Kuken Industries searches 70 years of drawings in minutes

Kuken Industries makes cooling towers and HVAC equipment and holds one of the largest shares of Japan's cooling tower market. Its archive of drawings spans 70 years, and searching it used to take half a day on paper or required knowing the right file name or number after digitization. Built with Recursive on OpenAI models, the search app accepts part numbers or images of drawings and parts lists, and Kuken expects it to cut drawing search time by about 90% over a year.
