MakinaRocks to Demo Drawing AI Solution “DrawX” at Industrial AI Expo

MakinaRocks said it plans to unveil its AI solution, DrawX, at the 2026 Industrial AI Expo. The event will run from the 21st to the 23rd at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, and MakinaRocks plans to demonstrate DrawX on site.

DrawX is a drawing-based AI solution that uses drawing data accumulated at manufacturing sites. The solution converts drawings stored separately on PCs, email, and shared folders into data that AI can analyze.

When a drawing is uploaded, it extracts material, dimensions, and shape information, and structures key data for processing. During this process, related files and version information are organized as well.

DrawX is used for search, comparison, and cost analysis. Its main features include natural-language-based “smart search,” “similar drawing search,” which finds existing drawings with similar shapes, configurations, and attributes, and “change point comparison,” which detects changes by version. It also provides an “AI cost report” that reflects raw materials, processes, and risks, and offers a basis for determining whether to proceed with making a new drawing.

MakinaRocks judged the use of drawing data to be a key challenge in manufacturing AI transformation. In design, procurement, and production processes, drawing reviews are repeated, and under the conventional approach, the person in charge had to check numerous files directly. As a result, the company saw search, comparison, and quotation work as taking a great deal of time.

The company said it confirmed time-saving effects in real-world applications. A procurement team at one conglomerate applied DrawX to the review of dozens to hundreds of subdrawings by item, and as a result, drawing review and management time was cut by up to 90%. In the quotation process, providing supporting evidence and input values together also reduced differences among individual staff members.

At another large manufacturing company, quotation lead time was cut in half after DrawX was introduced. The time needed to determine whether production was possible fell from 3 days to less than 1 day, and the time required to deliver the final quotation was shortened from 4 days to 2 days. The labor input required for quotation work also fell by 60%.

MakinaRocks plans to introduce the use cases at a seminar in the exhibition hall on opening day, the 21st, and also plans to disclose ways to use AI for drawings. At the seminar, Han Jaehyeok, lead of the DrawX product strategy planning team, will give a presentation on the theme, “From drawing management to agents: How AI is changing drawing work.” Han is scheduled to demonstrate the drawing search process and the drawing comparison and analysis process.

Yoon Seong-ho, CEO of MakinaRocks, said the key to manufacturing competitiveness in the AI era lies in quickly connecting owned data to decision-making. He also said the company plans to advance technologies that can use accumulated drawing experience and standards in actual manufacturing work such as quotation and order-taking.
