Automated Comparison of Customer Drawings and Recreated CAD Files

A wind turbine manufacturing company recreated customer drawings as internal CAD files to make data usable for manufacturing, analysis, and quality control.

• Quality engineers had to manually verify between 50 and 150 dimensions for every recreated CAD file, which took two to three hours per drawing pair.
• In dense drawing sections, up to 10 percent of dimensions were not checked, and release cycles were delayed as a result.

ADEOS extracts dimensions from both customer drawings and internal CAD files, allowing the comparison engine to evaluate differences and flag missing details.

• The matching engine identifies value mismatches, tolerance errors, and missing dimensions.
• Handles both the original customer drawings and the internally recreated CAD files, regardless of source format.
• Engineers receive a side-by-side visual report where discrepancies are flagged by color, so their review is limited to anomalies only.
• Each flagged discrepancy carries a confidence score, so review concentrates on the comparisons ADEOS is least certain about.
