Quote high-variant programs with the full engineering picture.
Nyotta reads the drawings, specifications, variants, quantities, and commercial inputs behind a program. It helps your team resolve the package into structured BOM, feasibility, cost, and quote-support work with evidence attached.
Alternate clears the performance requirement but conflicts with a material note. Surfaced for engineering review rather than substituted.
One workflow across component and system context.
Mechanical components
Dimensions, tolerances, materials, processes, finishes, and other inspectable requirements.
Electrical systems
Connections, materials, quantities, configuration logic, and applicability across variants.
Thermal and sealing systems
Layered material, interface, tolerance, and performance requirements across the assembly.
Assemblies and programs
Relationships between components, specifications, revisions, volumes, and quote obligations.
A quote is only as complete as the package behind it.
Automotive RFQs combine dense engineering documents, variant logic, changing revisions, commercial schedules, and knowledge distributed across functions. Reviewing each file independently makes it difficult to see omissions and understand their downstream impact.
High document volume
Critical details are spread across drawings, specifications, workbooks, and correspondence.
Variant complexity
Parts, quantities, and requirements change across applications and configurations.
Revision risk
Late changes can affect scope, feasibility, cost, and commercial commitments.
Disconnected expertise
The reasoning required to quote often lives with individual engineers rather than in a reusable system.
Built around the work between RFQ receipt and quote approval.
Four deliverables. Each one reviewable on its own, and each one traceable to the sheet, spec clause, or workbook cell it came from.
Drawing set and variant matrix intake
Identify required deliverables, engineering inputs, commercial terms, missing information, and ownership across the package.
Variant-resolved BOMs
Structure parts, materials, quantities, and applicability while preserving exceptions and evidence for review.
Cost and feasibility analysis
Connect design features, process assumptions, materials, supplier inputs, and risk to an editable quote model.
Engineering change (ECN) impact on a live quote
Show what changed, what the change affects, and which technical or commercial decisions need to be revisited.
From RFQ received to quote-ready engineering work.
Receive
Collect the drawings, specifications, schedules, and commercial documents that define the request.
Read
Extract requirements, features, quantities, revisions, and quote inputs from the source package.
Resolve
Connect variants, applications, dependencies, exceptions, and conflicts across documents.
Check feasibility
Can we actually make it? Machine and forge routes are checked against your own in-house criteria, each check citing the requirement number it read.
Estimate
Prepare editable BOM, cost, and risk views for the responsible functions.
Approve
Let engineers and commercial owners verify the evidence, resolve open items, and approve the work.
One package, walked through.
A splined flanged hub, Rev A — from the files landing to an engineer signing the work, feasibility included. Pick a stage.
Every file in the package indexed and matched to one part number: the drawing sheets, the STEP model, the material specification, a fourteen-tab commercial workbook, eleven messages of clarifications, and the supplier’s forging quote.
Make the quote easier to review and defend.
The number matters less than whether the room can see how it was reached.
Better coverage
See which requirements and source files have been addressed and which still need attention.
Clearer variant logic
Applicability and quantity decisions are visible instead of buried in spreadsheet formulas or personal knowledge.
Connected cost and feasibility
Reviewers get the evidence and the assumptions behind the estimate, not just the total.
Reusable program knowledge
Approved decisions are preserved, so similar work does not begin from zero.
Questions from Tier-1 teams.
What kinds of parts does Nyotta quote?
Machined and cast components, gears and shafts, stampings and forgings, welded and fabricated assemblies, wire harnesses and electrical systems, thermal and sealing parts, moulded and extruded parts, springs, fasteners, bearings and multi-part sub-assemblies. The common factor is a drawing package with enough on it to define the part, rather than a particular commodity or process. For a part family Nyotta has not scored before, accuracy is measured against your own released data before anyone quotes a number from it.
Can Nyotta build a BOM from a drawing that has no BOM table?
Yes. Nyotta builds the parts list from the drawing content itself, which matters because most RFQ packages arrive without a table to read. It works across every sheet in the package, reading callouts, annotations, symbols, partial tables and inline notes, and assembles them into a structured bill of materials with each line traced to where it was found. Anything it cannot resolve is raised as an exception rather than guessed.
Can Nyotta read a scanned drawing with no text layer?
Yes. Scanned prints are read as images, with OCR used as supporting evidence for locating text rather than as the source of truth for part numbers. Where a value or a part number reads wrong, that region of the image is re-read at higher resolution instead of a fuzzy match being accepted.
Can Nyotta extract GD&T, dimensions and tolerances from a print?
Yes. Nyotta extracts dimensions with their tolerances, geometric tolerancing frames and datums, threads, surface finish, material and heat treat requirements, and drawing notes. Untoleranced dimensions receive the general tolerances named in the title block, such as ISO 2768. Each characteristic carries its location on the sheet, so a reviewer can jump from any line to the place it came from.
Does Nyotta balloon drawings for PPAP and PFA?
Yes. Nyotta numbers each extracted characteristic, places a balloon at its location using the standard engineering drawing grid, and exports a ballooned PDF alongside a feature inventory workbook. The workbook separates bores, tapped and through features, surfaces, geometric tolerance frames and process notes, and lists coverage gaps so a reviewer can see what was not resolved.
How does Nyotta handle variants and quantity breaks?
Nyotta resolves variants from the drawing package and produces one quantity set per configuration instead of a single merged list. Applicability printed on the sheet overrides any default the model would otherwise assume. Where two parts of a package disagree about which build a component belongs to, the conflict is held for review instead of resolved silently. Per-variant quantities are checked line by line against the print they came from.
What can Nyotta read?
Send the package as your customer sent it, in any format, including documents nested inside other documents. Nyotta reads 2D drawings as vector PDFs, scanned PDFs and image files, 3D CAD models, and the specifications, standards, variant tables, bid forms and correspondence alongside them. Spreadsheets are read structurally, cell by cell, including formulas and dependencies. If a person can read it, Nyotta can read it.
