Technical Product Knowledge for Equipment Manufacturers

Turn complex product documentation into
technical self-service that actually works.

LUMAREF connects equipment, models, manuals, diagrams, parts, and products so customers, dealers, and support teams can find the right answer, verify the source, and take the next step.

Start with one manual, parts catalog, or product family. No documentation replatform required.

Know what applies

Connect every answer to the relevant equipment, model, configuration, and technical context.

Verify the source

Trace answers directly to the manual section, procedure, diagram, or reference behind them.

Continue to action

Move from the answer to the diagram, part, current product, or next step.

Built for the aftermarket

Built for equipment manufacturers whose products stay in the field.

LUMAREF is designed for companies where technical knowledge must remain useful long after the original sale — across customers, dealers, service teams, parts operations, and multiple generations of equipment.

Long-lived equipment Replacement parts Dealer networks Illustrated parts catalogs Multiple product generations Recurring support questions

Complex aftermarket knowledge — not generic document search.

The aftermarket knowledge gap

The answer already exists.

People still have to call someone to find it.

Years of manuals, parts catalogs, diagrams, service bulletins, and product data contain the information your customers and teams need. But using it often requires knowing which document applies, where the answer is hidden, how the diagram connects to the parts table, and which part number maps to the product available today.

Which information applies?

Different models, configurations, serial ranges, and product generations make it difficult to determine which manual, procedure, or part is correct for the equipment in front of you.

Can the answer be trusted?

A paragraph without its technical context, source, and supporting evidence is not enough for consequential work.

What happens next?

Even after finding an answer, the user may still need to inspect a diagram, identify a part, or reach the current orderable product.

The problem is not missing information.

It is the distance between information that exists and knowledge people can use.

From fragmented content to connected product knowledge

Make the technical content you already have
work as one connected system.

LUMAREF recovers the structure and relationships buried inside manuals, diagrams, parts catalogs, service information, and product data.

Why LUMAREF

General AI can read a manual.
LUMAREF understands what the answer applies to — and what comes next.

Finding a matching paragraph is only part of the job. LUMAREF connects the answer to the product context, technical evidence, visual references, and real-world action surrounding it.

Model-aware

Understand which equipment, model, configuration, serial range, or product generation the information applies to.

Structured

Turn pages and files into organized sections, diagrams, parts, references, products, and relationships.

Verifiable

Keep answers connected to the exact source and supporting technical evidence.

Connected to action

Move directly from a question to the applicable answer, diagram, part, product, or workflow.

Structure, not just search.  Answers connected to action.

From answer to action

A technical answer should not end with a paragraph of text.

LUMAREF helps people move through the complete technical journey without restarting their search in another file or system.

Built in the real world

Built from the same aftermarket knowledge problem LUMAREF now solves.

LUMAREF began inside LiftGateMe, where a large replacement-parts catalog and years of OEM manuals, diagrams, and technical information created a familiar challenge.

The answers existed. Finding the right one — and connecting it to the correct model, diagram, part, and current product — was the hard part.

That environment shaped LUMAREF into something different from a generic document chatbot. It was built to understand technical product context, connect information that lives in different places, and turn existing content into experiences people can actually use.

Start with the technical content creating the most friction.

Choose one manual, parts catalog, or product family. We’ll show you how LUMAREF can turn it into model-aware technical self-service connected to sources, diagrams, parts, and products.

No need to rebuild your documentation operation before creating a better experience.
