Exa has introduced BEAVEL™. BEAVEL is a tool that pulls product information from manufacturing drawings, catalogs and other technical documents and puts it into a format.
Manufacturing companies usually keep product data in drawings, specifications, catalogs and other documents. Getting the data out of those files can take a lot of work especially when it has to be turned into a structured format for engineering, procurement, sales or production teams.
BEAVEL wants to make the process easier. BEAVEL pulls product‑related information from documents. Arranges it into data that can be used. BEAVEL can cut down on data entry and also make technical information easier to find, study and reuse in everyday business tasks.

BEAVEL is part of a trend of using AI to read documents in manufacturing. As manufacturers work on change turning unstructured information into structured data is getting more important for linking engineering knowledge with other business systems.
For manufacturers having structured product information can help areas, from parts and component tracking to buying, quoting and product databases. Structured data also lets companies use knowledge that was once stuck, inside documents.
The launch shows that AI is moving past just creating content. AI is now focused on pulling value from existing company data especially in fields where big piles of technical documents are part of everyday work.
