AI-POWERED PART INTELLIGENCE & OPTIMIZATION

Every New Part Has a Cost. Make Sure It's Worth Creating.

Before a new part enters your design, know whether it already exists, where it's used, who supplies it, what it costs, and whether it's worth creating at all. Part Classifier helps engineering, procurement, and manufacturing make that decision together.

BEFORE YOU CREATE A NEW PART

Every New Part Starts with the Same Decision.

Most teams make it without the right information in front of them.

1Need a new part?
2Does something similar already exist?
YESReuse

Better cost, lower inventory, faster development

NOCreate
PART CLASSIFIER

Every Part Has a Story.

Follow one component from the moment it's drawn to the moment a decision gets made. Each stage expands on hover.

01

Design Created

An engineer starts a new design and reaches a point where a part is needed.

02

Part Uploaded

The CAD drawing goes into Part Classifier for review.

03

Visual Match Found

The system compares the drawing against the full part library, not just part numbers.

04

Similar Parts Compared

Visually and functionally similar parts surface side by side.

05

Supplier History Retrieved

Approved suppliers, lead times, and past orders appear for each match.

06

Inventory Checked

Current stock levels show what's already sitting in the warehouse.

07

Pricing Compared

Landed cost across suppliers and plants lines up for comparison.

08

Recommendation Generated

Part Classifier scores the reuse potential and flags the best option.

09

Reuse / Redesign / Create New

The team decides, backed by data instead of guesswork.

HERO CAPABILITY

Find Similar Parts Beyond Part Numbers.

Two parts can look nothing alike on paper and still do the exact same job. Part Classifier finds those matches by sight and by function, not by naming convention. No manual cross-checking, no tribal knowledge required.

WORK FLOW

From Drawing to Decision.

An interactive workflow. Small explanations only, the sequence does most of the talking.

The design work happens the way it always has.

PART INTELLIGENCE IN ACTION

The Same Problem, Across Industries.

Manufacturing

Duplicate fasteners across plants.

Three plants had three part numbers for what turned out to be the same fastener, each ordered from a different supplier.

RecommendationReuse the existing standard.
Automotive

Similar brackets across vehicle programs.

A new program needed a mounting bracket that looked custom until Part Classifier found one from another program that needed only a minor tolerance change.

RecommendationReuse with minor modification.
Industrial Equipment

Duplicate bearings.

The same bearing was being sourced from two suppliers under two different part numbers.

RecommendationMerge suppliers.
Electronics

PCB components.

Multiple product lines were each carrying their own version of a common component.

RecommendationConsolidate inventory.
ONE PART, SIX DIFFERENT VIEWS

Built for Every Team Touching a Part.

A persona switcher, each role sees its own priorities and its own view of the same part.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything You Need to Know.

01Can Part Classifier analyze CAD files?

Yes. Upload a CAD drawing and Part Classifier reads the geometry directly, no manual tagging or reformatting required.

02Can it compare 3D drawings?

Yes. It compares 3D models against the existing part library to find visual matches, not just similar file names or part numbers.

03How accurate is similarity matching?

Match accuracy runs above 95% across the part types we've deployed on, though results depend on the quality and consistency of your existing part data.

04Can it identify duplicate parts?

Yes, this is one of its core jobs. It flags parts that look or function identically even when they were entered separately, under different numbers, across different systems.

05Does it connect with ERP and PLM?

Yes. Part Classifier integrates with your existing ERP and PLM systems so part data stays in sync instead of living in a separate silo.

06Can procurement use it?

Yes. Procurement teams use it to see supplier history, pricing, and sourcing options tied to every part, not just engineering teams.

07How does it reduce inventory?

By surfacing duplicate and near-duplicate parts, it gives teams what they need to consolidate stock instead of carrying redundant inventory across plants.

08Does it recommend suppliers?

Yes. Each match comes with the suppliers already tied to that part, along with pricing and lead time, so sourcing decisions don't start from zero.

09Can it support engineering standardization?

Yes. Because it surfaces reuse opportunities at the point of design, teams naturally converge on standard parts instead of creating new variations over time.

Your Next Part Might Already Exist.

Before investing time designing something new, check what's already available. Part Classifier helps engineering and procurement make faster, more informed decisions from the very first drawing.
