A tool from North Coast Education in Luleå

Getting a machine ready for CE marking takes specialist knowledge, and small and medium-sized machine builders often lack it. The material sits in suppliers' manuals, drawings, old projects, email threads and the heads of a few people. Risk assessments are written late, copied from the last project or never done at all.

North Coast Education has seen that pattern at almost every company we train. A general-purpose chatbot does not solve it. It does not know the machine, does not keep track of what has been checked and writes no documents anyone can approve.

Verkio is a workspace for one machine at a time, with an AI assistant inside. The assistant reads your documents, asks follow-up questions and drafts the risk register, checklist and action list. A competent person checks the machine and approves.

• The AI drafts, people approve. Verkio never certifies that a machine meets the requirements.
• Every conclusion should be traceable to the page, article or clause it rests on.
• Your documents are yours. They are stored in Stockholm and we do not read them without your permission.
• We write in our own words. Standards are protected by copyright, so we summarise them and refer to their clauses instead of copying them.
