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.
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.
Additive Part Identification Using 2D Drawings
ASME is debating a topic that Werk24 is tackling. The criteria for determining if engineering drawings are suitable for 3D printing should be applied. Werk24's Artificial Intelligence is capable of deciphering technical drawings and delivering organized distribution of essential production data.
Extraction of Surface Roughness Symbol from Technical Drawings
Surface Roughness extraction from technical drawings is a time-consuming yet required activity in many work preparation processes. Werk24's Artificial Intelligence extracts this data automatically and is familiar with ISO and ANSI standards. This future technology, which replaces the traditional OCR technology, will significantly increase productivity.
DiManEx and Werk24 Partnership
DiManEx, the industry standard in end-to-end Additive Manufacturing platforms, has partnered with Werk24, the industry leader in artificial intelligence for technical drawings, to speed up the process of going digital.
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.
Analyzing Technical Drawings for Additive Manufacturing with Werk24
Werk24 assists in your transition to Additive Manufacturing (AM) by assessing technical drawings for AM feasibility and suggesting the optimal AM technology.
Enabling Process Automation with Technical Drawings
Use Werk24's AI to process Technical Drawings in your Robotic Process Automation (RPA) flow. Reads your drawings and returns structured results ready to use.
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.
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.
Read Title Block from Technical Drawings Intelligently
Werk24's TechRead API automatically extracts essential data from the Title Block of Technical Drawings, including Designation, Drawing ID, Material, General Tolerance, and the Revision Table. We will assure actionable data is functional for all your business purposes without delay.
