## Reviews

### "A Google search for Drawings" — 5.0/5

> **SEIICHI** | *30 April 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: To create less mistakes, we created PGs (Process Guides) by referencing past successful similar cases.
Even new guys can easily search for similar drawings, letting them create PGs based on them as references. This means that other veteran employees don't need to directly educate them on PGs created by them, as new employees can learn the methods of PG creation on their own.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be great if the system could optimize searches based on similar past searches.
Hoping for better usability when searching and viewing differences in similar drawings. If the system reads drawings as 3D shapes, it'd be really helpful if it could show more accurate differences regardless of how the drawings were scanned or in PDF format.

-----

### "Expanding the Utilization of Drawings" — 5.0/5

> **KYOHEI** | *30 November 2023* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The similarity search has contributed greatly to our cost reduction activities by allowing us to select appropriate suppliers and link purchasing information.
The OCR search has also improved the searchability of drawings, which has greatly reduced the time previously spent 'looking for drawings'.
> 
> **Cons**: Revisions, tags, and remarks need to be manually entered.
> 
> Specifically, we have seen a significant improvement in operational efficiency and cost reduction.
New features are being released one after another, so we expect the scope of utilization to expand even further in the future.
We are considering using the system not only in the purchasing and design departments, but also in other departments.

-----

### "Improves our efficiency\!" — 4.0/5

> **MORI** | *06 February 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For drawing management, being able to search for items such as shape and tags that other systems cannot search for allows for much smoother use. In the future, it seems that we'll be able to improve this through price verification and adding defect information.
> 
> **Cons**: There are some quirks with the functionality:
When logging in for the first time, you're prompted to register a password from the password change screen. It's only the first time, but was a bit confusing.
I'd like more permission control.
Some drawings that appear similar are not actually very similar when using the similarity search, depending on how many similar drawings we have stored.
Enhancement of the difference display function. Even a slight misalignment results in the entire content being treated as a difference.
Addition of upload functionality for basic information.

-----

### "An Essential Tool for the Purchasing Department" — 5.0/5

> **Shigeru** | *27 November 2023* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The CADDi DRAWER Application Support Department is working with us to help us establish the use of CADDi DRAWER within the company. Our requests are also reflected in the software as they emerge in updates. The speed of this process is also very fast. Six months have passed since the introduction of CADDi DRAWER. Thanks to them, CADDi DRAWER has become an indispensable item for our purchasing staff.
> 
> **Cons**: Difference analysis and search for similar drawings from punch pictures could use slight improvement because of drawing complexity. In the future, purchasing operations will change dramatically if it becomes possible to provide quotations from DRAWER and recommendations for ordering vendors and ordering unit prices.

-----

### "Anyone Can Find and Use Drawings" — 5.0/5

> **Kotaro** | *23 February 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The search speed for searching is great, and the accuracy of the information extracted is very high. We have high expectations for the software's future development\!
> 
> **Cons**: We're expect integration of peripheral systems in the future such as estimating, SCM, etc.
> 
> Being able to view costs for each part, the ability to have anyone search for drawings, and efficiency improvements all exceed expectations.
