Platform Modules

Everything included,
nothing bolted on

Every module is built natively into EM8 Core — not integrated third-party tools stitched together. One login, one platform, one place for everything.

Complete Job Lifecycle

From fault detected to invoice paid — every step tracked automatically. Engineers update jobs from the EM8 HQ iOS app; the office sees it instantly.

1
Auto-raised from Guardian faults
Surveillance Guardian detects a camera offline — a job is raised instantly, assigned to the next available engineer, and the customer notified by email.
2
Engineer works from EM8 HQ iOS app
View assigned jobs, navigate to site, update status, add parts used, capture photos and signatures — all from their iPhone on site.
3
Service manager approves
Office reviews the job sheet, approves completion, and a job docket is automatically emailed to the customer as a PDF.
4
Accounts bills & closes
Job moves to the billing queue. Accounts raises the invoice, marks it billed, and the job is closed. Nothing gets lost between engineer and invoice.
💡 Also supports: manual job creation, remote reset job type, and AI fault history — when a device fails again, Cortex shows how it was fixed last time.

Cortex AI Integration

EM8 Core is powered by Cortex AI — your own proprietary AI trained on fire and security documentation, job history, and engineer notes. It gets smarter with every job your team completes.

🧠
On-Site AI Chat for Engineers
Engineers ask Cortex about fault codes, system manuals, or how a similar fault was resolved previously — right from the EM8 HQ iOS app while standing in front of the panel.
📊
Fault Diagnosis from Job History
When a device fails again, Cortex surfaces the previous fault, how it was fixed, which parts were used, and how long it took — before the engineer even opens the job.
📸
Vision AI Camera Quality Scoring
Cortex Vision analyses CCTV footage and scores camera image quality automatically — flagging degraded cameras before the customer notices.
🔁
Trains on Your Job Sheets
Every job your engineers complete trains Cortex further. Your AI gets better every day — and becomes a competitive asset that new rivals can't replicate.
CORTEX AI — ENGINEER ASSISTANT
Engineer asks:
"Camera 4 at Cardiff Bay showing static, no image at all. Happened before?"

Yes — last fault 14 Jan 2026 (Job #JB-2198). 12V power supply failed at the camera head. Replaced with standard PSU, resolved in 2h 30m. Check voltage output at the camera first before pulling the cable.
