How does SmartBOM work?
SmartBOM automates industrial bill of materials processing using artificial intelligence to classify, analyze, and optimize components.
The Problem
Manufacturing companies receive bills of materials (BOM) in different formats from each client. Manual processing requires hours of work to:
- Interpret different Excel structures
- Classify hundreds of components
- Estimate costs and delivery times
- Identify risks and critical issues
The Solution: Automated Workflow
SmartBOM transforms hours of manual work into minutes
File Upload
Users upload BOM files received from clients (Excel, PDF, CSV). The system accepts any format and structure.
Automatic Extraction
AI analyzes the file structure and automatically identifies columns: part number, description, quantity, unit of measure, etc.
AI Analysis
Users select which analyses to run. Each analysis enriches the data with additional information.
Review & Validation
Users review AI results, can correct any errors and validate the data. The system shows a confidence score for each analysis.
Standardized Export
The system generates standardized output with all AI-enriched data, ready to be imported into the company's ERP system.
Available AI Modules
Each module can be run individually or in combination
Structure Detection
Detects parent-child hierarchy of components
Classification
Categorizes: mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, etc.
Cost Estimation
Cost estimation based on market data
Supplier Matching
Suggests optimal suppliers for each component
Risk Assessment
Identifies critical components and supply chain risks
Duplicate Detection
Finds duplicate or similar components
Compliance Check
Verifies RoHS, REACH compliance, etc.
Optimization
Suggestions to reduce costs and improve efficiency
