OpenDrawing
An alternative to manual electrical takeoffs, Bluebeam, Togali.ai and spreadsheet-based BOM processes. OpenDrawing reads single-line diagrams, P&IDs, riser diagrams, and panel schedules and produces an ERP-ready bill of materials in under 5 minutes.

What is OpenDrawing?
Engineers at utilities, electrical contractors, and panel manufacturers spend 30-60 minutes per drawing manually counting components from single-line diagrams, P&ID schematics, riser diagrams, panel schedules, and control drawings before they can build a bill of materials for procurement or ERP systems. OpenDrawing converts any electrical schematic — scanned paper, digital PDF, or CAD export — into a complete, structured BOM in under 5 minutes, an 83% average time reduction. The AI identifies and counts every circuit breaker, relay, transformer, disconnect, fiber assembly, and piece of panel hardware across all major manufacturer catalogs including Schneider Electric, ABB, and Siemens. Output includes part numbers, quantities, manufacturer data, and panel groupings exported directly to Excel as an ERP-ready electrical takeoff. Works on legacy drawings with zero data retention, and enterprise customers can train custom AI models on their own diagram
