Assistant Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The software makes finding info easier, and lets us improve our workflows" February 13, 2024 5.0 Pros I'm really happy with the easy to use UI, and they do regular updates. The support we've received during implementation from customer success has been super helpful in getting everyone on board. Cons I find it a bit difficult to understand the detailed specifications of the search function. Also, while the service is supposed to be used along with our internal management system, it lacks the ability to integrate with our functions like APIs, forcing us to rely on unstable RPA for tasks like entering information. I hope these areas will be improved. Review Source SH SEIICHI H. MEMBER Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Google search for Drawings" April 30, 2024 5.0 Pros To create less mistakes, we created PGs (Process Guides) by referencing past successful similar cases. Even new guys can easily search for similar drawings, letting them create PGs based on them as references. This means that other veteran employees don't need to directly educate them on PGs created by them, as new employees can learn the methods of PG creation on their own. Cons It would be great if the system could optimize searches based on similar past searches. Hoping for better usability when searching and viewing differences in similar drawings. If the system reads drawings as 3D shapes, it'd be really helpful if it could show more accurate differences regardless of how the drawings were scanned or in PDF format. Review Source MS MORI S. Manage Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### " Improves our efficiency! " February 6, 2024 4.0 Pros For drawing management, being able to search for items such as shape and tags that other systems cannot search for allows for much smoother use. In the future, it seems that we'll be able to improve this through price verification and adding defect information. Cons There are some quirks with the functionality: When logging in for the first time, you're prompted to register a password from the password change screen. It's only the first time, but was a bit confusing. I'd like more permission control. Some drawings that appear similar are not actually very similar when using the similarity search, depending on how many similar drawings we have stored. Enhancement of the difference display function. Even a slight misalignment results in the entire content being treated as a difference. Addition of upload functionality for basic information. Review Source KH KYOHEI H. Assistant Manager Semiconductors Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Expanding the Utilization of Drawings" November 30, 2023 5.0 Specifically, we have seen a significant improvement in operational efficiency and cost reduction. New features are being released one after another, so we expect the scope of utilization to expand even further in the future. We are considering using the system not only in the purchasing and design departments, but also in other departments. Pros The similarity search has contributed greatly to our cost reduction activities by allowing us to select appropriate suppliers and link purchasing information. The OCR search has also improved the searchability of drawings, which has greatly reduced the time previously spent 'looking for drawings'. Cons Revisions, tags, and remarks need to be manually entered. Review Source SM Shigeru M. Executive Officer Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An Essential Tool for the Purchasing Department" November 27, 2023 5.0 Pros The CADDi DRAWER Application Support Department is working with us to help us establish the use of CADDi DRAWER within the company. Our requests are also reflected in the software as they emerge in updates. The speed of this process is also very fast. Six months have passed since the introduction of CADDi DRAWER. Thanks to them, CADDi DRAWER has become an indispensable item for our purchasing staff. Cons Difference analysis and search for similar drawings from punch pictures could use slight improvement because of drawing complexity. In the future, purchasing operations will change dramatically if it becomes possible to provide quotations from DRAWER and recommendations for ordering vendors and ordering unit prices. Review Source KN Kotaro N. Deputy　GM Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Anyone Can Find and Use Drawings" February 23, 2024 5.0 Being able to view costs for each part, the ability to have anyone search for drawings, and efficiency improvements all exceed expectations. Pros The search speed for searching is great, and the accuracy of the information extracted is very high. We have high expectations for the software's future development! Cons We're expect integration of peripheral systems in the future such as estimating, SCM, etc. Review Source YY YILI Y. \- Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Search tool for drawings" February 15, 2024 5.0 Pros 1) Searching has become very easy and quick. 2) Finding similar drawings has really boosted productivity. 3) Being able to link order info to drawings means we can look up multiple things all in one place with CADDi DRAWER. Cons 1) If we could narrow down the search categories, I think it would make the search results more accurate. 2) It would be easier to use if they could expand the sorting options. Review Source hT hiromasa T. CEO Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Convenient Tool That Makes Research Easy and Accessible" November 21, 2023 4.0 It serves as a starting point for searching information on past order records, production records of programs, and estimated pricing. Pros Designed with very user-friendly operability, the search and display responses are excellent, minimizing stress for users. Cons While there are user-related issues, the lack of seamless integration, association, and collaboration with other information makes CADDi DRAWER fall short of being a necessary tool. Without addressing this, there is a lack of cost-effectiveness and satisfaction. Review Source tS tsuyoshi S. Manager Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A useful tool for streamlining design and procurement." January 30, 2024 5.0 Pros With similarity search, we can check if costs make sense and find reusable parts, which helps us cut down on making new drawings and estimate costs better. Cons Doing image searches for similar stuff is tough, especially with 3D captures. It'd be super helpful if we could highlight specific balloon codes in assembly drawings like we do with differential functions for easier checking. Review Source YT Yosuke T. Deputy GM Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Essential for Working Efficiently" December 11, 2023 5.0 Pros Using Drawer, you can approach drawings easily. It takes no time at all to search, and the results can be checked immediately. The results can also be quickly referred to in a similar way. I realize how much less stressful it is to be free from the hassle of having to open each drawing. Cons You cannot currently sort during the drawing search. This is unfortunate, as sorting allows for a variety of approaches to search results. In addition, it can be difficult to check drawings on mobile devices. Review Source KH Koji H. General Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Eliminates some of our work assignments" February 7, 2024 5.0 Pros The system instantly searches for and displays drawings suitable for our needs from the vast number of drawings created in the past. The conventional drawing search time has been greatly reduced and specific drawing search skills are almost no longer required. Cons I would like to see the part of the drawing highlighted so that I can see which part of the drawing the specific search term was applied to. Review Source JS Jun S. General Staff Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Make your work easier." February 6, 2024 5.0 Pros The drawing search is way easier and quicker now, so my daily work is smoother, and I'm feeling less stressed out. Cons I'm hoping for efficient searching of documents other than drawings and in work efficiency before and after drawing searches, because they're very responsive. Review Source KI Keisi I. Leader Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I'll analyze drawings I'm not sure about in DRAWER." December 6, 2023 5.0 Pros Quick search and easy to find similar drawings. Improvements are frequent and expected to grow. Cons Operations are delayed in the process after the drawings are found (printing drawings, moving drawings to other software to share with others, etc.). Review Source KK KENTARO K. CEO Machinery Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Drawer lets us share and store drawings easily" February 20, 2024 4.0 Pros I really like how simple the similar drawing search function is.

