What do you want to automate?
Pick the path that matches your goal — each one shows how Werk24 fits into your workflow.
Extract dimensions, tolerances and materials from incoming RFQs so your costing engine can price parts in seconds instead of hours.
See quoting automation →Procurement & Supply ChainI want to compare suppliersTurn drawings into searchable specs so you can match parts to the right supplier based on capabilities, tolerances and materials.
See supplier matching →ERP & Master Data TeamsI want to clean up our ERP intakePopulate material masters and BOMs directly from the drawing — no manual re-keying, fewer data-quality issues downstream.
See ERP data entry →Three steps from drawing to structured data
No templates, no training, no manual prep. Upload a drawing and get verified, structured data back in seconds.
- 1
Drop in a drawing
Upload any technical drawing — PDF, TIFF, or scanned image. Multi-page documents and legacy archives work out of the box.
- 2
We extract every detail
Dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, threads, surfaces, materials — all understood in context with over 95 % accuracy.
- 3
Get clean data in your systems
Structured JSON lands in your ERP or PLM via API, webhook, or callback. Need CSV, XML, or a custom schema? We deliver that too.
How it works under the hood
Ingestion
- Accepts PDF, TIFF, JPEG, JP2, PNG, BMP
- Multi-page scans and archive copies in scope
- Integration via HTTPS POST or Python SDK
Extraction & accuracy
- Interprets metadata and PMI in context — GD&T, threads, surfaces
- Confidence scores per field
- Deterministic, typed JSON — maps directly to ERP/PLM schemas
Feasibility analysis
- Overall dimensions (raw/finished), process info (DIN 8580), volumes
- Go/no-go flags at RFQ intake
- Optional webhooks or callbacks for lights-out processing
Delivery
- JSON, CSV, XML, or custom ERP/PLM schema
- Webhook and callback delivery
- Deploy without process changes — low adoption barrier
Data extraction from manufacturing drawings
Werk24 is more than OCR—we understand technical semantics. Each output is normalized, pixel-precise traceable (x/y/bbox), and ready for ERP/PLM/CAD-CAM.
- No training data required
- Confidence & Evidence trace per field
- GD&T understanding (ISO/ASME)
- API, Webhooks & Python-Client
Drawing automation
Upload a drawing and receive structured JSON—no model training required. Integrates with costing, ERP/PLM, CAD/CAM, or analytics via REST API, webhooks, and Python client. We calibrate on your data for custom rules or quality gates.
Works on day one. Even on drawings from 1987.
Competitors need months of annotation before they recognize your title block. Werk24 ships PMI extraction the moment you connect — across ISO and ASME, German and Japanese, scanned faxes and clean PDFs.

Supported drawing formats
Werk24 focuses on mechanical drawings—enabling maximum accuracy, even with scans and legacy archives.
Supported drawings Supported example
- Component drawings (parts, details)
- Assembly drawings (mechanics & substructure groups)
- Scans of sufficient quality (≥ 200 dpi, 300 dpi recommended)
- Clean, hand-drawn technical drawings (complete dimensions & notes)
Unsupported drawings and files Unsupported example
- Building and architecture floor plans
- P&ID assembly schemes or process flow diagrams
- Electrical or wiring plans
- CAD-native files (DWG, DXF)—please export as PDF or raster
- Sketches, whiteboards or incomplete drawings
Examples










Werk24's output format matches your system's
Choose between Standard API for quick entry or a Custom Profile that matches your ERP/PLM/MES/QMS requirements—including field names, types, units, and formats.
| Standard API | Custom Profile | |
|---|---|---|
| Schema | Stable, versioned | Custom keys, enums & unit policies |
| Formats | JSON via REST API | CSV, JSON or XML; push or pull |
| Onboarding | Fast — full docs & SDKs | Guided setup with your team |
| Best for | Pilots, calculation, analytics | Regulated or legacy environments |
| Choose when | Fastest path · adopt Werk24 keys · backward-compatible versioning | Fixed field names/types · CSV/XML mandated · strict units, enums & rounding |
Why the mapping stays consistent
- Semantic core: We normalize ASME/ISO styles and languages before formatting to your schema.
- Traceable: Each field links to evidence for audits and PPAP/FAI.
- Typed & validated: Units, ranges, and enums are checked before delivery.
Ready for a custom schema?
Send us a field list, a sample export, or a JSON schema—we deliver a ready-to-use output format.
Why Werk24 outperforms OCR and generic AI on drawings
Werk24 is built for technical drawings: deterministic, auditable and ready for ERP, PLM and MES integration.
| Capability | Generic OCR | Generic LLM | Werk24 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Understands GD&T (ASME Y14.5), ISO tolerances, threads/fits, surfaces | Sometimes unreliable | Matching an engineer's accuracy † | |
| Deterministic, structured output | Only raw text | Free-form language | Clean JSON or your schema |
| Processes scans/old stocks (low DPI, fax artifacts) | High error rate | Missing context | Built for 20–30-year-old archives |
| Confidence & Quality Gates per field | Automatic handling of outliers | ||
| Traceability & evidence (BBox-anchor, snapshots) | Not reproducible | Audit-ready evidence | |
| Integration in ERP/PLM/MES | Manual copy & paste | Additional integration needed | Webhooks & custom mappings |
| Compliance & auditability | Unavailable | Not guaranteed | SLAs, EU/USA data standards |
| Works without training data | Template-bound | Needs annotations | Out-of-the-box |
| Standard & language independence | Prompt-dependent | ASME↔ISO; DE/EN/ES/NL/JA/IT | |
| Zero-Retention-Option | Not offered | Not guaranteed | In enterprise packages |
† Typical for supported annotations; results vary depending on scan quality and drawing standard.
