Text Recognition Model Now Live
Today we are releasing a major update to OpenDrawing's text recognition engine. The new model delivers significantly improved accuracy on handwritten annotations and legacy typed schematics, reducing manual correction time by 80% on archives that previously required the most review effort.
Mechanical construction cost estimating software is a category of engineering technology that automates the quantification, pricing, and bid preparation of mechanical systems by extracting structured data from engineering drawings and converting it into actionable cost models. As of July 2026, the m
Electrical construction cost estimating software is a category of digital tools that automates the quantification, pricing, and bid preparation process for electrical projects by extracting structured data from engineering drawings, bill-of-materials lists, and component databases. As of July 2026,
Automated electrical takeoff for switchgear manufacturers is an AI-driven process that extracts component lists, specifications, and part numbers directly from engineering drawings, replacing the manual interpretation of single-line diagrams, schematic drawings, and assembly prints with structured,
Digitization consulting for electric utilities is a specialized discipline that transforms static electrical schematics, P&ID diagrams, relay panel drawings, and scanned paper records into structured, machine-readable data that feeds digital twins, asset management systems, and automated cost estima
The practical answer: organizations with drawing archives spanning 20 to 60 years can automate symbol recognition, component identification, and specification extraction using computer vision and OCR pipelines, achieving 90% symbol recognition accuracy and cutting manual labeling time by 83% compare
P&ID diagram digitization in oil and gas is the process of converting static piping and instrumentation drawings from paper, microfilm, or PDF format into structured, machine-readable data that engineering and operations systems can query, update, and act on automatically.
Electrical schematic digitization for asset management is the process of converting static engineering drawings, including legacy PDFs, scanned paper schematics, and P&ID diagrams, into structured machine-readable data that feeds directly into asset registers, digital twins, and operations technolog
Engineering diagram digitization software is a class of AI-powered tools that converts static electrical schematics, P&ID diagrams, and scanned engineering drawings into structured, machine-readable data formats such as JSON, CSV, and API-accessible records for use in digital twins, asset management
