CADDi launches AI-enabled drawing management software for procurement

CADDi Inc. has introduced CADDi Drawer, an AI-powered drawing management SaaS. It uses machine learning to help decrease procurement costs and labor hours typically spent searching for drawings. The software automatically extracts features from drawings and cross-references them with their purchase history, converting past data into present value cost savings.

The proprietary algorithm for image analysis helps procurement teams digitize and harness historical data. The similarity search function simplifies the process of retrieving all pertinent drawings from each company’s archive of data, cutting retrieval time from hours or days to seconds, the company reports.
