The pre-project survey is a mandatory step before the industrial implementation of the 'AI Technologist' system. Based on the survey results, a technical specification, target architecture of the solution, and an accurate cost estimate for implementation are formed.

The survey is conducted by a team of analysts and engineers in collaboration with key specialists from the client: technologists, IT service, and production managers.

Duration: from 2 to 4 weeks (depends on the scale of the enterprise and the number of production sites)

What is included

1. Audit of current business processes

• Study of the existing technological preparation process
• Identification of decision-making points and areas of responsibility
• Analysis of the current workload on technologists and standardizers
• Assessment of the volume and nomenclature of processed drawings
• Identification of bottlenecks and time losses

2. Work with key specialists

• Interviews with technologists and standardizers
• Interviews with IT specialists and system administrators
• Interviews with heads of production departments
• Collection of requirements and expectations from the system

3. Data and systems analysis

• Determination of design documentation formats (drawings, specifications)
• Inventory of used systems (1C, PDM/PLM, CAD, etc.)
• Preliminary analysis of accounting and related systems
• Assessment of the quality and completeness of regulatory and reference information
• Analysis of historical data on routes and standardization

4. IT infrastructure analysis

• Assessment of server capacities for system deployment
• Analysis of network infrastructure
• Assessment of readiness for integration with 1C (when choosing Professional/Enterprise versions)
• Determination of hardware requirements

5. Formation of target architecture

• Design of the target interaction scheme of AI Technologist with existing systems
• Definition of the composition of modules and system configuration
• Recommendation on the choice of product version (Basic, Standard, Professional, Enterprise)
• Definition of implementation stages

6. Preparation and approval of technical specifications

• Formation of functional requirements
• Description of system usage scenarios
• Definition of acceptance criteria
• Approval of technical specifications with the client

7. Cost estimation for implementation

• Formation of a detailed work plan for implementation
• Assessment of labor intensity and timelines for each stage
• Calculation of the total cost of industrial implementation
• Formation of a commercial proposal

Survey Results

As a result of the pre-project survey, the client receives:

• Survey Results Report — description of the current state of processes, identified problems, and recommendations
• Target Architecture of the Solution — interaction scheme of AI Technologist with the enterprise systems
• Technical Specification for Implementation — approved document with functional requirements and acceptance criteria
• Recommendation on Product Version — justification for the choice of the optimal version
• Implementation Schedule — stages, timelines, responsible parties
• Commercial Proposal for Implementation — detailed cost estimate for industrial implementation
