Document Intelligence

Manufacturing documents extracted, indexed, and made queryable — without manual data entry.

Documents Carry Operational Data That Never Reaches Your Systems

Supplier quality records, calibration certificates, maintenance work orders, NCRs, and PPAP submissions carry critical operational and financial data. That data lives in PDFs and email attachments — outside your MES, outside your ERP, outside any system that can answer questions about it. EKAS changes that.

What EKAS Processes Today

1. PPAP Quality Submissions

Part number, supplier, submission level, approval status, drawing number

2. Maintenance Work Orders

WO number, asset ID, fault description, priority, estimated hours

3. Calibration Certificates

Certificate number, instrument ID, calibration date, next due date, PASS/FAIL result

4. Non-Conformance Reports

NCR number, part number, quantity affected, disposition, root cause

5. Material / Quality Certificates

Grade, heat number, supplier, properties

6. Scanned Paper Records

OCR extraction for digitised paper documents

7. Custom Document Types

Field schemas defined at deployment, no code change required

Upload. Extract. Query.

1

Document Arrives

Documents uploaded via the EKAS interface or placed in a monitored network folder are processed immediately — no batch schedule, no wait.

2

Fields Extracted

EKAS extracts required fields and reports a confidence score based on the fraction of required fields successfully extracted. Missing fields return null with a reason code — not a hallucinated value substituted for missing data.

3

Immediately Queryable

Extracted documents are available for natural language queries through the AI Assistant within seconds of upload. Ask 'Show me all calibration certs due this month' or 'Which NCRs are open for this part number?' and receive grounded, sourced answers.

What EKAS Will and Will Not Do

OCR accuracy on degraded paper records — handwritten fields, low-resolution photographs, complex table layouts — is lower than on digital PDFs. EKAS reports this honestly: a document with missing required fields returns those fields as null with a reason code. Partial extraction is reported as partial. No hallucinated values are substituted for missing data.
