From drawings to structured BOMs, automatically
Stop manually counting components from plan sets. Aginera's AI reads your drawings and produces accurate bills of materials in minutes.
How BOM extraction works
AI Scans Drawings
Computer vision analyzes every sheet — plans, details, schedules, and legends — identifying components by symbol, annotation, and context.
Components Classified
Each identified item is classified by type, size, and specification. The AI reads annotations, schedules, and notes to capture the full description.
Quantities Aggregated
Component counts are aggregated across all sheets. Duplicates are flagged. Linear items (conduit, ductwork) are measured by the AI.
BOM Generated
A structured BOM is produced with type codes, descriptions, quantities, units, drawing references, and confidence scores for human review.
Frequently asked questions
What is BOM extraction?
BOM (Bill of Materials) extraction is the process of identifying every component in a drawing set and compiling them into a structured list with quantities, specifications, and references. Traditionally done manually, Aginera automates this with AI.
How does AI BOM extraction compare to manual methods?
Manual BOM creation typically takes 4-12 hours per drawing set and is prone to missed items and counting errors. AI extraction completes in minutes with consistent methodology, then presents results for human review and adjustment.
Can I map BOM items to my vendor catalog?
Yes. Aginera allows you to map extracted components to your preferred vendors and part numbers. Once mapped, future extractions automatically use your vendor associations for pricing.
How are duplicates handled across multiple sheets?
The AI tracks components across all sheets in a set and flags potential duplicates — items that appear on multiple sheets but should only be counted once (like equipment shown on both a floor plan and a detail).
