Intelligence, not storage
Legacy PDMs and modern cloud PLMs both stop at storing your files. EIS picks up where they leave off — turning your drawings, specs, and decisions into structured, queryable engineering knowledge.
Meet e-Pilot
The AI assistant wired into every feature below.
On it — here's the plan:
Natural Language Commands
Describe what you want in plain English. e-Pilot translates your intent into data exchanges with your CAD, PDM, and documentation tools.
Bi-Directional Tool Integration
EIS connects to 10+ CAD and PDM tools — AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor, Revit — ingesting artifacts and writing back updated BOMs, drawings, and reports. Your tools stay, your data stays in sync.
Private RAG on Your Knowledge Base
EIS indexes your standards, past projects, and tribal documents into a private vector store. e-Pilot answers and acts with your domain context — your IP never leaves your tenant, never trains a foundation model.
Design Iteration Loops
Automate revision cycles. e-Pilot applies requirement changes, regenerates drawings, and re-checks compliance until targets are met.
The Engineering Lifecycle
From Requirements to Validation — Product Design at the Core
Every stage of engineering, unified around CAD. Requirements flow in, validated drawings flow out — with compliance, documents, and version control built in.
How EIS Compares
Cloud PDMs store your files. Legacy PDM locks you in for 12 months. EIS automates the full lifecycle — across the CAD and PDM tools you already use.
| Capability | EIS |
|---|---|
End-to-end lifecycle automation (spec → BOM → compliance → docs) | Multi-agent, end-to-end |
Private RAG on your knowledge base | Per-tenant vector store |
Data sovereignty (your IP stays in your tenant) | Single-tenant, no model training |
Temporal ontology & decision journal | Time-aware relations + reasoning |
Natural-language automation triggers | |
Time to deploy | Days |
BOM extraction from drawings | |
AI compliance checking vs. standards | |
Requirements extraction from specs | |
Bi-directional CAD & PDM integration | Real-time sync |
Keep your existing CAD & PDM tools |
A Living Engineering Ontology
EIS is more than a file store. It's a three-layer system that captures your artifacts, understands their relationships, and lets an agent act on them — all indexed privately in your tenant, never training a foundation model.
Extract from your drawings. Reconcile across every system.
A multimodal pipeline that extracts BOMs from 2D drawings and 3D models, then reconciles them against your ERP, procurement records, and customer free-issue lists. Mismatches caught before they reach the workshop — every change tracked for your CE dossier.
Drawing says 4 motors, ERP shows 3 — flagged in seconds, not in the field. Wrong-part field failures and warranty claims drop to near-zero.
Engineers stop retyping nomenclatures. Procurement stops re-keying parts. Sales engineering quotes go out the same day, not next week.
Who edited what, when, and why — automatically journaled. Your CE Marking and Machinery Directive dossiers compile themselves.
No more 'which BOM is right?' Mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, customer free-issue, and ERP — all reconciled into one canonical view.
From drawing annotations to engineering memory
Linear, angular, radial and ordinate dimensions. GD&T with full symbol dictionary. Surface finish, thread specs, tolerances and fits. Each annotation becomes a linked node in your knowledge graph — traced to the requirement that asked for it, the standard that constrains it, and the past decisions that shaped it. The same structured output also feeds CAM, ERP and quoting downstream.
{ "drawing_id": "DWG-4827-A", "title_block": { "drawing_number": "4827-A", "material": "AISI 316L", "general_tolerance": "ISO 2768-mK" }, "pmi_items": [ { "pmi_type": "dimension_linear", "value": "120 ±0.05", "linked_requirement": "R-12", "linked_standard": "ISO 286", "confidence": 0.95 }, { "pmi_type": "tolerance_gdt", "gdt_symbol": "⊥", "value": "0.02", "linked_decision": "dec-3942", "confidence": 0.95 }, { "pmi_type": "surface_finish", "value": "Ra 1.6", "linked_standard": "EN 1672-2", "confidence": 0.95 }, { "pmi_type": "thread", "value": "M8×1.25-6H", "linked_decision": "dec-2118", "confidence": 0.95 } ] }
Standards corpus and validation rules check every extracted dimension, tolerance, and material against EN ISO, Machinery Directive, and your own rules — before the drawing is released.
Search every project by PMI fingerprint — "M10 thread + 316L + Ra 0.8". Your senior engineer's tribal knowledge, instantly retrievable for the next design.
Auditor asks "why this tolerance?" — answer in one click. Each annotation links back to the customer requirement and the engineering decision that justified it.
Every dimension, tolerance, and finish becomes a searchable, versioned node in your ontology. The same data also feeds CAM, ERP and quoting downstream.
Specialized agents, orchestrated end-to-end
Specialized agents coordinate across your engineering workflow — parsing, reasoning, and drafting work that would otherwise eat hours of expert time. Handoffs between mechanical, electrical, automation, compliance and procurement happen in the background.
Engineers stay in the driver's seat — agents propose, you approve. The result: meaningful time and cost savings without sacrificing oversight on the decisions that matter.
Specs, drawings, and decisions flow between disciplines automatically. No more 'nobody told compliance' moments at the dossier review.
Dossier compilation, BOM rollup, rev tracking, requirement traceability — automated. Engineers go back to the work that needs their judgment.
A new CAD revision triggers BOM diff, compliance re-check, and requirement traceability — all automatically, every time. No more silent drift.
Agents run 24/7. Drop a 200-page spec at 6pm — requirements extracted, BOM reconciled, dossier draft ready by 9am. RFQs go out the same day.
