Advantages of Standardization in Technical Drawings
How can you confidently interpret technical drawings for complex parts, materials, and specifications, even with varying languages and standards?
This is where Werk24's AI-powered solution comes into play, providing significant advantages in standardization that streamline the process and ensure accuracy and consistency in material identification and surface roughness parameters. Let's explore how Werk24's AI can revolutionize understanding and utilizing technical drawings.
Overcoming Language & Standards Barriers
One of the biggest challenges in technical drawings is identifying materials accurately, especially when they are presented in different languages or standards. Werk24's AI understands the complexity of identifying materials in technical drawings and can automatically extract and verify material designations. For example, Werk24's AI can recognize that "ALU SHEET 5754 (AG3) CONDITION H111 NT A50541" is the same as "EN AW5754 H111" in a different technical drawing, where both represent aluminum sheet. This eliminates the need for manual translation or cross-referencing, saving time and resources while ensuring consistency in material identification across different suppliers and partners. Werk24's continuous learning and updating of its system also ensures that it stays up to date with the latest changes in material standards, relieving the burden of keeping track of updates and modifications from the users.
Simplifying Surface Roughness Parameters with N-Grades
Surface roughness parameters are critical in determining the quality and performance of a material. However, the various parameters and their different units of measurement can be overwhelming for manufacturers. Werk24's AI simplifies this complexity by converting surface roughness parameters to N-Grades. You can review the details of N-Grades in our previous article. This simplification of surface roughness parameters using N-Grades can significantly improve efficiency and standardize the manufacturing processes, reducing the chances of errors and discrepancies. You can find the table of N-Grades below:
Do's and Don'ts for the Best Practices
When it comes to sourcing components based on drawings, clarity is vital. Avoid coffee stains, missing parts, overlapping sectionals, over-dimensioned drawings, or sectionals touching the frame, as these can cause friction in the sourcing process. Best practices include correctly positioning dimensions and title blocks in the model area. You can find additional Do’s and Don'ts in our previous articles. Following these do's and don'ts will ensure smooth communication with manufacturers, save time and costs, and streamline your sourcing process.
By leveraging Werk24's AI-powered standardization capabilities, manufacturers can streamline their manufacturing processes and ensure consistency in material identification and surface roughness parameters across different technical drawings. The standardization in material identification and surface roughness parameters ensures that products are manufactured according to the desired specifications, reducing the chances of product failures, rework, or quality issues. This can ultimately result in improved product quality, increased customer satisfaction, and reduced production costs.
