SOP 07 · Packaging line 3

Before you start the line

Read this before every shift. Ask your supervisor if anything is unclear.

  1. Put on gloves and safety goggles.
  2. Check that the emergency stop is released.
  3. Start the conveyor at low speed and watch the first cycle.

01 · The problem

Knowledge trapped by language

People move for work, for love, for a fresh start. Wherever they go, the first hurdles are the same: somewhere to live, a new language, a job.

Starting a job before you have learned the language is especially hard. Everything you need to know is written down, but in a language you don't read yet. Knowledge people can't read is knowledge they can't use.

Companies now hire across borders, but their documentation still exists in one language. That costs time, wastes talent, and puts invisible walls between people and the information they need.

Teams cross borders.
More and more colleagues are still learning the local language.
Documents don't.
Manuals, SOPs and policies usually exist in one language only.
So people ask around.
Answers travel by word of mouth, slowly and not always correctly.

02 · Origin

Built for one factory first

Interpress started with a real request. A manufacturer in the EU asked us where AI could make a practical difference in his business. After a few iterations the problem was clear: onboarding foreign employees who were still learning the local language took far too much of his time.

He also wanted an LLM on top of his existing library of documents and internal databases. The agent we built for him did both, and it became the basis of Interpress. The name comes from the Latin interpres: interpreter, translator.

03 · Pipeline

How it works

Four steps take a document from one language to every language, and make it searchable on the way.

Interpress pipelineA document is uploaded, translated with its layout kept, indexed in a vector database, and then answered from in any language.Interpress · pipelineSOP-07.docxENDE01UploadPDF · DOCX · PPTX · XLSXAЖ02Translate249 languages · layout kept03IndexVector database04AskAnswers in your language Interpress pipelineA document is uploaded, translated with its layout kept, indexed in a vector database, and then answered from in any language.Interpress · pipelineENDE01UploadPDF · DOCX · PPTX · XLSXAЖ02Translate249 languages03IndexVector database04AskAnswers in your language
PipelineThe document goes in as English and leaves the translate step as German, with the same layout, before it is indexed for search.
  1. 01

    Upload.

    Add PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files (PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, XLSX). Coworkers can upload their own content too.

  2. 02

    Translate.

    Neural machine translation into any of 249 languages. The file is rebuilt in the target language with its layout, tables and styles intact, ready to use without re-editing.

  3. 03

    Index.

    Each document is embedded and stored in a vector database, so it can be found by meaning, not just keywords, whatever language it was written in.

  4. 04

    Ask.

    An AI agent searches, summarises and explains your documents in the language you ask in. If the answer isn't in your documents, it says so.

04 · Why not a chatbot

A file in, the same file out

A chat assistant can read a document and reply with translated text. Interpress gives you back the document itself.

Chat assistant

Run 1Gloves and goggles on. Check the e-stop.

Run 2Wear gloves and safety glasses; make sure the emergency stop is released.

  • Returns plain text in a chat window, not a file.
  • Headings, tables and styles are lost along the way.
  • The wording can change every time you ask.

Interpress

SOP-07.docx · DE
  • Returns the same file type, ready to share or print.
  • Layout, tables and styles stay where they were.
  • Same input, same output, every time.

05 · Ask

Ask in your language

The question and the documents don't have to share a language. The assistant answers from what your company has written, and nothing else.

QuestionDE

Welche Probleme hatten wir im vierten Quartal an der Verpackungslinie?

What issues did we have with the packaging line in Q4?

AnswerDEfrom Croatian maintenance logs

Drei wiederkehrende Probleme: Folienrisse an Station 2, Sensorfehler am Etikettierer und Stillstände nach dem Formatwechsel. Die Techniker empfehlen, die Folienspannung zu Schichtbeginn zu prüfen.

Three recurring issues: film tears at station 2, labeller sensor faults and stoppages after changeovers. Technicians recommend checking film tension at the start of each shift.

QuestionHR

Koliko dana godišnjeg odmora imam u prvoj godini?

How many days of annual leave do I get in my first year?

AnswerHRfrom the English employee handbook

Prema priručniku za zaposlenike, u prvoj godini imate 20 radnih dana godišnjeg odmora. Termin dogovarate s voditeljem smjene najmanje dva tjedna unaprijed.

According to the employee handbook, you get 20 working days of annual leave in your first year. Agree the dates with your shift lead at least two weeks in advance.

QuestionEN

What torque should the M8 bolts on the conveyor frame be tightened to?

AnswerENno match

I couldn't find this in your documents. The closest match is the general assembly guide, which doesn't list torque values for the conveyor frame.
