Customer

A Dutch manufacturing company specializing in high-precision door systems and interior solutions, with around 1M production units annually

Challenge

The company relied on engineers to manually analyze architectural blueprints. While the process is standard practice across the industry, it is repetitive and time-consuming, requiring skilled professionals to spend days identifying rooms, doorways, and layout constraints. The customer recognized an opportunity to automate this task and free up professionals for higher-value work while also improving accuracy and efficiency in planning.

The business needed a scalable way to convert complex blueprints into structured, actionable data, without relying on manual effort.

Solution

Brimit developed a flexible AI-based blueprint recognition framework capable of interpreting architectural plans in real time. While the initial implementation focused on room and doorway detection, the architecture supports a broad range of blueprint analysis tasks across different industries.

Key elements of the solution included:

  • An ensemble of custom-trained computer vision models to detect rooms and doors
  • A proprietary dataset of annotated blueprints for high-accuracy training
  • A .NET-based application for managing datasets and running inference workflows
  • A multi-format training pipeline (YOLO, COCO, Roboflow) for continuous optimization
  • A real-time detection API integrated with the client’s planning system
  • Automated workflows that convert recognition results into logistics and production forecasts

Results

  • Minutes to interpret architectural plans instead of days of manual blueprint analysis
  • High-accuracy detection for critical architectural elements (doors, rooms)
  • Smarter manufacturing planning to provide precise equipment placement and meet resource needs, without costly missteps
  • Optimized production and on-time logistics thanks to precise resource allocation and forecast automation

An AI framework to support a broad range of business tasks

Brimit designed a modular AI framework to support a wide range of blueprint analysis scenarios.

  • Electrical & HVAC component detection (for smarter facility retrofitting)
  • Accessibility compliance checks (e.g., ADA door widths, corridor clearance)
  • Construction progress monitoring via plan-versus-reality comparisons
