Auto Ballooning for Engineering Drawings (First Article Inspection)
Annotation time cut from 2-4 hours to under 5 minutes per sheet, with AS9102 and PPAP-compliant inspection reports generated automatically
An aerospace and precision manufacturing firm was spending 2 to 4 hours manually ballooning each engineering drawing
- Missed and duplicate balloon numbers caused inspection records to fail compliance checks.
- As a result, re-inspection cycles delayed the submission of First Article Inspection (FAI) reports.
ADEOS extracts dimensions from engineering drawings. The dimensions are sequentially ballooned, and the inspection sheets are exported in AS9102- and PPAP-compliant formats.
- Accepts PDF, scanned image, and CAD export formats within the same workflow.
- Parses dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, surface finish callouts, datum references, and notes.
- Creates a checklist that lists each balloon with its type, nominal value, and tolerance.
- Flags outputs below confidence threshold for human review.
| Impact Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
Annotation Time | 2–4 hrs | ~3 mins |
Drawing Throughput | 10/day | 100/day |
Manual QC | 100% | 10% |
ADEOS streamlines FAI sheet generation into a single workflow, increasing quality team productivity by 3–5×.
