Elicis reads P&IDs, isometrics, and complex engineering drawings and returns a Bill of Materials with every line item traced back to its source region, priced against live market data, and searchable through chat.
Extract and analyze all technical drawings with intelligent linking between related documents, symbols, and specifications. Build a comprehensive understanding of your entire project documentation.
Multi-stage AI pipeline extracts Bills of Materials (material takeoffs, or MTOs) from process diagrams, isometric drawings, and structural plans, with adaptive region discovery so it finds the BOM table even when it isn't in the usual spot.
Click any extracted line item and see the exact spot on the drawing it came from, highlighted in place. No digging through pages to double check a number.
Ask questions across your approved BOMs and get answers with clickable citations back to the exact line items and drawings they came from. Never an unsourced answer.
Connect to your preferred pricing databases, rate cards, and supplier catalogs. Configure custom codes and create comprehensive pricing scenarios tailored to your procurement workflow.
An AI agent searches the live market for current pricing on any BOM line item. Go beyond static rate cards when you need an up-to-date number, with the source link attached.
Import your technical drawings in PDF, PNG, or JPG format. System automatically identifies document types and relationships.
Vision models extract BOMs, identify symbols, map component relationships, and build complete document context across all drawings.
Review extracted data, chat with AI about your project, and configure procurement connections to your pricing sources.
Create comprehensive pricing scenarios using your custom rate cards and supplier integrations. Export complete reports.
