Werk24

Werk24 is an AI engineering problem solver tool. Werk24 Studio reads mechanical engineering drawings and produces inspection reports in a customer's own template, revision comparisons, ERP-ready order data and structured part data, with a typed JSON API for developers.

Werk24 Studio is a drawing-reading platform for manufacturers and their suppliers. It interprets engineering drawings the way an experienced manufacturing engineer would, extracting dimensions, tolerances, threads, GD&T callouts, materials and title block details, then puts that data to work in several job-specific features that share one account and one pool of pages. The quality feature is built around inspection reports. A user uploads a previously completed report as Excel or PDF, and Studio infers the customer's template and what each field means, with a person confirming the mapping. New drawings are then ballooned automatically, a measuring sheet can be produced for the shop floor or a CMM (QIF Plans), and results are written back into the customer's own form. Standard formats such as AS9102 / FAIR, EMPB, PPAP and QIF are also covered. Drawing Compare takes two revisions and lists every difference across dimensions, tolerances, features, bill of materials and title block, classifying each one. Suppliers or customers can be invited to compare their drawing against yours. Two further features, Order Desk and Part Geometries, are offered to selected customers on request. Order Desk takes forwarded order or RFQ emails, matches drawings to order positions and prepares ERP-ready values for human review. Part Geometries lets teams define part families and variables, correct a small sample, and receive one clean table per family for ERP or PLM use, with the system asking targeted questions where it is unsure. Developers can use the API, which returns typed JSON from a submitted drawing, and a browser demo lets them try it without code. A Custom Solutions service covers needs outside the standard products, built on the same engine. Among alternatives, Werk24 sits between generic OCR or document-extraction tools, which lack drawing semantics, and in-house CAD or PMI pipelines. Its focus is narrow: mechanical drawings, from quality and procurement through ERP data preparation. The company is German, hosts on AWS in Frankfurt (US on request), and encrypts data in transit and at rest.
