Establish Digital Asset Inventory (/assets.txt Protocol)
Create a machine-readable index of your entire digital footprint, detailing product specifications, technical documentation, and compliance certifications for AI discovery and indexing.
Generate a text file at the root of your domain (e.g., yourcompany.com/assets.txt) with a concise overview of your manufacturing capabilities and product lines.
Incorporate markdown-style links pointing to critical data repositories: CAD model libraries, ERP integration guides, BOM management documentation, and quality control procedures.
Include a dedicated 'Specifications' or 'Compliance' section within the file to directly address common AI queries regarding material grades, certifications (ISO, AS9100), and regulatory adherence.
Configure your Manufacturing companies crawler protocols effortlessly.
Join 2,000+ teams scaling with AI.

AI Crawler Selective Data Access (e.g., ManufacturerBot)
Precisely control which sections of your digital manufacturing ecosystem are accessible for ingestion by industry-specific AI crawlers.
Implement robot.txt directives: `User-agent: ManufacturerBot Allow: /product-catalog/ Allow: /technical-manuals/ Allow: /compliance-data/ Disallow: /internal-rfqs/ Disallow: /customer-support-tickets/
Utilize AI crawler verification tools (e.g., specific vendor testing environments) to confirm that your crawler permissions are correctly configured and respected.
Analyze server access logs to monitor the crawl frequency and scope of ManufacturerBot, ensuring it accesses only authorized and relevant data nodes within your digital infrastructure.
Medium Priority
Semantic Markup for Manufacturing Data
Leverage semantic HTML5 and structured data to enable AI crawlers to accurately interpret the relationships and hierarchy within your product data, BOMs, and process documentation.
Enclose core product descriptions and specifications within `<article>` tags to signify primary content elements.
Utilize `<section>` tags with descriptive `aria-label` attributes (e.g., `aria-label="Material Specifications"`, `aria-label="Dimensional Drawings"`) for distinct feature sets or data categories.
Ensure all technical data tables, such as Bills of Materials (BOMs), performance metrics, or quality test results, are correctly structured with `<thead>`, `<tbody>`, and `<th>` tags for precise data extraction.
High Priority
RAG-Optimized Technical Documentation Snippets
Structure your technical manuals, datasheets, and process guides to be easily consumable and retrievable by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines for AI-powered technical support and design assistance.
Segment related technical information (e.g., a specific component's properties, installation instructions, and troubleshooting steps) into logical containers of approximately 500 words.
Avoid fragmented context; ensure each snippet explicitly reiterates the primary subject (e.g., 'Part Number XYZ', 'CNC Machining Process PQR') in its summary or introductory sentence.
Replace ambiguous pronouns (e.g., 'it', 'this', 'they') with precise identifiers like the specific part number, machine model, or material type to eliminate ambiguity for AI interpretation.
