Metalworking industry
The challenge
Engineers spend up to four hours per quote interpreting and extracting dimensions and materials from PDFs. Slow turnaround loses deals and ties up expensive expertise.
Ramen AI's solution
We built an AI-Powered Drawing to Quote Assistant that reads technical drawings with OCR + LLM, calculates materials and machine time, and drops a draft quote into the ERP within minutes. This way sales can respond before competitors even start.
How we did it
Drawing ingestion – Upload PDF. OCR + vector analysis extract geometry and notes.
Bill-of-materials generation – Maps parts to raw material SKUs and machining processes (hours).
Cost & margin engine – Applies labour rates, mark-ups and discounts.
ERP sync & PDF output – Saves a draft in ERP/CRM and emails a branded quote PDF to the rep.
The results
>2400 engineer-hours saved per year (~ $150k) and response time cut from days to hours. Also boosting their win-rate by double-digit percentages, because of super quick replies to clients.
