Built an automation pipeline that converts 3D CAD models into structured Bill-of-Materials (BOM) data, reducing manual data-entry effort and surfacing component-level inventory insights for engineering teams. Integrated OCR to extract text from engineering drawings and feed it into the BOM workflow, improving end-to-end data capture accuracy and reducing rework cycles. Defined accuracy and throughput metrics for the pipeline (extraction precision, parts-per-minute, error rate) and iterated on edge cases based on engineer feedback.
