H Company is describing where SolidWorks design offices lose hours to manual drawing checks, BOM cross-checks and configuration updates, and how its agents take that work over.
- The company says the same three complaints come back from heads of engineering: large assemblies take a long time to open, every revision means re-checking drawings and BOMs by hand, and errors surface too late.
- It puts the cost of a BOM error caught by purchasing or on the shop floor at €10K to €100K in wrong parts, rework and delay.
- H agents work through the same screens engineers already use, reading drawings, models and BOMs, with no API to build, no migration and no new stack, according to the company.
- A European engineering firm started with one task, checking a file out of PDM and back in, and months later covers six SolidWorks workflows, including drawing compliance against 12 in-house templates, part generation, 3D configurations and BOM generation.
- Agents run on a private cloud instance through an outbound-only connection with zero data retention, every action is traced and replayable, and engineers keep the final check.
- H Company estimates a team of 30 engineers spending 20% of its time on checks, BOMs and configuration updates adds up to nearly 10,000 hours a year, and offers a free written assessment of one workflow within a week of a 30-minute call.
