Extract data from legacy systems

Opens your legacy CAD and PDM through the screen, the way an engineer would, and extracts part data, revisions and drawings into a structured export. Engineering checks the result.

Read only. Engineering checks every export
Problem

Older CAD and PDM systems hold decades of part data, revisions and drawings. Getting it out usually means a migration project, or engineers clicking through screens and copying values by hand.

What it does

YP works in the application’s own screens with a read-only account. It searches parts, opens records, reads attributes and revisions and exports drawings to a shared folder, building one structured list engineering can check and reuse.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

The extraction starts on your request. A part list, a project or a schedule starts the run in your legacy CAD and PDM.

YP works through the same screens your engineers use. It uses a read-only account, and it needs no database access and no migration.

Every part record in the legacy system is read. The part number, description, material, revision and status are captured for each part.

The drawings and models are exported as well. They are saved to SharePoint, and each file is named by part and revision.

Engineering checks the result of every export. YP lists the gaps and the conflicting revisions, so engineering can resolve them.

The outcome

Decades of part data become usable without a migration project. The source system stays untouched.

01
1 record per part

Structured, with its drawings attached

02
5 values captured

Part number, description, material, revision and status

03
Engineering checks

Every export, taken with a read-only account

For your numbers

YP extracts part data and drawings from your legacy CAD and PDM, so engineering reuses past designs without paying for a migration.

How it runs

Designed for enterprise.

Private

Runs on your infrastructure. Drawings, prices, client and claims data never train a model.

Explainable

Not a black box. An AI auditor checks that every task was done as intended and proposes improvements.

Traceable

Every value links to the document, rule or record it came from. Every step is logged. A named person approves anything that leaves the building.

Your systems

Works in your ERP, CargoWise, policy system, GIS and file shares. Nothing is replaced.
