Automated BOM Extraction for a Global Fleet of 700 Vessels
Procurement lead time faster by 36x, BOM review accuracy improved to 94%, and 36,000+ manual entry hours eliminated annually across a 700-vessel fleet
A global marine organization managing 700 vessels struggled to extract Bill of Material (BOM) for engineering drawings and manuals for their fleet maintenance
- Every time a maintenance request was raised to the procurement team, they had to search through the vessel data folders to locate the required items and vendor details.
- A single procurement request took three to four weeks to process, which slowed down the entire fleet maintenance cycle.
Adeos extracts BOM and required information from engineering drawings and manuals, formatting and exporting the data directly to the MDM ERP system.
- Supports multiple international engineering drawing standards, including Korean, Japanese, and Chinese formats.
- The output template adjusts based on the vessel type and its applicable standards, or any other format the team requests.
- A confidence score is assigned to every record, and the procurement team only reviews items that fall below 70% confidence.
- A feedback loop built into the system also improves extraction accuracy over time as human reviewers correct the flagged outputs.
| Impact Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
Processing time per vessel | 3–8 weeks | 48-60 hours |
Extraction accuracy | N/A (no automated baseline) | 90–94.2% |
Manual data entry time | ~3,200 hours/month | ~160 hours/month |
Every extracted record is assigned with a confidence score. Anything below 70% is flagged for human review, and a feedback loop continuously improves accuracy as reviewers/procurement team correct flagged outputs. This keeps the team focused on exceptions and not all processed data
