n8n Automation Setup for Manufacturing Workflow
We are looking for experts to implement an end-to-end automation system using n8n to streamline engineering and production workflows.
Objective
Automate the full process from drawing receipt to production output.
We are looking to implement a robust and production-ready system that automates the end-to-end process of receiving customer drawings and generating manufacturing-ready outputs.
Workflow Overview
1. Input Phase
Customer drawings (PDF, DWG, images) received via automated Email or WhatsApp listeners.
2. Processing Phase (AI Driven)
Extract key dimensions and specs using AI (Vision API). Classify part types (shaft, tube, ring, nozzle, etc.) and convert to standardized manufacturing format.
3. Output Phase
Generate AutoCAD scripts, structured drawing data, QC inspection sheets (Excel), and step-by-step Manufacturing SOPs.
Integrations Required
- Data Storage: Google Drive or local server integration.
- Notifications: WhatsApp/Email alerts for status updates.
- ERP Ready: Architecture suitable for future SAP Business One integration.
What We Expect
- Robust and production-ready solution.
- Modular and scalable architecture.
- Solution optimized for manufacturing domain.
Scope of Work
Detailed technical tasks required for successful project completion.
Setup & Config
Installation and configuration of a self-hosted n8n environment optimized for heavy workloads.
Workflow Creation
Design and implementation of the complete automation pipeline with logic branching and error handling.
AI Integration
Connecting with AI APIs (OpenAI/Vision) for high-accuracy technical drawing data extraction.
Excel Automation
Automated generation of structured QC inspection sheets and manufacturing SOP documents.
Scalable Architecture
Designing a system that is ready for deep integration with ERP systems like SAP Business One.
Testing & QA
Ensuring the system handles various drawing formats and edge cases reliably in production.
