BOMproof

Platform

One workspace for model, drawing and bill of materials.

Upload your STEP model, drawings and bill of materials (BOM) per assembly. BOMproof checks them against each other and shows every deviation right where it sits. You stay in control.

01 A check

How does a check work?

One click on Start check. What happens next, in four steps.

  1. 01

    Read

    Product structure, positions and materials from the STEP, text and bill of materials from every drawing, rows from the Excel. Plain code, no AI yet.

  2. 02

    Review

    Model, bill of materials and drawing are reviewed at the same time, each by its own AI specialist with only the data it needs.

  3. 03

    Summarize

    Duplicate comments are removed. You get one report with a summary and suggested next steps.

  4. 04

    Point out

    Every comment gets a place: a pin on the part in 3D and a balloon in the right view on the drawing.

engineer

Reviews the comments, ticks off what has been handled and decides on the release

Method

Counting and measuring is done by deterministic code on your own files; the AI specialists only judge what a deviation means. Every check ends as a proposal with a source for each comment: you tick off and decide on the release. Is something on this page not right? Email info@bomproof.nl, and we will correct it and note the new date here.

02 Check points

What does BOMproof check in your STEP model?

The same points for every design. Counting and measuring is done by code, the AI judges what a deviation means.

Check A

3D model

Design errors you do not see in the tree and only notice on the shop floor.

Check points

  • A1 Parts placed twice in exactly the same spot, including whole subassemblies
  • A2 Parts that touch nothing, with the gap in mm
  • A3 The same geometry under different names
  • A4 Missing or default materials, such as Default (Generic is ignored)
  • A5 Standard parts whose size does not match the name (indicative)
  • A6 Sheet metal that can be formed: bend radius against thickness (DIN 6935), holes out of the bend zone, flange long enough
  • A7 Fits in the model (H7/k6 and the like), no clamping without a fit specification
  • A8 Bolt holes that match the bolt (ISO 273), with edge distance and a head you can reach (VDI 2230)
  • A9 Coating and hot-dip galvanising accounted for: threads masked, layer thickness in the fit

Check B

Bill of materials

The BOM from Excel and from the drawing, line by line against the product structure of the model.

Check points

  • B1 Quantities per position against the quantity in the model
  • B2 Lines that do not occur in the model
  • B3 Parts in the model that are not on the BOM
  • B4 Indented BOMs: number of times the parent assembly
  • B5 Formula errors such as #REF! in the Excel
  • B6 DN, PN and thread type complete per fitting (flange standard, R or NPT included)
  • B7 Make or buy correct per line: own part with drawing, purchased part with supplier and type
  • B8 Standard parts fully described with standard, size, class and finish, no bare M12

Check C

Drawing

Title block, revisions and materials on the drawing against the model and the other drawings.

Check points

  • C1 Drawing number, revision, title and date against file name and model
  • C2 Revision table and notes: contradictions and typos
  • C3 Materials on the drawing against the materials in the model
  • C4 Main dimensions against the dimensions of the model
  • C5 Contradictions between multiple drawings
  • C6 Welds fully indicated (ISO 2553) with WPS number in the flag, no seam without paperwork
  • C7 NDT requirements concrete per weld group: method, extent and class (EN ISO 5817)
  • C8 Tightening torques and thread locker on the drawing or assembly sheet, no dry bolt without a torque

Custom check

A check model for your product group.

The standard check looks at the same points for every design. Do you have your own rules for your product group, such as agreements with the workshop or recurring mistakes you always want to catch? Then we build a custom check model that runs alongside the standard check.

How it works

  • D1 Your own check points for your product group, standards and agreements
  • D2 We build and maintain the model, you stay in control of the release
  • D3 Can be combined with Team or Enterprise, also alongside PDM and ERP

03 Dashboard

Everything for an assembly in one place.

No more loose folders of exports. Model, drawings, bill of materials and comments are together, per assembly.

  • Projects and assemblies

    Your assemblies per project, each with a STEP model, one or more drawings and a bill of materials. Dragging is uploading.

  • 3D model

    Rotate and zoom in the browser, with the comments as pins on the parts. Large designs too, without a CAD license.

  • Drawing

    Every PDF drawing with the comments as balloons on it. Download or print with the comments next to the drawing.

  • Bill of materials and structure

    The Excel bill of materials per tab, and the product structure from the model as an expandable tree with search.

  • Checklist

    Tick off each comment that has been handled. Ticked pins and balloons turn grey, so you see what is still open.

  • Report versions

    Every check is kept as its own version. After a change you check again; earlier reports can always be viewed.

04 Files and integrations

Works with the STEP, PDF and Excel you already have.

You export a STEP from your own CAD package and use your existing drawings and bill of materials. We build integrations with PDM and ERP together with our pilot customers.

05 Security, storage and GDPR

Your files stay in the EU.

Models and drawings are years of work and your company's intellectual property. That is why they are kept in the EU, encrypted and separated per company, and nobody uses them to train AI. Below is exactly how, so your IT department can check it.

  • Stored in the EU

    Models, drawings and BOMs are kept in storage that may only be located within the European Union. Project data and reports are at Google Cloud in Europe, and the checks run in Belgium.

  • Encrypted, in transit and at rest

    Everything travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Stored files and data are encrypted with AES-256.

  • Separated per company

    For every file and every report the server checks again who you are and whether you are a member of the company. Administrators and users each have their own rights. Other companies see nothing of your projects.

  • Not used for training

    Your engineering data does not train AI models, neither ours nor those of the providers we work with. The CAD file itself never goes to the language model, only the extracted data a check needs.

  • You decide, everything recorded

    A report is a proposal; an engineer ticks things off. Every check is kept as its own version, with the steps the check took. That way you can later see what a comment was based on.

  • Delete whenever you want

    A deleted file can be restored for 30 days; if you want it gone immediately, delete it permanently from the trash. After your subscription ends we delete your engineering data within 30 days.

Where your files are kept

BOMproof storage in the EU

Cloudflare R2, EU jurisdiction

Location
EU jurisdiction: files are stored only within the European Union.
Encryption
Stored encrypted (AES-256) and only sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).
Access
Only members of your company. For every file your login, your membership and an active subscription are checked again.
Download links
Signed and valid for 12 hours; after that a shared link no longer works.
Checks
The check only reads the files, from Google Cloud in the EU (Belgium). Project data and reports are also kept in Europe, at Google Cloud.
GDPR
Cloudflare (files) and Google (project data, checks) are sub-processors. Read the privacy statement
Language model
For a check, only the extracted data goes to the language model (structure, text and bill of materials rows), not the CAD file itself.

Soon you choose yourself, per company

The storage of your company is in the company settings. Right now that is BOMproof storage in the EU; your own storage follows.

  • BOMproof storage in the EU Available

    Your files are kept in a separate storage space at Cloudflare that may only be located in data centers within the European Union. You do not have to set anything up.

  • Own storage (S3-compatible) Roadmap

    Files go to storage you manage yourself, such as a NAS with S3 support (Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, MinIO) or a bucket at a provider of your choice. BOMproof then only keeps the project and report data.

  • Local files Roadmap

    Nothing is uploaded: you open the files from your own drive and BOMproof only keeps the reports.
