Manufacturing

AI automation for mechanical engineering.

Every quote is one of a kind. Every calculation costs hours. We automate quoting processes, technical documentation and quality reports, integrated into your existing IT, with no parallel systems.

The bottleneck in mechanical engineering: every quote is one of a kind.

Five time sinks that every mid-sized machine builder knows.

Calculation with high variance

Every inquiry has customer-specific requirements. The calculation drags on for days, back and forth between engineering, procurement and sales. The end result is a quote that took weeks.

Calculation in minutes instead of days

Technical documentation

Operating manuals, CE conformity, maintenance documentation, often in three languages. Manually copied together from previous projects and adapted by hand.

Automatic documentation from CAD & master data

Translations for export customers

Every technical change has to be translated. Agencies take weeks, online tools get technical terms wrong.

Terminology-safe translation

Quality reports and complaints

Analyzing complaint causes, writing reports, informing customers, each one drafted by hand. Pattern recognition across multiple cases barely happens.

Structured complaint analysis

Material demand forecasting

Procurement plans on gut feeling and Excel history. The result: either tied-up capital in the warehouse or supply shortages when lead times are long.

Data-driven demand forecasting

Tender analysis

Going through bills of quantities with 200+ line items by hand, extracting the relevant points, evaluating them. Several working days per tender.

Tender analysis in hours instead of days

What we automate in mechanical engineering, concretely.

Quoting assistant

A customer inquiry comes in by email or PDF, the AI reads the specifications, matches them against your master database, and produces a calculation draft with line items, prices and lead time. Sales reviews and sends.

Bill-of-quantities parser for tenders

Bills of quantities from public tenders or industrial customer orders are structured automatically, relevant line items are flagged, and deviations from your standard portfolio are detected.

Technical documentation

Operating manuals, assembly instructions and maintenance documents are generated from master data and CAD models, multilingual, with versioning and CE conformity notes.

Terminology-aware translation

Technical documents are translated into target languages using your company-specific terminology. No mistranslated technical terms.

Complaint clustering

Customer complaints are categorized automatically and analyzed for recurring patterns. You can see where a systematic problem exists, not just isolated cases.

Material demand forecasting

Historical order patterns, current order book and seasonality feed into an automatic forecast for procurement. Less tied-up capital, fewer shortages.

Maintenance reports from service data

Service technicians dictate reports right on site, the AI structures them, fills in mandatory fields, and produces customer-ready PDFs.

Standard correspondence

Delivery date inquiries, invoice queries, status updates to customers, generated automatically from your ERP and presented for approval.

A typical case from mechanical engineering.

Mid-sized machine builder, 120 employees

A supplier in machine-tool manufacturing producing customer-specific solutions. Before the project: every quote cost an average of 6 hours of sales time plus 4 hours of engineering time. At 40 quotes per month, that added up to 400 hours of pure quoting effort, and the hit rate was 18%.

After the rollout: the AI reads incoming inquiries, pulls data from SAP and the existing SolidWorks models, and produces a calculation draft. Sales reviews and completes it, averaging 45 minutes per quote. The engineering time is eliminated for 70% of inquiries, because they are variants of modules that have already been calculated.

Everything from a single source.

Consulting

We analyze your quoting and documentation processes, together with engineering, sales and procurement. A concrete list: what pays off, and what to do first.

Development

We build the solution to fit your ERP, CAD and data model. Pilot live in weeks, not months.

Operations

After go-live we stay on board. Monitoring, adjustments, training for your team.

How a project runs with us.

01

Process analysis

Two days on site with your departments. A clear list of the biggest levers.

02

Pilot project

One concrete use case (e.g. a quoting assistant) live in 4-6 weeks.

03

Integration

Connecting to SAP, CAD and existing data, no parallel worlds.

04

Scaling

Rolling out further use cases from your priority list.

Questions from mechanical engineering.

Yes. The AI does not replace your engineering, it uses your existing master data, past calculations and module libraries to produce a draft. Your sales team reviews it and adds whatever is genuinely new. 70-80% of the time is eliminated.
Yes, we work with SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One and older ERP versions. The AI accesses master data, order history and calculations through documented interfaces (RFC, OData, iDoc). No extra databases, no parallel systems.
CAD files (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Siemens NX, Creo) stay in your existing environment. The AI reads metadata, bills of materials and drawing information via defined export formats (STEP, IGES, PDF) or direct interfaces.
We use your company-specific terminology database. Terms that have a specific meaning in your organization are translated correctly. For safety-critical documents (CE marking, Machinery Directive) we recommend a two-stage sign-off by your specialists.
A pilot for one use case (e.g. a quoting assistant) runs between 5,000 and 15,000 € depending on scope, and the upfront AI potential analysis (2,500 €) is fully credited against it. Ongoing operation afterwards is a fixed monthly fee. We name a concrete range in the first conversation.
Yes. No sharing with third parties, no use for training public AI models, a full data processing agreement. On request, EU data processing, German hosting or on-premise in your own data center, depending on the requirements of your IT and data protection officer.

Let's talk for 30 minutes.

By the end you'll know whether AI automation pays off for your mechanical engineering business, and if so, where the best entry point is.
