AI design automation · engineering-to-order

From engineering knowledge to finished drawings, simplified by AI.

Your standards, design rules and past drawings already hold your company's know-how. We turn them into traceable rules, and our AI tools use those rules to turn customer inputs into correct drawings and BOMs. Your engineers approve every sheet, and the files open in the CAD tools you already use.

The problem

Engineering-to-order runs on drawings, and drawings run on people.

Each order is a little different, so manufacturers, consultants and contractors redraw their own designs over and over. The rules that make a drawing correct live in senior engineers' heads and in old files. CAD skills are scarce, and every customer change starts the cycle again.

Knowledge scattered everywhere

Sizing tables sit in standards PDFs, layout habits in old drawings, and spec deviations in a few senior engineers' heads. No single place holds them all.

Rework on every change

One customer comment can mean redrawing several sheets and recounting the BOM by hand.

Documents drift apart

Diagrams, layouts and BOMs are edited separately and stop agreeing with each other.

CAD is the bottleneck

Engineers who know the design wait for drafters who know the software.

  1. Customer inputs arrive: diagrams, schedules, a specification
  2. An engineer applies company rules from memory and old jobs
  3. A drafter draws the sheets and the BOM in CAD
  4. Issued for approval
  5. Comments come back: change ratings, sizes, makes, quantities
  6. Edit, redraw, recount, mark the revisions by hand
  7. Repeat until approved for construction
How it works

Knowledge is the product. Drawings are how it's delivered.

At the core is a knowledge engine that holds what your company knows as rules, each traced to its source. Everything else, from drawing generators to editors and CAD add-ins, is a way of putting those rules to work.

Your private layer

Your company's own rules: standard sheets, sizing tables, preferred makes, drawing conventions. You approve them, and they stay in your own instance.

Shared industry base

Public standards for each industry: IEC, BS and local authority rules. We build and maintain this layer once and every customer uses it.

Delivered as

Tools your team uses: a drawing generator for each industry, our own editor, and add-ins for the CAD tools you already have.

01 / CAPTURE

AI reads what you already have

AI reads your past drawings, standard sheets and specifications and proposes rules, each linked to the drawing or clause it came from.

02 / APPROVE

Your standards owner signs off

A rule can't be used until someone at your company approves it. Values that no approved rule covers are raised as questions, never guessed.

03 / GENERATE

Customer inputs in, drawings out

Generators apply the rules to each order and keep every sheet and the BOM in step. Your engineer reviews, adjusts and issues the drawings.

Use case 01 · LV switchgear

VoltCAD: switchboard drawing sets from the single line diagram.

VoltCAD is our first product, built for LV switchboard manufacturers. The engineer edits the single line diagram, which is the master data. VoltCAD then regenerates the GA, layout of components and BOM from the manufacturer's own column library and busbar tables. When the customer sends comments, the engineer changes the SLD once and every sheet updates.

Why RuleArc

AI proposes. The engineer decides.

AI can suggest layout and drafting choices. Ratings and sizes come only from rules you have approved, and a missing value is raised as a question, never guessed. Your engineer approves every drawing before it is issued and carries the professional responsibility, just as with CAD today.

01
Every value is traceableto a public standard, a rule you approved, or a source drawing.
02
Your knowledge is private by defaultYour rules and data stay in your own instance. We reuse only our method and the shared public layer.
03
Knowledge is layeredA shared base of public standards for each industry, with your private rules on top.
04
Change once, and everything followsA revision updates every affected sheet and the BOM, with a record of what changed.
05
Meet users where they workMake changes in plain language with no CAD skills, and get output that opens and edits cleanly in AutoCAD, ZWCAD and EPLAN.
Industries

We start in LV switchgear. The method works wherever drawing work can be automated.

We begin with LV switchgear manufacturing in the GCC and India. The same capture, approve and generate method carries over to other manufacturing and construction work that repeats drawings for each order.

Who it's for

For anyone who turns customer requirements into drawings.

Manufacturers

Built-to-order makers

Design teams that redraw the same kinds of product for every order and live through the comment rounds.

Consultants

Design consultants

Engineers who issue diagrams and specifications and want submittals that match them on the first round.

Contractors

Contractors

Teams coordinating many assemblies per project who need consistent drawing sets and change records.

Work with us

Bring one real job. We'll show you your own knowledge at work.

We capture your standards for one product line, run a recent order through the tool, comment rounds included, and you see your own drawing set regenerated. Pilots can run on your premises.

We use your details only to reply about a pilot.
