Question 1

What is the MAindTec Knowledge Vault?

Accepted Answer

The Knowledge Vault is a secure, AI-ready library for every engineering file your team works with: specifications, drawings, CAD models, BOMs, test reports, and Office documents. Files are processed by dedicated workers, indexed for semantic search, and made available to the chat with page-level citations.

Question 2

Which file formats does the Knowledge Vault support?

Accepted Answer

PDF and Office formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, TXT, HTML, Markdown, RTF), engineering drawings as PDFs and image scans (PNG, JPG, TIF, BMP, WEBP), and CAD models for geometry analysis. Each format is routed to the right processor — text extraction for documents, visual analysis with YOLO and OCR for drawings, and geometry analysis (holes, wall thickness, tolerances, PMI) for CAD.

Question 3

How does SharePoint integration work?

Accepted Answer

Connect a SharePoint folder once. The Knowledge Vault keeps it in sync, so new files appear automatically and your team keeps working in SharePoint. No re-uploading, no duplicate copies, and existing folder permissions are respected.

Question 4

Can I control who can see each file in a vault?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every file has a visibility setting: project (everyone in the project), private (only you), or restricted (specific people). Permissions apply consistently across browsing, search, and chat citations — restricted files never leak into answers for users who do not have access.

Question 5

How long does it take for a file to become searchable?

Accepted Answer

Most documents are indexed within minutes of upload. Drawings and CAD files take a little longer because they go through visual analysis. Every file shows a clear status of Processing, Ready, or Failed, so you always know when a file is searchable in chat.

Question 6

Where is engineering data hosted? Is the Knowledge Vault GDPR-compliant?

Accepted Answer

All data is hosted on EU infrastructure and is GDPR-compliant by default. Your files, drawings, and CAD models are never used to train external AI models, and access to vault content is governed by the same role-based permissions used across the platform.
