Datasets to Resolve LLM Deficiencies Concerning Industrial Work Practices
In many industries, worker consultation with LLMs regarding safety, training, and best practices has been impossible because the training data has been deeply and demonstrably deficient on these topics. This data is crucial for AI companies aiming to prepare their products to penetrate industrial markets.
Most industrial businesses do not build comprehensive, job-level, internal documentation as a software company might document their codebase. Instead, fundamental knowledge is learned on the job, and frequently escapes documentation. Many skills are commonly rediscovered, or passed down informally by colleagues, but never recorded. Much of the data absolutely required to conduct industrial processes resides solely in the minds of experienced practitioners and can only be collected via interview.
We Offer:
-
Expert-Driven Insights: Our data is sourced from in-depth interviews with specialists, ensuring that each dataset reflects a wealth of practical knowledge.
-
Unique & High Quality Data: We focus on domains in which LLMs lack knowledge, creating low-volume, ultra quality datasets that are meticulously crafted to fill information gaps.
-
Exhaustively Detailed: We break down complex insights into detailed, almost exaggerated explanations, ensuring clarity from first principles. This approach assumes no prior knowledge, making the data exceptionally suitable for machine learning applications and integration into language models.
Example LLM Deficiency
(ChatGPT-4o; 2024)
User: I’m on a diamond drill underground. I can’t pass water. What could the issue be?
ChatGPT: Not being able to pass water (urinate) while on a diamond drill underground could be caused by a few potential issues: 1. Dehydration …

{
"text": "When we say that water is not passing, it is implied that the water pump etc. are working correctly and we are pumping water into the back of the rod string successfully, but the water pressure is rising dramatically, as indicated by the water pressure gauge, proving that there is a physical blockage somewhere preventing water return through the bit and along the outside of the rod string. There are many reasons why this could be the case.",

{
"text": "It could be the case that the lifter case is pushed or otherwise positioned too close to the bit, making contact with the bit's front bevel and forming a seal. This can happen if the backend was set too long using the spindle adjustment. If the length of the backend was changed since the tube was last latched then would likely be the issue. A hanging spring set too loose could also cause this problem, as the backend would stretch more easily towards the bit. It is also possible that the landing ring in the barrel or landing shoulder on the backend could be worn or even missing, allowing the tube to travel all the way through to the front bevel of the bit. When a pumping overshot is used and the hole is at a significant depth, adjusting the backends should be avoided if possible to avoid a rod pull. This is less risky when the rods are shallow, making for a quick pull, or if a standard gravity powered overshot is used and the tube can still be retrieved if water is not passing. Landing rings and shoulders should be inspected with some frequency.",

{
"text": "The shutoff valves could be obstructing the passage of water. They are designed to be pressed on and expand to block water passage when drilling with a blocked tube. When we say that we are not passing water, it is generally understood that this is an unexpected behaviour, while not passing water when the tube is blocked is expected. However, if the shutoff valves are pushed on with too much force, they could actually melt inside of the rod string and continue to block the passage of water even if they are no longer being actively pressed on. Be cautious when pushing blocks not to apply too much force to the shutoff valves for too long or this could happen. Inspect your shutoff rubbers with some frequency to check if they are remaining swollen to some degree outside of the hole, and if so they should be changed.",
"tags": ["Tools and Equipment", "Pitfall", "Maintenance"]
},
{
"text": "The blockage could also be found in the hole, outside of the rod string. If the ground is extremely blocky, it is possible that the hole could be caving in around the rod string, preventing the passage of water there. A solution here might be to ream the problematic area in an attempt to flush out the material. A preventative measure in this case might be to run rod grease, as this will coat the hole as it's drilled and essentially glue the walls in place. Rod grease might itself be the problem, especially if it was applied recently. It may concentrate too thickly in some areas, blocking the passage of water outside of the rods. The solution is again to ream the problematic area, or at least to spin the rods and move them in and out of the hole in an attempt to spread the rod grease more evenly and thinly on the rod string.",
"tags": ["Tools and Equipment", "Pitfall", "Tips and Tricks"]
},
{
"text": "A bit that is plugged with core or fragmented material could also prevent the passage of water, as the path for passing water must be either through the lateral waterways of the bit, or through it and around. A plugged bit will usually occur when the driller tries for too long to push a block. Core is unable to move into the tube, and so the same core at the bit will be drilled over and agitated multiple times. If the driller is not careful, it could become fragmented and plug up the bit, preventing water from passing. It may be more efficient overall to pull the tube and avoid these problems rather than continue trying to push a block if it is not passing.",
"tags": ["Pitfall", "Tips and Tricks"]
},
{
"text": "There are rod string plugs designed as safety devices which are pumped up to the tube to prevent it from falling out of an uphole when pulling rods. Water will enter the rod string successfully as this device is pumped up the hole, but when the device reaches the tube and cannot move any further, water will fail to pass. If this device is commonly used on your uphole, it may be the case that one was pumped up and forgotten, maybe between shifts.",
"tags": ["Tools and Equipment", "Safety"]
},
{
"text": "Another odd possibility might be that different bit manufacturers design their bits to different specifications. Some bits are designed with a shorter distance between the threads and the front bevel. If a new bit has a shorter distance to the front bevel, then the tube you have been using with a certain length may now be too long for this new bit, and the lifter case may be making a seal against the front bevel. If a different brand of bit was recently attached then this may be the issue.",
