Kuken Industries searches 70 years of drawings in minutes
Which summary reads better? Pick one — models revealed after.Both summaries are AI-generated.
Kuken Industries reduced drawing search time from nearly an hour to 4.5 minutes using the OpenAI API, enabling engineers to quickly locate specific drawings among 70 years of accumulated data, and potentially increasing repair efficiency for companies with similar archives.
Repair drawing lookup dropped from nearly an hour to 4.5 minutes by using the OpenAI API across 70 years of cooling tower drawings. For production teams, the takeaway is that multimodal/document search over legacy engineering archives can turn buried institutional knowledge into an operational tool, cutting downtime-facing workflows without first fully replatforming the archive.
