What is the PDF Reader and how does it work?
PDF Reader is a powerful tool for automatically extracting technical data from 2D drawings in PDF format. In the manufacturing industry, technical drawings often contain essential information that is required for preparing quotations, work preparation and production planning. These normally have to be read out manually – a time-consuming and error-prone process.
The PDF Reader uses artificial intelligence and image recognition to precisely analyze drawing content. It extracts dimensions, tolerances, threads, fits, material specifications and surface treatments and structures them automatically. This allows companies to integrate technical data directly into their systems without employees having to manually review the PDFs.
Thanks to API integration, the extracted data can be seamlessly transferred to ERP, CAD or manufacturing systems. The PDF Reader therefore speeds up processes, reduces human error and ensures more efficient digital production.
What data can the PDF Reader extract from technical drawings?
Technical dimensions and tolerances
The PDF Reader automatically recognizes and extracts technical dimensions such as lengths, diameters and radii from technical drawings. It also records tolerance values (e.g. ±0.01 mm), which are crucial for manufacturing accuracy. This information is essential for quality assurance and precise quotation calculation.
Thread and fitting information
Thread and fit specifications are often only contained in technical drawings. The PDF Reader automatically recognizes thread types, sizes and fits (e.g. H7). This information is crucial for production, as it largely determines the production tolerances and machining requirements, especially for high-precision components.
Material and surface specifications
Material information is essential for the calculation and processing of a component. The PDF Reader extracts information such as steel, aluminium or plastic as well as surface treatments (e.g. anodizing, powder coating). This data helps with the selection of the right manufacturing processes and the calculation of material costs.
Drawing numbers and component names
Drawing numbers and component names are essential for the identification and management of components. The PDF Reader automatically recognizes this metadata and enables structured storage and processing in ERP or PLM systems. This allows production processes to be organized more efficiently and documentation to be simplified.
How to integrate the PDF Reader seamlessly into your system
Automatic transfer of the extracted data
The PDF reader automatically transfers extracted drawing data to digital systems, eliminating the need for manual input. Dimensions, tolerances and material specifications are provided in a structured manner, which optimizes quotation calculation and production planning. This saves time, reduces errors and improves process reliability.
Integration into ERP and CAD systems
Thanks to the API, the PDF Reader can be seamlessly integrated into existing ERP and CAD systems. Technical drawing data is transferred directly into workflows so that companies can create quotations faster, calculate material requirements and control production processes more efficiently – without manual data transfer.
