What Each Tool Can — and Cannot — Do

Our four free engineering tools, described plainly: what each one does, what it does not do, the data behind it, and where one of our engineers takes over.

Generator Oracle

Look up a generator alarm or engine fault code and see the likely causes and checks.

Open Generator Oracle →

What it does

Explains controller alarms for DeepSea, ComAp, Woodward, SmartGen, CAT PowerWizard, Datakom, Lovato, Siemens and ENKO
Decodes J1939 engine codes typed the way they appear (for example "SPN 100 FMI 1")
Matches described symptoms to Repair Centre diagnostic guides and related alarms
Gives reset steps per alarm, wiring references and training simulators
Puts a WhatsApp or phone route to an engineer on every result

What it does not do

Connect to or read your generator, controller or ECM — the simulators use simulated values
Use generative AI — the guidance is rule-based and written by our engineers
Replace the manufacturer's manual, which is the final word on your exact model
Cover every possible code — older mechanical engines have no engine codes at all

Data behind it

Hand-written controller alarm descriptions (one entry per brand and code)
SAE J1939 SPN and FMI definitions, combined into plain-English meanings
EmersonEIMS Repair Centre articles, reviewed by our engineers

Solar Genius Pro

A first estimate of the solar system you need, from your own consumption.

Open Solar Genius Pro →

What it does

Sizes panels, inverter and battery from your monthly kWh and the backup you want
Uses NASA POWER sun-hours for your location
Gives a first cost, yearly energy, saving and payback, using your tariff
Inverter and battery fault-code library, with the manual each code comes from

What it does not do

Produce a bankable or tender-ready design — a site survey does that
Analyse your roof from satellite images
Use generative AI
Replace a quotation: prices are typical Kenyan ranges, not an offer

Data behind it

NASA POWER solar irradiance (sun-hours) for the chosen location
Your consumption and tariff figures
Typical Kenyan equipment prices, stated as ranges

Book a solar site survey →

AquaScan Pro

A desktop first look at a borehole site, before you pay for a field survey.

Open AquaScan Pro →

What it does

Pulls long-term rainfall, temperature and soil data for the site
Shows mapped water points and Kenyan borehole records nearby
Gives a rough depth range and a drilling-cost band, with every source named
States plainly that it is a pre-screen and that a survey decides where to drill

What it does not do

Tell you exactly where or how deep to drill — a geophysical survey and a licensed hydrogeologist do
Measure water quality — it shows the risks to test for
Use deep-learning models or generative AI
Replace Water Resources Authority permits

Data behind it

NASA POWER climate data, ISRIC SoilGrids and SRTM terrain
Water Point Data Exchange and OpenStreetMap water points
Published Kenyan borehole records, where they exist for the area

Book a site visit →

Building Suite

Engineering reference calculators for building work, each checked by hand.

Open Building Suite →

What it does

Wind pressure, steel bolt shear, reinforced-concrete beam bending and rational-method runoff
Bearing capacity of a shallow footing, building U-values, daylight factor and room acoustics
Uses every input you type, and tells you when an input is missing instead of assuming one

What it does not do

Produce architectural drawings, BIM models or a bill of quantities
Price a project or design electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems
Replace a registered engineer's design and sign-off

Data behind it

Published engineering formulas (Eurocode and ASCE methods, named on each calculator)
Your inputs only — no stored project data

EmersonEIMS AI Tools — Free Engineering Intelligence for Power, Water & Solar

A suite of free engineering tools built for the Kenyan and East African market: AquaScan Pro for boreholes and groundwater, Generator Oracle for diagnostics, SolarGenius Pro for solar design, BuildingPro for construction services, plus calculators, diagnostics and maintenance planners.

What it does

AquaScan Pro — desktop borehole pre-feasibility with audited, verifiable reports
Generator Oracle — brand-specific generator fault diagnosis and maintenance guidance
SolarGenius Pro — solar PV design, sizing and payback for homes to industry
Engineering calculators, equipment diagnostics and maintenance planning — all free

Coverage

Built in Kenya, priced for the region, and backed by real EmersonEIMS engineers — the tools hand over to humans the moment field work is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Are the AI tools really free?: Yes. The tools are free to use; we earn our keep when you need the physical services they lead to — surveys, installation, repairs and maintenance.
How are the results validated?: Each tool publishes its methodology and limits. AquaScan Pro, for example, runs 20 automated consistency checks and refuses to export a contradictory report, with a public validation ledger.
Can I use them outside Kenya?: Yes — the underlying data sources are global, with the deepest calibration in Kenya and East Africa.
