What is Hacadly Drawing & Design Knowledge AI?

Hacadly Drawing & Design Knowledge AI is a search and knowledge platform that uses AI to structure the drawings and technical documents held inside your company, so the information you need is instantly at hand.

Facing These Challenges?

1

Past drawings cannot be found

Drawings are scattered across shared folders and PDM systems, and without knowing the part number or the file name there is no way to reach the one you want.

2

Designing from scratch when a similar design already exists

Search options are limited, so existing designs go unnoticed and the same design work gets done twice.

3

Generative AI looks useful, but leaking information is a worry

Confidential design information is hard to put into cloud-based AI, so AI adoption for technical information never gets off the ground.

Hacadly solves these challenges.

Service Details

AI Similar Drawing Search

Searches the 2D drawings and 3D CAD data already held in your company and finds similar drawings with high accuracy. On-premises deployment is supported, so even highly confidential design data can be handled with confidence.

Design AI Platform

Connects generative AI with your CAD, drawings and internal documents, then searches across all of them to gather and present the information behind an engineer's question.

Features

iCAD SX SOLIDWORKS + Other CAD systems and custom environments supported

Works in a range of CAD environments

Installed as an add-in to the CAD you already use, so your engineers keep working in their usual design environment.

Ingests your own design knowledge

Design standards, technical documents, past drawings and other information accumulated in house are ingested as the AI knowledge base, so searches and answers follow your own criteria and terminology.

A secure on-premises environment

Confidential design data never leaves your company. Everything runs securely inside your own environment.

See the search accuracy on your own drawings and documents.

Use it to check search accuracy on your drawings and documents, and to validate before rollout.

Results

Drawing search time cut from 30 minutes to about 5

Construction machinery manufacturer

Drop in a drawing PDF and similar drawings come back instantly, dramatically streamlining the search work behind design reuse decisions and supplier selection.

An AI search platform built on a private cloud

Industrial machinery manufacturer / 50 design engineers

A search platform was built on a private cloud that keeps data inside the company, making roughly 3,000 internal documents searchable in one place.

How It Works

STEP1

Mapping the target data and the problem

We review where your drawings, 3D models and technical documents are stored, in what formats, at what volume, and how they are searched today.

STEP2

Search validation with sample data

Using a subset of your drawings and documents, we check the accuracy of text search, similar-shape search and natural language search.

STEP3

Designing security and system architecture

We settle on the architecture, whether on-premises, cloud or a closed network, to fit your security policy and existing systems.

STEP4

Data integration and environment build-out

We build out data ingestion, access permissions, the search interface and CAD integration.

STEP5

Rollout and expansion of target data

Watching how the platform is actually used, we expand the departments, drawings, documents and connected systems step by step.

We will show you how to put the drawing and design information sitting idle in your company to work

Whether you want to search past drawings by shape, run generative AI on-premises, search design standards and nonconformity records in one place, or surface the information you need while working in CAD, we start from your current data environment and security requirements and propose the right way to introduce it.
