Advantages of Standardization in Technical Drawings
The artificial intelligence of Werk24 standardizes technical drawings, overcomes language barriers, simplifies surface imperfection, and revolutionizes manufacturing to improve quality.
Werk24 Explains The Basics of Technical Drawing Language
Technical drawings can follow a framework. Werk24 gives language basics for drawing understanding here. Even if you are not an engineer but operate in this business, knowing Werk24’s technical drawing language may help you see the context and interpret the processes when the part needs to be produce or purchased from a supplier.
Creating Cloud-Ready Technical Drawings
The retrieved data become clearer after the technical drawings are understood. All quality levels of drawings can't be processed, so manufacturing services should avoid some (e.g. coffee stains drawings, overlapping sectionals, etc.). As a manufacturer, you should know what to do and not do for drawings to create cloud-ready technical drawings.
Knowledge Base for Product Owners
When collecting information from technical drawings to save time and maintain track of work, basic engineering terms should be understood. By defining a variety of mechanical engineering terminologies, Werk24 has built a comprehensive knowledge base for product owners (e.g. tolerances, title blocks, radii, surface roughness, etc.). The mechanical engineering background of product owners has been enriched thanks to Werk24, which assists them in clearly comprehending these complex words.
Structured Data vs Unstructured Data
Engineering Drawings in various forms are recognized by Werk24's artificial intelligence. Our software turns these unstructured technical drawings into highly structured Excel Sheets or other machine-readable formats such as "JSON." Werk24's technology allows you to save time by automating processes.
We Still Need Technical Drawings
Many companies still use technical drawings for manufacturers and suppliers nowadays. Engineering drawings provide the potential to be translated by others all across the world, which has many benefits ( g.e. portability, storage). Werk24 technology has created a unique solution that recognizes technical drawings and extracts vital information automatically.
IT Grades as Standardized Tolerance
Tolerances can be applied to a variety of units that are important components of manufacturing. When dealing with a large number of tolerances, engineers can make mistakes. The solution is Werk24's API, which calculates the IT Grade for all finite tolerances automatically. AI technology accelerates the procedures by combining all of these varied tolerance levels in a standardized way.
Importance of Extracting External Dimensions
Extraction of exterior dimensions is necessary for determining essential manufacturing parameters (e.g. defining the quantity of material or cost). Reading external dimensions would not always produce a correct result in a standard OCR system. Werk24 creates technology that flawlessly extracts these external dimensions and anticipates relevant data. Artificial Intelligence will be used to improve the processes.
ISO vs ANSI Drawings
Engineering designs could have a wide range of difficulties. The technical drawing standards in EU and the US are vastly different. Engineers from all around the world benefit from a grasp of several perspectives in various standards, such as ISO in EU and ANSI in US. The solution of Werk24 is creating a readable version of both ISO and ANSI standards at the same time utilizing innovative AI intelligence.
Why Extracting Outer Dimensions from Technical Drawings is Challenging
Calculating the outer dimensions from a Technical Drawing is often considered to be an “easy task”. In fact it is among the most challenging.
Beyond OCR - Using AI to Understand Complex Technical Drawings
OCR doesn’t understand Technical Drawings. Werk24 developed its own Artificial Intelligence to extract data from technical drawings automatically within seconds.
