“Automation could never extract complex data like tolerance values from engineering drawings.”
If you’ve ever said, thought, or heard this, you're not alone. Nearly every engineering, manufacturing, or construction team we meet starts with the same belief, usually after difficult attempts with OCR tools or years of painstaking manual work.
And honestly, we understand why.
When engineering drawing data accuracy affects product quality, safety, compliance, and cost, no one wants to trust the wrong system. That’s why most teams fall into one of two groups:
- You tried OCR and gave up: It misread symbols, missed tolerances, and created more correction work than value.
- You never tried automation at all: You assumed no system could interpret drawings this complex, and with older technology, that was true.
But here’s what most teams don’t realize: Modern vision AI, deep-learning models, and multimodal extraction have completely changed the game. Infrrd brings this entire stack of breakthrough technology into our IDP model, built specifically for engineering drawings, enabling it to read tolerances, GD&T, dimensions, notes, symbols, and callouts with a level of accuracy that finally makes automation truly reliable.
And we’re not just making claims. These results come directly from real manufacturing and construction teams who once doubted automation, and now rely on it every day. Their full stories and outcomes are detailed inside this eBook.
Inside, you'll also discover:
- The real workflow challenges engineers face today
- Why older automation tools failed, and why modern AI succeeds
- How today’s systems extract highly detailed values with precision
- The efficiency and quality gains that follow automation
- Stories from teams who doubted automation until they saw it firsthand
