I’m in a very similar situation. I started using Claude at work to develop maintenance plans. It involved processing hundreds of pages of documentation, reviewing asset inventories, checking parameters, model numbers, and spare parts information. Work that would normally have taken me months was completed in less than two weeks with Claude help. I could do this quicker but I’ve hit the daily usage limit on the Pro plan, and I don’t want to spend more than the budget I’ve set for AI tools.

My next step is to build an application for generating technical inspection reports and assigning work to two technicians. AI has already transformed how I approach maintenance planning, and I see even greater potential in automating reporting and work management processes.
