The collaboration aims to increase manufacturers’ efficiency and transparency through data-driven insights.
CHICAGO—CADDi, the developer of an artificial intelligence (AI) data platform for manufacturers, recently joined Google Cloud Partner Advantage as a Partner Level partner for Google Cloud in the Build Engagement Model, CADDi said in a release.
The collaboration is intended to enable manufacturers to streamline operations and unlock greater efficiencies through data-driven insights on Google Cloud. CADDi stated that since the company began (it was founded in 2017), it has leveraged Google Cloud’s infrastructure to power its platform, CADDi Drawer. The platform digitizes and centralizes manufacturing data to improve cost transparency, collaboration, and supply chain efficiency.
“Through this collaboration, CADDi now takes a significant step as a recognized Google Cloud partner, providing advanced data solutions to manufacturers worldwide,” the release stated.
By using the power of Google Cloud, CADDi can offer multiple benefits, beginning with document digitization and centralization. CADDi Drawer converts engineering drawings, technical documents, and other critical records into a fully searchable digital archive, reducing reliance on paper-based systems and improving information accessibility. The platform allows manufacturers to quickly locate and retrieve essential documents, reducing time spent searching for historical records and improving overall operational efficiency, the company said.
“Using AI image recognition, CADDi Drawer instantly finds drawing records that have similar design features, turning tedious manual lookups from hours of searching into instant results,” the release stated.
Among the additional benefits are secure and scalable data management and the ability to collaborate across teams. CADDi Drawer is reported to offer a secure framework for storing sensitive design data, with scalable infrastructure to support manufacturers of all sizes. Andy by centralizing critical documentation, CADDi Drawer enhances collaboration between engineering, maintenance, and procurement teams, ensuring that “everyone has access to up-to-date information when they need it,” the company said.
In addition, Google Cloud’s AI and search capabilities are said to align with CADDi’s mission statement. Google Cloud is built to handle the deep and context-aware, natural searching that forms the core of CADDi’s offerings, according to the release.
“As a company deeply committed to transforming the manufacturing industry through data, we are thrilled to advance our work with Google Cloud,” said Yushiro Kato, co-founder and CEO of CADDi, in the release. “Joining the Partner Advantage program reinforces our mission to make manufacturing more efficient and transparent through digital innovation, helping our customers solve their most pressing challenges.”
Through its work with Google Cloud, CADDi said it “aims to accelerate digital transformation in manufacturing by providing tools that help companies improve productivity, streamline data management, and reduce operational costs.”
