The AEMT is working with the BSI and UKRI’s Driving the Electric Revolution Challenge, delivered by Innovate UK, to develop an AI-powered tool to help electromechanical repair specialists ensure they repair hazardous area motors to the correct standard.

The tool, which is being developed with some funding and support from Innovate UK, will enable engineers repairing rotating electrical equipment to clarify technical requirements through an easy-to-operate chatbot-style interface. The Chatbot aims to simplify interpreting and complying with these complex standards while reducing the potential for error. Users of the system will be able to ask questions about the repair they are working on and will be provided with the technical guidance and information required to ensure compliance and safety. 

On the 27th February 2025, AEMT members will have the opportunity to test the AI Chatbot. 

We ask that any engineers who attend prepare questions to interrogate the system, focusing on the repair overhaul or reclamation of Ex d machines that are upto 25 years old. 

The testing will be taking place at the BSI HQ in Chiswick, timings TBC. 

We'd love to see you there!
