Knowledge Agent for Design · Mechanical & Plant Engineering

Your designers search,
instead of designing.

The knowledge agent makes project knowledge, variants and sizing from your own folders available in seconds, with sources. Design time comes back, and the experience of your senior experts stays available, even with staff turnover.

01 · Problem

Experience sits in folders and in heads.

The knowledge is there, in project folders, calculations, emails and in the heads of individual designers. The problem is access: every query starts a fresh search, with no guarantee that similar experience is found again.

●2 to 5 h of searching per query
●Senior becomes the internal help desk
●Variants are reinvented
●Risks are rediscovered
●New staff cannot find the history
●With turnover, experience disappears
A typical day in design
35 %
65 %
Search & research Design, coordination, documentation

Up to 35 % of the time goes into searching old projects and variants. That is exactly the part the agent takes over.

This is not about replacing your PLM or CAD. It is about making the existing knowledge findable across all folders.

02 · Solution

A knowledge agent that knows your projects.

Imagine a colleague who has every completed project in their head. They find similar sizing, repeat parts and lessons learned in seconds, always with a reference to drawing and dossier. Your designers decide, the agent provides the prep work.

What the agent does

  • find similar projects and variants
  • suggest repeat parts and standard components
  • assign standards and sizing guidelines
  • show risks and lessons learned from history
  • ask about use case or certification instead of guessing

What stays with your people

  • the design decision
  • detailed sizing
  • the release
  • technical responsibility

It does not replace your designers. It gives them back the time that goes into searching today.

03 · Live demo

Ask like in a chat. Answers with sources.

The agent answers only from your stored project data. If something is missing, it asks instead of guessing.

We need a panel system for a hydrogen plant, around 35 bar. Have we built something like this before?

Then Project 2023-047 fits, a gas panel system for an H₂ plant, 35 bar, outdoor, ATEX Zone 1, material 1.4571. Drawing and bill of materials are available.

From the lessons learned:
1. ATEX zone clarification is iterative, align with the operator up front.
2. Plan stainless steel 1.4571 with a 4 to 6 week lead time.

04 · Benefit by role

Relief where it is felt every day.

DESIGNER

Design again

Similar projects, repeat parts and sizing in seconds instead of hours of searching. More time for real development.

ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT

Capacity and risk

Freed capacity without new headcount, risks from old projects visible early, less tuition fee per order.

SALES & QUOTING

Reliable faster

A direct quoting basis from comparable projects, fewer clarification loops into engineering.

MANAGEMENT

Less dependency

Experience stays in the house, even with staff turnover. New staff get up to speed faster.

05 · Differentiation

Not just any chatbot. Your own design copilot.

A general chatbot does not know your projects, drawings and lessons learned. The difference is your own knowledge base.

General chatbot

  • does not know your project folders
  • no sources from your house
  • invents plausible-sounding answers
  • does not know your variants and risks

Design copilot

  • works on your approved project data
  • answers with a reference to drawing and dossier
  • does not guess, asks back or reports „not found"
  • knows your projects, parts and experience
06 · Security & trust

The POC deliberately starts with a small data package.

For the entry, a small, bounded package of approved project data is enough, for example a handful of comparable projects.

Project folders (selection) Drawings & BOMs Calculations Standards & guidelines Lessons learned
07 · Pricing

Transparent. Risk first, number second.

The entry is risk-free. You only pay for the POC if it meets the criteria agreed up front. After that, the security tier you choose determines the build price.

Stage 1 · POC
€10,000
only on success, otherwise free

A bounded selection of your projects, searchable in days. Objective success criteria up front.

Stage 2 · Build
€20–35k
by security tier

EU cloud, Docker in-house or full on-prem. You choose the tier, that sets the price.

Stage 3 · Operation
€2–4k
per month, managed

Keep adding new projects, optimize quality, expand to further areas.

The value comes from freed design time and risks made visible early. The price follows the value, scaled by team size.

08 · POC flow

Start small. Prove value. Then decide.

The POC runs on a small, bounded data package. No big IT project, no system migration.

09 · FAQ

What decision-makers rightly ask.

Does this replace our PLM or CAD?

No. The agent replaces nothing. It lays a searchable index over what already exists and points to the drawing and dossier in your systems.

Is it trained on our data?

No. No training on your data. The agent works on a separate, approved knowledge base and answers with a source. Operation up to full on-prem is possible.

Does this replace our designers?

No. The agent takes over search and prep work, the design decision stays with the human. New staff become productive faster.

What does the entry cost?

The POC costs €10,000, and only if it meets the criteria agreed up front. If it doesn't convince you, it is free.

Next step

Start with one of your project folders.

We test the value on a real query from your design team, within one week, with a small data package. If the POC doesn't convince you, it costs nothing.
