Does your engineering office waste entire weeks counting parts and meters of material on PDF blueprints to send a quote to a B2B client?
For a machining, metalwork, or engineering company, calculating project costs is a challenge. Clients send complex, flattened PDF blueprints. Your estimation team has to review them line by line, counting how many screws, beams, or meters of cable are needed to create the Bill of Materials (BOM). This process is so slow that, often, by the time you finally send the quote, the client has already closed the deal with a faster competitor.
The trap of Standard OCR Readers
To try to speed up the process, some companies buy basic Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. However, these tools are blind to geometry: they do not understand symbols, dimensions, or isometric views, returning a chaos of meaningless scattered letters. Forcing a senior engineer to manually count parts with a digital highlighter is the biggest waste of technical talent in your company.
Our solution: Technical Extraction and BOM AI Engine
At LANZA ESTUDIO, we turn your clients' PDFs into structured data instantly. We train an ultra-efficient multimodal Artificial Intelligence engine (based on Gemini 2.5 Flash) capable of understanding technical documentation and visual engineering just like an expert human estimator would.
- Multimodal Computer Vision: The AI analyzes the entire PDF or image blueprint, understanding the relationship between the title block, technical views, and inserted summary tables.
- Structured Extraction (BOM): The model mathematically identifies and extracts part numbers, quantities, materials, and measurements, generating a clean and categorized Bill of Materials.
- ERP Cross-Referencing: The system connects that extracted list with your warehouse database, identifying which parts you have in stock and which ones you need to order from suppliers.
- Base Quote Generation: Finally, the AI cross-references the quantities with your pricing and generates a draft quote in your CRM, ready for the engineer to simply review and send.
The Real Impact on your Engineering Office
- Quotes in Hours, Not Weeks: You reduce a days-long job to a matter of minutes, allowing you to respond to B2B tenders first and multiply your chances of winning the contract.
- Zero Material Omissions: By eliminating human visual fatigue, you avoid the classic mistake of forgetting to count expensive components that later destroy the project's profit margin.
- Engineering Time Recovery: You free your most qualified technicians from robotic administrative tasks, focusing their brains on optimizing designs and solving real manufacturing problems.
