Catch What's Easy to Miss — Before It Reaches the Shop Floor
Engineered Intelligence for Design Review — structured analysis of engineering drawings against manufacturing standards, process knowledge, and product family logic. In under 15 minutes.
Seven Technology Branches. One Structured Review.
Design Intelligence reviews 2D engineering drawings against manufacturing standards and process knowledge — identifying what is wrong, what will happen on the floor if it proceeds, and what needs to change.
Reviews drawings across seven manufacturing technologies: Machining, Casting, Forging, Fabrication, Sheet Metal, Assembly, and Version Comparison
Identifies errors across 13+ categories — from GD&T and tolerance issues to missing callouts and material specification gaps
Flags manufacturing consequences on every finding — not just what is wrong, but what it will cost if it reaches the floor
Compares drawing versions to identify and classify every change — critical, major, and minor
What Design Intelligence Delivers
Manufacturing Consequence Intelligence
Every finding includes a consequence statement — what will happen on the shop floor if this issue is not resolved before production begins.
Product Family Intelligence
Domain-specific checks calibrated to your component type — pistons, gears, crankshafts, connecting rods, cams, and more. Not just generic drawing rules.
Cost & Complexity Flags
Identifies design decisions that will drive up manufacturing cost or process complexity — before the drawing reaches the estimator.
Institutional Knowledge Capture
The review logic encodes the process knowledge your most experienced engineers carry — and makes it available on every drawing, regardless of who does the review.
Version Comparison
Upload two drawing revisions and get a structured comparison — every change classified by severity, with manufacturing implications called out.
Cross-Drawing Validation
Checks compatibility across mating parts and assembly interfaces — catches mismatches that single-drawing review cannot detect.
Design Intelligence Is Where the Loop Begins — and Where It Returns
Design Intelligence is the first product in the Cognaize Systems intelligence loop — and the one that benefits most from it. Quality findings captured on the floor by Quality Intelligence feed back into Design Intelligence, so the review logic improves with every rejection resolved. The system learns what actually causes problems in production — and sharpens its checks accordingly.
The result is a design review that gets more precise the longer your factory runs.
Real Findings on a Real Drawing
Cold Formed Differential Bevel Pinion · Gear Family · ForgeReview · STANDARD Mode
Gear data block inconsistency: pitch diameter vs module × teeth exceeds 2%
Data transcription error corrupts backlash, contact ratio, and mating gear compatibility.
Mating gear cone distance mismatch — cross-drawing check
Outer cone distance differs >0.1mm vs mating side gear. Produces incorrect tooth contact pattern.
Case depth not differentiated between tooth root and flank
Root and flank have different failure modes. Depth adequate for flank may be insufficient at root.
