name.
Aside from the familiar image recognition function from the Parts Advanced Add-On, which is subject to typical Aichelin parts, you can also teach the program to recognize more parts via image recognition, which makes it totally easy to jump to the right part.
For Aichelin plants built before 2002 and for third-party plants, not all modules are available. If you need further information, please contact us and we will be happy to look into your individual issue.
#jakob is a development partnership between AICHELIN, Humai, an IT specialist for AI-based data processing, and Fraunhofer Austria (FhA).
Why this name? Well, jakob is a synonym for “the protector”. Jakob basically holds a protecting umbrella over your plant. Jakob: join all knowledge of your business. Moreover, jakob is also a reference to our founder, jakob Aichelin, at our company’s 150th anniversary.

Which products will be offered by #jakob in the future?
Assistance systems for the maintenance of furnace plants, regardless of the manufacturer. A modular, mobile assistance system for maintenance, with currently four functions: maintenance, condition monitoring, optimization of spare parts process, and predictive maintenance.
How is #jakob different from competition?
#jakob, unlike other systems, is a full-fledged, mobile assistance system that's easy to operate and which provides simple access to maintenance tasks via visual parts recognition.
Maintenance staff no longer depend on an external service technician and can thus solve problems on their own. Condition Monitoring (even for components for which there are no Condition Monitoring Systems). Cross-sectoral service life comparisons for critical components.
#jakob has a modular design. Each module has its own use, depending on your requirement. The aim is that anyone who has a problem and requires support with their plant can get individual help in the form of different possible modules. The costs of the modules depend on the year of manufacture and the type of plant. Numerous conversations with Aichelin customers and partners have made for a number of absolutely tangible and essential benefits that come with the use of #jakob. Naturally, numbers will differ from one operator to the other. But the basic approaches and advantages are represented in all customer segments.
