Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
We turn repeat design work into software
Rule-driven generators, CAD plugins and knowledge systems that run the work your team repeats.
About Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering is a third discipline engineers who write the rules that make a design task repeatable, then build the software that runs them. The output is not a drawing set. It is a generator you can run again on the next project without redoing the thinking.
If you already have a design team, the work worth outsourcing is rarely the drawing. It is the system that makes the drawing repeatable. That system is where our strongest measured results come from: a 67% reduction in design lead time on a delivered formwork engine.
What we deliver
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
CAD Customization & Plugin Development
Custom plugins and APIs for the platform your team already uses, written to automate the specific, repeatable steps in your design process.
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
Engineering Knowledge & Standards Systems
Retrieval systems over engineering standards and a company's own SOPs and handbooks, so an engineer gets the specific clause they need instead of searching a shared drive.
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
CAD Macros & Scripting
Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks and Inventor API scripting for the repetitive CAD tasks your team runs by hand every day.
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
Immersive Engineering (AR/VR)
VR experience centres, design review environments and product walkthroughs, built in Unreal and Unity, so a machine can be seen without ever leaving the factory.
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
CAD PLM, ERP & CRM Integration
Automated data exchange and interoperability APIs connecting your CAD environment to the PLM, ERP or CRM systems your business already runs on.
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
Automated Drawing & BOM Generation
Automated drawing and BOM generation, hierarchy-preserving EBOM export, and change tracking across revisions, so the drawing package updates itself when the model does.
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
Intelligent Rule-Based Engineering
Rule-driven generators, product configurators and knowledge-based engineering systems that replace a manual design decision with a rule the software applies every time after.
How we do it
Audit one recurring package
The design or drawing package your team prepares by hand on every project. We establish whether automation pays on it before anything gets built.
YOU GETEngagement model
Build and validate the rule engine
Validated against drawings your own checkers have already approved rather than against synthetic examples.
YOU GETAutomation engagements are scoped and milestone-based, and they start with a short audit rather than a long study.
Widen and integrate
The engine extends to the rest of the design family and wires into your CAD, PLM, ERP or CRM systems as needed.
YOU GETThe first milestone is always a working generator against a real package.
Hand over a working generator
A generator rather than a study, with documentation your team can run and maintain.
YOU GETFrom there the engagement widens to the rest of the design family, or hands off entirely to your own team to run.
Case studies
Fabrication drawing automation for offshore platforms
Automated fabrication drawings for plate and beam assemblies at L&T Hydrocarbon, produced to third-angle projection standards.