Pros Drawer evolves daily to incorporate user requests through updates. Drawings can be utilized and monitored numerically in detail (by ID). Cons It would be even better if price reasonableness (for reviewing past quotes) could be evaluated numerically Review Source RA RIKU A. member Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "W love the similar drawing search" April 19, 2024 5.0 Pros Because the new hires are not quite up to speed on reading drawings yet, using drawer lets them to find similar ones quickly, Cons Since we often search by drawing number, it would be helpful if we could enter any character in the middle of the drawing number instead of aligning it to the left when inputting. Review Source hO hajime O. Staff member Machinery Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An Ever-Evolving Softwarwe" January 25, 2024 5.0 I think the excellent customer support that helps establish the tool as a regular part of our operations is outstanding. the Customer Success team is great and very useful when we have questions. Pros The search speed is very fast and has a very good viewer. The accuracy of the similarity search is also exact.

Assistant Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Important tool for efficiency and uniformity" February 1, 2024 5.0 Pros Search results are based on the similarity of character strings and shapes. This is important for our company's drawings, which often have similar shapes due to subtle differences in shape or different numbering systems between departments. Cons The basic UI is easier to use than our previous drawing management system, and if we could have traced back the sub-numbers, we would have been able to migrate almost all of our drawings to CADDi DRAWER.

February 14, 2024 5.0 Pros I typically handle design work and often find myself needing to search for drawings. In the past, looking for drawings used to take up a lot of my time because I was mostly searching on memory. However, thanks to the keyword search and similar shape search features of Drawer, I can find old drawings a lot faster. This system has definitely made me more efficient. Cons The price point depends on how many drawings are in the company. We are currently only using Drawer in the production dept., but I'd like to see it used by Sales and other teams. Review Source TH Tetsuya H. Assistant Manager Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Navigator (issue identification, policy)" December 6, 2023 5.0 Pros It seamlessly guides us from finding similar components to purchasing information.
