Work automation
4 notes

This cluster covers automation of knowledge work in manufacturing: quoting, engineering back office, order handling. We unpack drawing-to-offer, how AI extracts parameters from a drawing and prepares a preliminary quote, where accuracy breaks and how to slot it into an existing technical sales process. Honest note: AI handles ~70% of typical cases and frees engineers for the hard 30%, not the other way around.

FAQ

Will AI quote every drawing?
No, best on repeatable, standardised parts; unusual projects go to the engineer with a draft attached.
How does it fit our sales process?
As a pre-quote/qualification step before a human, cuts response time, doesn't replace the final offer.
How much does it shorten the cycle?
Depends on the process; biggest gain is response time to RFQs and less manual data re-typing.
