Drawing-to-BOM Automation for Aerospace

Drawing-to-BOM: Reducing Release Lag in Aerospace

In aerospace, precision is non-negotiable—but speed still matters.
Release delays often come down to one thing: extracting bill-of-materials data from engineering drawings.

Each revision, annotation, or format variation slows the process. Engineers verify part numbers manually; planners wait for sign-off; production waits for release.

Customiser AI automates this bottleneck.
It reads drawings (PDF or DWG), identifies every part, quantity, and reference, and exports a structured BOM aligned with the correct revision. Any discrepancies are flagged before release—not after.

The outcome:

• 95 % faster order-to-release

• Consistent BOM accuracy

• Traceable version control from design to build

For aerospace suppliers balancing backlog pressure and quality audits, automation means fewer late-stage issues and a clearer path to compliance.

Key takeaway:

When every revision is captured automatically, engineering time becomes production time.
