  • Patent number: 12299613
    Abstract: Techniques for computer science, data science, data analytics, computer software, algorithmic analysis, and networked technologies for sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, and supply chain management in small-to-medium manufacturing (“SMM”) industries that involve processes whereby implementing user input and extracted image and text from engineering drawings may be used to map manufacturing requirements to a subset of manufacturers via natural language agent programs. More specifically, natural language agent programs may be implemented to apply input and extracted image and text from engineering drawings to a large language model (“LLM”).

  • Patent number: 12282892
    Abstract: Techniques for data-driven requirements analysis and matching are described, including receiving an input from a notification service using a data network, the input including data associated with a requirement generated by an application configured to identify an attribute of the item, querying an endpoint in response to the input, the input being associated with a machine in data communication with a platform, transforming the input, the data, and a result to a data format using a logic module to generate match data to identify a vendor capable of manufacturing at least a portion of the item, ranking and transforming the match data to a different data format to render a display of resultant data transmitted by the platform to the notification service for display on one or more client devices used to procure a manufacturing, procurement, or distribution service for the item.

  • Publication number: 20240193539
    Abstract: Techniques for data-driven requirements analysis and matching are described, including receiving an input from a notification service over a data network, the input including data indicating a requirement used to manufacture, procure, or distribute an item, the requirement being generated by an application configured to identify an attribute of the item, querying an endpoint in response to the input, the input indicating a machine capable of manufacturing the item, transforming the input, the data, and a result to a data format using a logic module of the platform to generate match data identifying a supplier capable of manufacturing at least a portion of the item, ranking the match data, and changing the match data from the data format to another format used to render a display of resultant data from the match data presented on a display.
