In this DWG extraction case study, see how Expert AI Services empowered a Kansas engineering firm by converting 10,000+ legacy blueprints into a searchable AI knowledge base. Through advanced legacy blueprint digitization, we transformed decades of technical drawings into a living resource for engineering teams.
Based in Kansas, our client is a prominent engineering and construction firm facing the mounting challenge of maintaining knowledge spread across paper and digital blueprints. Their operations relied on a vast legacy of DWG files, many with inconsistent structures, making knowledge management inefficient and error-prone. They sought a partner with expertise in blueprint digital transformation to unlock the hidden value of their archives.
Managing thousands of legacy DWG files isn’t just a matter of storage—it’s a technical barrier. With little metadata and outdated formats, even routine blueprint searches could delay project delivery and compliance for Kansas engineering projects.
Our team combined robust engineering data extraction tools and cutting-edge AI knowledge management to digitize and structure the entire archive. The process included:
After a successful pilot, we launched full-scale blueprint digital transformation. Each drawing was mapped, tagged, and validated—becoming instantly accessible via search. This shift enabled project, support, and compliance teams to instantly retrieve any document details, eliminating manual bottlenecks.
The result: over 1,800 staff hours saved yearly, accelerated project cycles, and improved record compliance for construction and engineering workflows. Our client now sets the regional benchmark for engineering document automation and blueprint digital transformation.
“Expert AI Services took an overwhelming blueprint problem and delivered an AI-powered solution that made knowledge accessible for every project. What once took hours now takes seconds—setting a new standard for Kansas engineering excellence.”
