Differentiators
- —Converts engineering documents into structured models that can drive CAD drawings, BOMs, terminal tables, and P&IDs
- —Supports customer VPC / on-prem deployment for sensitive industrial data
- —Uses a knowledge graph that links drawings, datasheets, and other documents by tag/equipment node
- —Advertises chain-of-memory retrieval with evidence citations for long-document QA
- —Offers AI-assisted validation for connectivity, classification, and numerical checks
- —Targets design-rule checking, simulation, and design-for-X workflows rather than generic document search
