Challenge

Relevant information begins in the drawing, is evaluated in the quote and reveals its real impact only in production.

We connect these layers in one system: AI extracts technical requirements, the calculator structures the quote, and machine data provides the basis for continuous analysis and optimization.

From request to line

One data model for calculation and production.

Planning data and actual runtime information become usable along the same process.

  1. 01

    Request & drawing

    Technical documents provide the starting point for effort and process planning.

  2. 02Drawing AI

    AI extraction

    Relevant component and surface requirements are captured as structured data.

  3. 03

    Quote calculation

    The extracted data feeds a transparent and reproducible calculation logic.

  4. 04

    Anodizing production

    Order and process data are connected with captured machine logs.

  5. 05Live data

    Real-time analysis

    Runtimes and process events are analyzed and made usable for optimization.

The process

In anodizing, the component, alloy, pretreatment and required surface affect the process. Robust calculation therefore needs technical requirements and real production logic in the same data model.

From drawing to quote

AI-based extraction turns relevant information from technical drawings into structured data. The quote calculator turns it into a fast, transparent and repeatable workflow.

Production as feedback loop

Machine logs reveal actual runtimes and process events. Real-time analysis supports ongoing production, while its insights can improve future quotes and planning.

Result

A continuous automation is emerging that combines quoting knowledge and real production data for better decisions.
