WOGO Launches Full-Scale "AI Automatic Design Solution" for Manufacturing Industry

WOGO Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative Director: Qin Jingchao, hereinafter "WOGO") has launched the full-scale provision of its "AI Automatic Design Solution" targeting design tasks in the manufacturing and construction equipment sectors, including machinery, equipment, jigs, racks, and support structures.

This solution automates the entire process from design reuse to the creation of assembly and production drawings by incorporating practical design rules, including sheet metal, cutting, welding, and structural steel processing, into automatic programs.

Furthermore, by integrating AI, it supports the continuous improvement and expansion of design rules, enabling flexible design support that goes beyond the framework of traditional rule-based automatic design.

As an initial case, the "Automatic Welding Jig Design System" provided to Takahashi Metal Co., Ltd. achieved an 80% reduction in man-hours for the process from welding jig design to the creation of arrangement drawings, compared to previous methods.

Background: Labor Shortages and Siloed Expertise in Manufacturing Design Fields

In Japan's manufacturing industry, the aging of skilled technicians, labor shortages, and shortening design lead times have created significant challenges in inheriting design expertise and automating operations.

In particular, design tasks for machinery, equipment, jigs, racks, and support structures involve a vast amount of simple repetitive work in creating new drawings and arrangement drawings based on past similar designs.

WOGO has previously provided various 3DxAI solutions related to the transformation of design processes for the manufacturing industry, including CAD data analysis, drawing search, automatic drawing inspection, 3D model generation from 2D drawings, and CAD automation.

Based on this accumulated knowledge, WOGO is now launching the "AI Automatic Design Solution," which combines parametric models with AI, on a full-scale basis.

Main Features of the AI Automatic Design Solution

Creation of Automatic Design Programs

This process involves organizing the design rules for the target products and embedding them into programs that include dimensional conditions, placement conditions, parts selection criteria, and manufacturing constraints. This creates a system capable of automatically generating CAD data and 2D drawings according to the specific requirements of each project.

WOGO engineers will provide support during this process.

Automatic Generation of CAD Data and Drawings

Design personnel at companies can use the automatic programs to generate 3D CAD data and 2D drawings for design reuse according to new specifications.

Automatic Drawing Inspection and Design Rule Check

Generated CAD data and drawings are automatically checked for design rules, manufacturing constraints, interference, and other factors. This reliably detects defects in the automatically generated results, supporting the reduction of rework and confirmation man-hours.

Automation of 2D Drawing Output

The creation of 2D drawings required for downstream processes, such as part drawings and arrangement drawings, is also automated. This reduces the workload for designers and supports a smooth transition to the procurement and manufacturing stages.

Flexible Design Changes and Continuous Improvement with AI

By further integrating AI into the above system, continuous improvement and expansion of design rules become possible. Ultimately, the goal is to develop an AI design support program that learns from each company's design standards the more it is used.

Initial Implementation Case: Automatic Welding Jig Design System with Takahashi Metal Co., Ltd.

As an existing case, WOGO developed the "Automatic Welding Jig Design System" to automate the process from welding jig design to the creation of arrangement drawings.

Traditionally, welding jig design required CAD operation by skilled technicians, parts placement, design decisions, and the creation of arrangement drawings, demanding significant time and specialized knowledge.

With this system, simply inputting the 3D model into the software automatically places jig parts and outputs arrangement data and assembly drawings. This automates the operational aspects of jig design, enabling personnel without CAD operation skills to arrange jigs.

The implementation resulted in an 80% reduction in man-hours compared to the conventional design and arrangement process.

Free Thematic Consultation Sessions for AI Automatic Design

To revitalize the manufacturing industry by reducing simple design tasks and shifting towards more creative work, WOGO is conducting "AI Automatic Design Free Thematic Consultation Sessions" for the manufacturing and construction equipment sectors.

These sessions will identify areas within each company's design operations where significant man-hour reductions can be expected through AI automatic design. The focus will be on repetitive tasks such as jig design, equipment design, rack and support structure design, drawing inspection, design reuse, and drawing creation, exploring the possibilities of AI automation and approaches for Proof of Concept (PoC) themes.

Companies facing the following challenges are encouraged to inquire:

"Unsure which design tasks to automate with AI first" "Want to know if there are tasks in our company that can achieve significant man-hour reductions" "Looking for themes that are easy to implement as PoCs and likely to yield results" "Need to organize target tasks and expected outcomes for internal proposals"

*These consultation sessions may end without prior notice.
