Importance of Data Quality in Manufacturing through Artificial Intelligence
Harnessing high-quality manufacturing data through AI: Experience Werk24's transformative approach to data extraction from technical drawings in the digital age.
Werk24 Explains the Improvement Process for Success
In a competitive manufacturing market, continuous improvement is the backbone of success. Werk24's unique improvement process, grounded in specific industry needs, ensures top-tier results and ongoing enhancement.
Werk24: A Game Changer for Automated Data Extraction from Technical Drawings
Using AI, Werk24 extracts data from technical drawings. It ensures speed, consistency, the elimination of language barriers, and standardization of drawings for streamlined processes.
Extracting Data from a Technical Drawing: Not a Cake-Walk!
Werk24 challenges you to extract the drawing's bounding box automatically in order to demonstrate why it is difficult to read. Work with Werk24 to skip difficult data extraction steps and concentrate on development. Today is the day to begin saving.
Werk24 Is Now an Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing Member
Werk24 is now working with one of the most important institutions, the Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing (ACAM), to find ways to use digitalization and new technologies to make businesses more sustainable. ACAM is an institute that builds a digitalized industrial ecosystem to study the changing trends and business strategies in the "Additive Manufacturing" industries. Werk24 is now a member of the organization that helps ACAM to innovate Additive Manufacturing on a global scale with its Additive Analysis solution.
Werk24 Now Reads Variant Table
A variant table is used to classify comparable components and display them on a single drawing. These components may only differ in length, diameter, number, etc. Engineers can design a single drawing template that can be used for multiple comparable elements. Werk24 can now automatically read these Variant Tables and lets you to store variant information in a systematic manner, avoiding complexity.
Werk24 Understands Thread Elements from Technical Drawings
Manufacturers or data analysts struggle with complicated Technical/ CAD Drawings' Thread annotation. Werk24's AI can now interpret basic and detailed threads and deliver a structured output that contains all parameters. Werk24 reads thread dimensions in detail and calculates Standard Pitch Values in autmatically. Werk24 accelerates manufacturing processes and reduces lead time without human reading errors.
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.
Werk24 Now Reads Break Lines from Technical Drawings
Break lines are used to reduce a long section view in technical drawings, although they are complex. Werk24's technology analyzes measurements like Break Lines from technical drawings and creates a proportional guess based on pixels. Werk24's Artificial Intelligence understands the break lines automatically and evaluates if a dimension is out of scale and verifies a break line view.
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.
Extraction of Product Manufacturing Information (PMI)
Engineers strive hard while manually obtaining Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) from a variety of technical designs, which is time-consuming and inaccurate. Fortunately, Werk24 has developed cutting-edge technology for extracting PMI from complex engineering drawings and providing Product Owners with a simple sheet that automatically populates with all the data they need. Under favour of AI, parts are formed automatically into the structured output format.
Extracting Post Processing Steps from Technical Drawings
When the Post-Processing Steps are done, the mechanical component manufacture is complete. Using a traditional method such as OCR, it can be difficult to identify and categorize these mechanical components for numerous Post-Processing Steps. Fortunately, Werk24 extracts the post-processing methods from technical drawings automatically (e.g. cleaning or polishing ) every day by improving the detection of different classification methods. By reading thousands of drawings, Werk24 generates a thorough report that categorizes all of your components and suggests the best methods for Post-Processing Steps.
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.
Extracting Technical Drawings Data to Excel Sheet
Product owners in the manufacturing industry must grasp the information in technical drawings as engineers in order to attribute value to the business aspect. They may access the technical drawing information using Excel Sheets, the most common format in business, rather than an engineering file text editor, thanks to Werk24. Artificial intelligence in Werk24 scans complex drawings and automatically generates detailed Excel Sheet information.
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.
Werk24 Supports Nested Drawings
The material information is given twice in Nested Drawings, which are multi-layered technical drawings. In the manufacturing industry, Nested Drawings can lead to process inconsistencies. Werk24's Artificial Intelligence enables for automatic reading and comparison of given data using cutting-edge technology. By reducing misunderstanding, automation of these procedures can considerably boost productivity.
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.
Werk24 is Mentioned by “Paul Kühn” as a Digitization Solution
On his blog, Der Obermachinist Paul Kühn mentioned the potential of utilizing Werk24's artificial intelligence to automate the RFQ process for manufacturers.
KREATIZE Applies Werk24 Technology to Auto-Process Drawings
KREATIZE employs Werk24's Artificial Intelligence to identify cost factors within incoming technical drawings and automate internal processes.
