aReader
AI applied to reading and structuring technical drawings for industry. From technical drawing to structured data, ready to quote.
How much does it cost to turn a technical drawing into a quote?
Industrial suppliers receive 2D technical drawings and must turn them into data before they can even prepare a quote.
- Interpret drawings
- Structure the BoM
- Identify part numbers
- Identify components
- Check internal databases
- Prepare data for quoting
Engineering time and cost, with no guarantee of an order.
All this work happens before there is any guarantee that the quote will become an order.
