Four deliberate steps

From a physical point to a recorded, reviewable history.

01

Find the COTIC

Each asset, room, vehicle or service point carries its own Cloud on Tap Information Carrier.

02

Tap with a compatible phone

The COTIC opens the matching view in the phone's browser — no separate lookup.

03

Act within your role

Each person sees and submits only what their role permits.

04

Record, review, look ahead

Work joins the application's cloud history, is reviewed through the configured workflow and feeds its analytics.

Worked example · synthetic

Building Services: a clear maintenance hand-off.

An air-handling unit has a COTIC beside its service panel. A technician opens the permitted checklist, records an inspection and notes a follow-up. A supervisor reviews the submitted work record.

Interactive example with sample data — not a live customer installation.

Predictive AI, explained plainly

Predictions based on each application's analytics.

All ten Cloud on Tap applications include AI prediction based on the analytics each application holds in the cloud. Those analytics come from the records people submit through the application's authorised workflows — a COTIC opens the workflow; it is the submitted data that counts — under the same role permissions as the rest of the record.

Predictions support people's judgement. They do not replace review, professional advice or the configured workflow.

  1. 01

    Recorded

    Records entered through the application's authorised workflows are stored in its cloud history.

  2. 02

    Analysed

    Each application holds analytics on its own records in the cloud.

  3. 03

    Predicted

    AI prediction draws on those analytics to help teams look ahead.

How the prediction is meant to be used

Records in. A forward look out. People decide.

Every Cloud on Tap application includes predictive AI based on its own cloud analytics. Here is the chain, and where it stops.

  1. 01

    Inputs

    Records people submit through the application's authorised workflows, held in its cloud analytics.

  2. 02

    Prediction scope

    Limited to what that application records. Exact forecast targets, fields and models are confirmed per deployment.

  3. 03

    Decision support

    A prediction is a prompt to look closer or plan ahead, shown to the roles allowed to see it.

  4. 04

    Human review

    A responsible person checks it against the real situation and the configured workflow before acting.

Useful by design

Less hunting. More context at the point of work.

A simple information carrier can make the next permitted step easier to find—without adding a tracking claim or replacing a team's review process.

01

Relevant information opens at the physical point.

02

Forms can follow the actual task and role.

03

Records can be reviewed through the configured workflow.

A short technology note

COTICs connect. The cloud remembers.

COTIC stands for Cloud on Tap Information Carrier. A compatible phone reads it with a short-range contactless tap and opens the relevant digital page; information, forms, history and analytics live in the cloud application configured for the use case.

A COTIC is not a sensor, location tracker, identity check or proof that work happened. It is a practical entry point into an authorised workflow.

A few clear answers

Frequently asked questions

Does a COTIC track the asset or the person?

No. A COTIC is an information carrier. It does not provide location tracking or verify a person's identity or presence.

Does every phone work?

The phone must support contactless reading and have it enabled. The linked page opens in a browser; exact behaviour depends on the device and configuration.

What does the AI predict?

Each application includes AI prediction based on the analytics it holds in the cloud. What a prediction can cover depends on the data available to that application and how it is configured.

Who reviews submitted work?

That depends on the configured workflow. The worked example shows a supervisor reviewing a submitted record.

Is the example a live installation?

No. It is a synthetic illustration. It does not represent a customer site, a service result or a real AI prediction.

EU projects and pilots

Planning an EU project or pilot with physical assets?
