PriceGuard AI is a multimodal AI platform for the automated analysis of material data and precise cost estimation of purchased components.
The system consolidates information from PLM, SAP, and other source systems and combines it with drawings, specifications, 3D geometries, and historical pricing data. Even incomplete or non-standardized data is processed, structured, and enriched using artificial intelligence.
Based on this, PriceGuard AI provides:
- transparent cost estimates
- structured material analyses
- early identification of outliers and cost drivers
- systematic data quality assessments
The platform creates a reliable decision-making basis for technical development, strategic procurement, and controlling – already in early project phases.
Features
AI-Supported Attribute Enrichment
AI-supported completion of missing attributes through comparison with similar materials and historical reference values.
AI Analysis of Existing CAD Files
Based on your previously created CAD files, AI-based analysis becomes possible. All available files are examined for patterns and rules and made available for centralized analysis.
Consolidation of Distributed Material Data
Consolidation of information from PLM, SAP, and other systems into a unified analysis foundation.
Multimodal Data Processing
Automatic extraction and processing of: 2D drawings, 3D geometries, specification documents, metadata, historical pricing information, as well as other relevant data sources.
AI-Based Cost Estimation
Algorithmic calculation of material, manufacturing, and structural costs, taking comparable components into account.
Detection of Outliers and Cost Drivers
Identification of unusual price and structural deviations within comparable material groups.
Customised programming is our home turf. In specialised sectors such as industry, technology and construction, standard software quickly reaches its limits. Kleen Software GmbH develops customised solutions - precisely tailored to your processes and goals. From consultation to implementation, your wishes take centre stage. Feel free to contact us!
Typical Challenges in Companies
In many organizations, relevant material information is:
- distributed across multiple systems
- historically evolved and inconsistent
- not fully maintained
- not structured for comparability
At the same time, pressure is increasing for:
- early cost transparency in development
- reliable calculation foundations in procurement
- robust forecasts in controlling
Manual analyses are time-consuming, fragmented, and highly dependent on the experiential knowledge of individual employees.
PriceGuard AI systematically automates this analysis.
Methodological Approach
PriceGuard AI is based on a multimodal AI architecture.
- Data collection and consolidation Aggregation of structured and unstructured data from enterprise systems.
- Geometry and document analysis Automatic extraction of technical drawings and 3D models.
- Intelligent data enrichment Completion of missing information based on historical comparison data.
- Clustering of comparable materials Grouping similar components for structured cost analysis.
- Algorithmic cost estimation Derivation of realistic cost ranges based on internal company references.
- Transparent presentation of results Explainable models instead of black-box evaluations.
Integration into Existing Processes
PriceGuard AI can be deployed flexibly:
- As a standalone platform
- As an on-premise solution with a dedicated AI server
- As an integrated CAD plugin
- As an analysis module within the development process
All data remains entirely within the company.
Data security and IP protection are central priorities.
