LLM tool automates engineering drawing analysis, boosting accuracy to 95%

A development team built a tool to automate the extraction of information from engineering drawings for building automation projects, specifically for Honeywell, Priva, and ISMA controllers. The tool uses a human-in-the-loop approach, combining a multimodal LLM like Google's Gemini with a structured review process to achieve over 95% accuracy. This workflow significantly reduces the time engineers spend on repetitive tasks, improving accuracy and streamlining the process from drawing to final documentation. AI

IMPACT Streamlines complex data extraction from visual documents, potentially improving efficiency in engineering and construction workflows.

    From 50% to 95%: getting an LLM to read engineering drawings

    <p>Every building automation project starts with the same paperwork problem: pages of technical drawings showing hundreds of individual input and output connections that have to be read, classified and transcribed by hand before any controller gets configured.</p> <p>We built a t…
