AI-powered Drawing Explorer transforms RFP response workflows across departments
In the world of commercial aircraft interiors, speed and precision wins contracts. At JAMCO America, responding to RFPs isn’t just about price—it’s about showcasing the company’s deep expertise across decades of aircraft configurations, engineering designs, and retrofit programs. But when that knowledge is trapped in thousands of technical PDFs and drawing sets, even the most experienced proposal team faces a bottleneck.
That’s why JAMCO turned to Augmented AI Labs to unlock the full value of its engineering archives—and turn them into a competitive advantage.
The Challenge: Navigating Complexity at Scale
JAMCO’s product knowledge is vast—spanning galleys, lavatories, seats, structures, electrical systems, and cabinetry installations across more than 3,000 aircraft. Each RFP response requires teams to pull together specific product information, validate configuration details, and build accurate Bills of Materials (BoMs)—all under tight deadlines.
Previously, engineers had to search through hundreds of drawings manually, a process that could take hours per proposal and carried the risk of missing critical details.
The Solution: Drawing Explorer
Working closely with JAMCO’s business and R&D teams, Augmented AI Labs built Drawing Explorer, a purpose-built AI tool designed to:
-
Index and extract data from thousands of complex engineering drawings and PDFs
-
Enable natural language and image-based search across part numbers, descriptions, and design details
-
Integrate directly into JAMCO’s existing ERP and proposal workflows
-
Reduce the time to find relevant designs from hours to minutes
The intuitive UI is optimized for engineering teams—allowing them to locate and compare designs quickly, collaborate effectively, and construct more competitive proposals with less business risk.
“We are happy that we chose Augmented AI Labs to help conceive and build the Drawing Explorer for us. They are customer focused, solution oriented, with a business model that matches our approach to successful partnership.”
The Results: Faster Proposals, Broader Use Cases
Drawing Explorer has already transformed JAMCO’s proposal development process—cutting search and discovery time drastically while ensuring more accurate bids.
And it’s not stopping there. Other engineering teams have begun using the tool to streamline workflows like structural modification, cabinetry design, and retrofit planning. What started as a proposal assistant is fast becoming a core part of JAMCO’s knowledge infrastructure.
By converting decades of product knowledge into an accessible, AI-powered interface, JAMCO is equipping its teams to respond faster, win more, and collaborate better.
This is what “AI for Knowledge-Base Workflows” looks like in action.
