AI for Engineering Data: Extract Datasheet Values and Query Part Records

Use AI to pull supplier datasheet values into part records, then ask Bodie across them.

The problem: datasheet values copied by hand

Supplier datasheets hold the values engineers need, but copying them into part records is slow and error-prone.

Datasheets arrive as PDFs in different layouts from every supplier. Someone has to read each one and type the rated pressure, maximum temperature and material into the part record, and a single slip can follow that part through every design that uses it.

What this demo shows

  1. A configured trigger populates material, rated pressure and maximum temperature fields from supplier datasheets.
  2. Field-specific prompts guide each extraction.
  3. Ask Bodie questions across part records, with links to open the relevant parts.

Why it matters

Part records are only as good as the values in them. Extracting datasheet values with field-specific prompts reduces manual entry and keeps the source document attached for checking.

Once the data is in structured fields, engineers can ask questions across every part and get links back to the records, which makes it faster to find a suitable part or check what's affected by a supplier change.

Read the transcript

In the Uncountable PLM suite, AI reads your supplier data sheets for you. Attach a supplier data sheet to a part. A trigger sends the PDF to an LLM and the parts fields fill in. You set a prompt for each field, so you control what it pulls out. Then, ask Bodie a question across all your parts.

Each answer links straight to the parts.

FAQs

Can AI extract values from supplier datasheets?

Yes. Attach a datasheet to a part and a trigger sends the PDF to an LLM that fills in the part's fields.

Can I control what AI extracts?

Yes. You set a prompt for each field.

Can I ask questions across part records?

Yes. Ask Bodie a question across all your parts, and each answer links straight to the relevant parts.
