Field-service work orders with technician notes and photos

Field-service records from dispatch to job completion: the customer’s problem, technician diagnosis notes, parts and labor, before-and-after photos, and whether a return visit was needed. Labs use them to train diagnostic and dispatch agents, and as real-world visual data for physical tasks.

What a record contains

One job: the request, equipment details, dispatch and arrival times, diagnosis and work notes, parts and labor, photos, and the outcome or callback.

How AI labs use it

Diagnostic agents
Symptoms paired with what technicians found.
Dispatch and scheduling
Real job durations and parts needs.
Physical-world data
Photos of real equipment and repairs.

Typical preparation requirements

Agreed with the supplier before any work begins. Typical requirements include:

  • Customer names, addresses and phone numbers removed; locations generalized
  • Photos screened for faces, house numbers and documents
  • Technician identities pseudonymized

Every dataset has a documented owner and confirmed licensing rights. See data governance on sourcex.si.
