Auto Ballooning and Weld Dimension Extraction for Automotive Manufacturing

When vehicle designs changed, the manufacturer struggled to update production processes on time. Engineering, welding, and quality teams each needed different data points from the same drawings, but extracting and collating the data manually delayed production handoffs.

• Engineers spent hours checking multi-page drawings and comparing revisions before sharing updates with production teams.
• Welding engineers manually calculated joint dimensions from weld symbols, slowing down welding setup.
• FAI reports for customer audits required quality engineers to manually balloon the engineering drawings.
• Multiple departments manually copied drawing dimensions into separate spreadsheets, leading to inconsistent data and repeated verification across departments.

ADEOS extracts key data points directly from engineering drawings and makes it available to different teams in a structured format. This helped each department get the drawing information it needed without having to read through the files and enter the details manually.

• Extracts dimensions, tolerances, datums, and assembly details for manufacturing and production lines.
• Identifies weld symbols, joint angles, and weld sizes to support welding setup for the welding department.
• Auto balloons drawings and prepares First Article Inspection (FAI) reports for the quality department.
• Shares updated drawing information across all three teams when revisions are made, reducing confusion between old and new versions.
