QUESTION & ANSWER

AI Quotation from Drawing and Bom

AI can assist in reading the drawing title bar, materials, dimensions, public transport, quantity and BOM fields, retrieve historical processes and projects and generate drafts of proposals that require confirmation. Complex processes, manufacturing, wear and tear, equipment capacity, external bargaining, quality requirements and handover risk usually require professional judgement. A more reliable option is AI to analyse and match, professional rules and cost systems to calculate, and engineers to identify critical processes and anomalies.

Answer the question.

First, give conclusions that can be used for decision-making

The automatic offer depends on the standardization of the drawings, product type and cost model. A clearly structured BOM and standard parts are easier to map automatically; two-dimensional drawings, scans and complex three-dimensional models may require a dedicated analysis, OCR or CAD interface. The system first extracts the material, specifications, quantity, transport, surface processing and delivery requirements, and the tags do not confirm the fields; then the costs are based on equipment, process routes, material prices, working hours, wear and tear, and external coordination rules.

DECISION FACTORS

What conditions need to be identified before judgement is made?

The same question may have different answers under different business, data and project phases. It is suggested that the following conditions be checked and that the common findings on the web be incorporated into their own projects.

The image and BOM format are stable, machine readableProducts are standard, machine or complex engineering programmesStructure process route, equipment capacity and cost dataWho is responsible for professional judgement and quotations?
ACTION STEPS

Suggested order of advance

01

First, we'll be clear about the target and the border.

Collects real drawings in different formats and difficulties with BOM.

02

Validation Key Dependence

Defines the automatic extraction of fields and the requirement of manual confirmation of content.

03

Development of assessable outcomes

(c) rules for connecting processes, materials, equipment, hours of work and costs.

04

Make sure you decide the next step with the real results.

Open drafts, semi-automatic or automatic quotations according to product risk classification.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

How do you understand it in the actual business?

Example used to illustrate the method of judgement

In machine processing queries, the system can extract materials, quantities and major sizes, match similar parts and estimate material usage; but when drawings contain special heat treatment, extremely narrow mass differentials or no indicated detection criteria, they should be clearly listed as an item to be confirmed, supplemented by process engineers, rather than allowing models to be extrapolated from historical texts. Examples do not represent the performance of a particular client, and actual conclusions need to be verified in conjunction with the enterprise’s own business volume, sample, system and liability boundaries.

COMMON RISKS

The easiest pit to step on.

Only a few clear standard drawings are verified and claim to support all formats

Copy similar historical offers directly to the current item

Ignore professional differences in process, equipment, loss, quality and delivery

ACCEPTANCE

How should we end up receiving and confirming?

The extracts, BOM maps, process recommendations, costing and manual modifications are measured by type of drawing and risk; each amount can be traced back to materials, processes, working hours and rules, and the suspension of offers is imposed on unjudgeable or high-risk conditions.

When preparing to communicate with suppliers or internal teams, it is recommended that current processes, representative samples, existing systems, planning time and budget levels be brought. First, the unknown items are clearly marked, and then the decision is made to use diagnostics, PoC, fixed-range projects or ongoing research and development, which is usually more reliable than a direct demand for a price and duration without borders.

Your project conditions are different from the examples above?

Operational objectives, existing systems, sample and planned time could be collated before consultants could make preliminary judgements in relation to actual boundaries.
