Extraction of dimension requirements from engineering drawings for supporting quality control in production processes

Pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities are also affected by the current digitalization process and transform their paper-based, document-oriented communication to a structured, digital information exchange. The documents exchanged so far contain a huge amount of information that needs to be transformed into a structured format to enable a more efficient communication in the future. In such a setting, it is important that the information extracted from documents is very accurate as the information is used in a legal, regulatory process and also for the identification of unknown adverse effects of medicinal products that might be a threat to patients’ health. In this paper, we present our layout-aware semi-automatic information extraction system LASIE that combines techniques from rule-based information extraction, flexible data management, and semantic information management in a user-centered design. We applied the system in a case study with an industrial partner and achieved very satisfying results.
