Your Questions Answered
We use artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically detect production- and quality-relevant parameters in technical drawings. This eliminates manual reviews, reduces errors, and accelerates the entire analysis process.
Can technical drawings in PDF format be integrated and processed in batches?
Yes. PDF files—whether as vector or image format—can be imported and automatically processed. The system supports both individual and batch processing of drawings, enabling scalable and efficient analysis workflows.
What are the benefits of AI for generating offers from technical drawings?
AI enables faster, more accurate quotations by identifying similar drawings and extracting key technical data. This speeds up response times, improves planning, and boosts competitiveness—especially for contract manufacturers.
Can the AI be trained to recognize specific parts or features in my drawings?
Yes. The system supports custom training and can learn to detect your specific features, tolerances, and inspection dimensions—even from just a few examples. This ensures highly accurate, domain-specific recognition.
How does AI help identify critical areas in technical drawings more efficiently?
The system visually highlights challenging or production-critical areas using clear color markers (e.g. yellow and red). This lets you immediately focus on complex features—saving time and minimizing oversight risks.
In which formats can I export the AI-analyzed data?
We offer flexible export options tailored to your process—whether you need structured data for ERP, CAM, or other systems. Our patented technology also enables us to formalize your expert knowledge in an easy and effective way.
Can my specific business logic be integrated into the system?
Yes. We can flexibly adapt the system to your specific business logic and data workflows. Whether it’s custom rules for offer generation, feature recognition, or integration into your existing systems—we support it. Our patented technology also enables us to formalize your expert knowledge in an easy and effective way.
Can additional information such as standards databases or supplier audit data be used?
Yes. External data sources—such as norms databases, supplier audit results, or material specifications—can be integrated to enhance similarity analysis and further automate the quotation and planning process. This ensures more accurate decisions based on a broader data foundation.
