Dimension Extraction and Welding Calculations for Power Boiler Manufacturing
One extraction workflow distributed to 3 departments, reducing per-drawing review from days to hours across a 50–100 drawing project cycle.
A supercritical boiler project generates 50 to 100 weld detail drawings. Design & Engineering, Manufacturing, and Procurement teams each reviewed every drawing independently with no shared workflow.
- Procurement extracted dimensions from the drawings, and applied welding formulas separately in spreadsheets.
- Design team recreated the drawings for internal use.
- Manufacturing team extracted key dimensions for machining, QA and inspection.
ADEOS extracts dimensional data from vendor drawings, while an automated processing pipeline applies the formula library to generate department-specific outputs.
- Dimensions are extracted once and distributed to Design & Engineering, Manufacturing, and Procurement in each department's required format.
- Accepts vendor drawings in both native CAD exports and scanned PDF formats within the same pipeline.
- Welding consumption and material weight formulas are configured in the calculation pipeline and applied automatically once ADEOS-extracted dimensions are mapped.
- Teams review and confirm dimension-to-formula mapping only for drawings where automated mapping is ambiguous.
- Consolidated dimension and formula outputs are delivered as structured Excel workbooks per department, ready for direct use without reformatting.
| Impact Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
Review Duplication | 3× | 1× |
Extraction Time | 2–5 days | 4–8 hrs |
Formula Application | 10–20 mins | <1 min |
ADEOS standardizes engineering documents into structured, reusable data. Sharing one verified list directly with manufacturing, planning, and quality teams removes double-checking.
