MVC FieldGuide

Your maintenance expert always in the field.

MVC FieldGuide reads your S1000D technical manuals for you: an AI-powered RAG assistant that gives operators step-by-step answers from the approved procedure.

HPE ProLiant Compute EL2000

HPE ProLiant Compute EL2000
  • −40 to 55 °C

    Ruggedized RAG

    AI that answers only from your approved S1000D data, on an HPE ProLiant EL2000 rated for −40 to 55 °C, MIL-STD-810H and 461G.

  • Offline

    Deployable at the tactical edge

    Fully offline on one rugged 2U box. No network, no cloud, no reach-back: model, index and data stay on the server.

  • 0 GPUs

    CPU-only

    CompactifAI makes models 60–80% smaller, so FieldGuide runs on a single Intel Xeon 6.

What the operator gets

Any operator, any skill level

  • Guided, step-by-step help outside their specialty
  • Direct answers for experienced technicians
  • Plain-language questions, no query syntax

Traceable to the data module

  • Answers come only from approved technical data
  • Every answer cites its source DMC
  • The operator can open the source and check

Built for disconnected ops

  • No network needed at the point of repair
  • Model, index and data stay on the server
  • One rugged 2U box, no GPU

How it works

Everything runs on the Box

S1000D data in, cited repair procedure out, all on one box

1

S1000D technical data

Data modules from your CSDB: procedures, descriptions, fault isolation, parts data

2

Structured ingestion

Indexed by data module, keeping the DMC and document structure intact

3

FieldGuide engine

Retrieval + CompactifAI compressed LLM running on the Xeon 6 CPU

4

Answer to the operator

Step-by-step instructions with the source DMC to open and verify

Your team runs the ingestion on site. Multiverse Computing never needs access to your confidential documentation.

CPU-only by design

No GPU required. FieldGuide runs CPU-only.

Compression is what lets a capable LLM run on a standard server CPU, and that changes what you have to deploy, power and support in the field.

  • Compression makes it fit

    CompactifAI shrinks models by 60–80% with 2–4% accuracy loss, so they run from server memory on the CPU.

  • AI acceleration in the CPU

    Intel AMX matrix engines are built into every Xeon 6 core and speed up LLM inference.

  • Lower size, weight and power

    No accelerator card: one less high-power component in a vehicle or shelter.

  • Simpler to field and sustain

    Fewer parts to qualify, cool and keep in spares. The chassis’ second sled slot stays free.

Platform

One rugged 2U server:
HPE ProLiant Compute EL2000

Built for vibration from aircraft and ground vehicles, contaminants and EMI. Managed with HPE iLO 7.

Getting Started

  1. Pilot

    FieldGuide on one platform’s S1000D data set, on the EL2000 reference configuration.

  2. Validate

    Accuracy checked against a query set agreed with your maintenance team at kickoff.

  3. Field

    Roll out to units, with ongoing support and updates as your technical data changes.

Why Multiverse Computing

  • 25

    RAG engagements delivered or in delivery

  • 14

    Of those, full delivery rather than proofs of concept

Delivered across cloud, on-premise, edge and embedded environments in 7 countries. Edge and sovereign deployment are proven capabilities, not roadmap promises.
