AI Applications for Every Industry

Simple and efficient metadata allocation for Komax

The Swiss company Komax, a leading manufacturer of machines in the wire harness sector, offers a wide range of products. To create precise product information, Komax uses the SCHEMA ST4 editing system. The variety of products is represented in projects through variant filters. If a new product was added, the technical editors had to carry out the manual assignment of product validity to the relevant nodes. This meant over 7,000 targeted clicks per project. A tedious and error-prone job. Solution: With the ST4 AI Cube, plusmeta's artificial intelligence is integrated directly into SCHEMA ST4. As a result, mass metadata assignment is done in just a few clicks — automatically, quickly, and reliably.

The Digital Data Chain with AI-plusmeta & Merck

Merck’s products are manufactured on complex and highly individualized plants. These consist of sub-plants, consisting of many functional units and technical equipment. The components and the associated documentation come from different suppliers and are delivered in various formats. To maintain an overview here, to keep the assignment correct and the information up-to-date, plusmeta supports Merck with artificial intelligence. Thousands of documents are analyzed within seconds, and appropriate metadata, such as language, document type, and product reference, are automatically assigned. Thus, Merck has intelligent information that can be easily provided and used situationally in the future. This makes the time-consuming and tedious search for the correct information a thing of the past.

Efficient metadata assignment in waterway engineering

The construction and operation of infrastructure on waterways is a complex task that generates a wealth of technical documents. These documents form the basis for the smooth operation of the facilities and serve as a planning basis for future projects. For this purpose, many 1,000 documents must be provided with metadata to be findable in a document management system. By using plusmeta, this process can be comprehensively automated and accelerated, and data quality can be significantly improved. This ensures that the documents stored in the as-built system are easy to find and that access to valuable information is guaranteed.

Automated metadata assignment at the PURPLAN plant manufacturer

The delivery of plant documentation per VDI 2770 is becoming increasingly crucial for the process industry. One of the first companies to provide its plant documentation on a large scale in compliance with the standard is the plant manufacturer PURPLAN. In a joint project, several hundred VDI 2770 packages were created here and uploaded to the Information Exchange Platform (IEP) “Sharecat.” The use of the digital data chain ensures fast availability of the documentation by scanning the AutoID directly at the corresponding plant components. This project paid particular attention to automating the package creation process. Linked to this is the development of “plusmeta Automate,” where information and documents are transferred directly into plusmeta via an API, and valid VDI-2770 containers are generated automatically.
