Technical Drawing Intelligence

2026 · Metals & manufacturing · CNIMI

A PDF engineering drawing, read the way a drafter reads it.

  • Locates and reads the title block field by field — piece name, material, tolerances, scale, and more — across dozens of client templates, in French or English.
  • Separates and segments precisely every view on the sheet and picks out the flat-pattern view that matters for manufacturing.
  • Understands the part's geometry — bounding dimensions, perimeter, holes, slots, and features — and infers the manufacturing process behind each feature.
  • Turns a legacy PDF archive into a searchable, structured dataset — thousands of drawings in a single run — ready to feed estimation, BOM, or ERP.

Tender Intake Agent

2025 · Agentic Automation · CNIMI

The tender found in the inbox, its documents chased down wherever they live, and filed — no human triage.

  • An agentic-AI system that reads the inbox, tells a tender from everything else, and takes it from there — no human triage.
  • Chases every bid document down its own path — a direct link, a login-walled portal, a web page with a Download button to click — signs in, fetches, unpacks, and files each tender in one clean structure.

GearFinder

2024 · Marine research · LMP3 / Merinov

One platform, the whole loop: a sonar sweep becomes a seabed map, a labelled map becomes a model, and the model finds lost gear on every sweep after.

  • Reconstructs the seabed from a raw sonar sweep into a navigable map, then labels every piece of gear found on it.
  • Trains a detection model on those labelled maps, then runs it instantly on every new sonar sweep to flag lost 'ghost' fishing gear the moment it's found.
  • Returns each contact's location and status on a gear map — for conservation, fisheries management, and retrieval.

Laser-Welding Defect Detection

2024 · Applied research · LMP3 / CNRC

The weld's verdict as it cools — instead of an X-ray film read days later.

  • Real-time models detect porosity and undercut during laser welding from high-speed camera frames — the moment the weld finishes.
  • AI anomaly detection on laser-ultrasonic signals finds porosity, replacing slow, costly weld-by-weld X-ray film inspection.
