Mechanical engineering
Engineering knowledge lives in drawings, standards, test reports and design reviews collected over decades.
The challenge
Section titled “The challenge”- Teams redesign parts that already exist under another number.
- Lessons from past failure analyses are forgotten.
- Standards and test reports are hard to search by meaning.
Why SrvDB fits
Section titled “Why SrvDB fits”- Part and design search by functional description.
- Failure-analysis retrieval: find past investigations that match a new failure.
- Runs on engineering workstations, offline, with no server to manage.
Five projects, five levels
Section titled “Five projects, five levels”Each project has its own page: the problem, how SrvDB powers it, what changes, architecture, use cases, core code and limits.
| Level | Project | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Beginner | Part Finder | Find existing parts by describing what they do. |
| 2 · Intermediate | FMEA Assistant | Drafts and reviews FMEAs grounded in past FMEAs and failures. |
| 3 · Advanced | Vibration Signature Matcher | Matches vibration signatures to known fault patterns. |
| 4 · Expert | Geometric Design Search | Search CAD models by shape using 3D shape embeddings. |
| 5 · Frontier | Simulation Lookup | Find the nearest previously simulated cases before running a new simulation. |
