Drawing Tech

Transplanting senior engineers' drawing-reading know-how into AI to enable young engineers to make accurate design judgments quickly

Challenges

Do you face these challenges?

  • The Risk That Estimation Accuracy Will Plummet When Senior Designers Retire
  • Estimation and Cost-Buildup Work Takes Weeks of Effort, Causing Deals to Be Missed
  • Young Engineers Cannot Read Drawings; Questions Concentrate on Senior Engineers, Driving Dependence on Individual Experience
  • Human Errors in Manually Calculated BOMs and Estimates Surface in Downstream Processes

The aging of design engineers in manufacturing and construction is severe. Drawing comprehension is said to require more than ten years of experience, and the transfer of skills to young engineers has become the largest bottleneck. Estimation and cost-buildup work still depends on Excel, calculators, and rules of thumb, and it is not uncommon for a single case to take several days to a week.

Meanwhile, with improvements in image-recognition AI, the accuracy of automatic CAD drawing analysis has evolved dramatically over the past three years. Drawing Tech localizes this AI innovation into "the language of Japan's manufacturing sites," converting senior engineers' tacit knowledge into a shared asset of the organization.

What matters is the process of transplanting the veterans' "way of reading" itself into AI, which requires extracting tacit knowledge after a deep understanding of the operational workflow in the field.

Key Features

Key Features

Automatic Drawing-Analysis Engine

AI automatically analyzes drawings in various formats including CAD/CAM/PDF. It extracts dimensions, materials, surface roughness, tolerances, and machining instructions as structured data.

Automatic BOM Generation

From drawing analysis results, the Bill of Materials is automatically generated. Part type, quantity, material, and candidate suppliers are output together, eliminating manual transcription.

Process-Design AI Assistant

An AI that has learned senior engineers' process-design logic proposes optimal machining processes from drawings. It supports young engineers' design judgments in real time.

Automatic Quote Generation

Based on the BOM, process design, and historical cost data, quotes are automatically generated. Along with human adjustments and revisions, equipment quantity, specifications, and costs are automatically tallied and turned into a report.

Why Choose Us

Drawing → Structured Data Conversion

AI automatically analyzes drawings in PDF and scanned formats, and extracts dimensions, materials, machining instructions, and tolerance information as structured data. Both manual-entry errors and workload are reduced simultaneously.

Learning the Judgment Logic of Senior Engineers

Rather than mere OCR, we train the AI on the "judgment process" — how senior engineers read drawings and design machining processes. enableX embeds itself into the field as a business, systematically extracting and transplanting the tacit knowledge of senior engineers.

Automation of Estimation and Process Design

From the results of drawing analysis, we automatically generate the Bill of Materials (BOM), machining processes, and cost estimates. We shorten estimation work that previously took half a day for a senior engineer to a matter of minutes, dramatically improving sales lead time.

Integration With Existing ERP/PLM

API integration with core systems such as SAP, Oracle, and Obic.
