The Borg don’t have that problem. Every drone knows everything the hive knows and the hive never forgets. Therefore every drone knows which cable to replace, should the need arise.
Certificates of Compliance from Hive manufacturers, tracing materials back to their original source. These would also need to confirm to Hive QA programs and traceable Hive-wide standards, where applicable.
Indexed and catalogued maintenance work orders
Legacy documentation from previous species who were assimilated
Indexing and cataloguing newly encountered species’ technology and uploading it to the database
Also the eye would be Augmented Reality so the drone can tell exactly what it is just by looking at it.
That’s how the assimilation starts, then you find out that they start with 6 weeks of vacation, unlimited sick days, and free health care for your family… resistance is futile.

It’s nice having a bionic eye that is directly connected to an Enterprise Content Management system which has schematics and engineering diagrams for:
Aforementioned cables, terminal blocks, pigtails and splices, homerun cables, and associated electrical and instrumentation loop diagrams
Piping and Instrumentation diagrams for all ship systems, including revision level document management
Plan and structural drawings of each Cube, with calculations
Environmental/equipment qualification documentation

You make it sound as the hive is the perfect engineering job you’ll ever have

*Free health care as long as you are worth repairing
