Werk24 Extracts Information from Scanned Drawings

Do you ever experience frustration when trying to read the title blocks in your technical drawings? The poor quality of the frames in the scanned drawings can make it challenging to understand crucial information. But don't worry - we have the solution.  

Let's start with what the title blocks generally look like and why we need them. Title blocks provide a variety of information about a drawing, such as the title of the drawing, sheet size, company logo, name, address, etc. Readers need to understand what is written in the title block of technical drawings to avoid time-wasting or inefficient work. When the title blocks cannot be read: the drawing may be misidentified without correct information.    

While each company has its unique style for creating technical drawings, this can lead to various title block formats. Some older or scanned drawings may have low-quality title blocks. The inability to distinguish the title block frames can lead to the problems described above. 

Low Quality or Scanned Drawings 

Old or scanned technical drawings can have low image quality and title block frames may not be distinct as given in the example:

This is a common problem when working with technical drawings from multiple companies. But don't let low quality title blocks hold you back! With the right solution, you can say goodbye to the frustration and improve the data quality of your technical drawings.
