Industrial Component Finder

End spec-to-part confusion for industrial distributors and component makers. Help customers pick the right part first time and cut support load.

Why It Matters

Who this is for

Industrial distributors and component manufacturers in the UK and DACH.

The pains we remove

  • Returns from wrong-fit parts
  • Back-and-forth with support to clarify specs

Expected outcomes

Faster part selection, fewer wrong-fit returns, higher web conversion, and fewer repetitive tickets.

How It Works (Under the Bonnet)

A sophisticated system that transforms complex technical data into accurate, accessible product recommendations.

  1. Ingest & structure your data

    We ingest PIM/ERP/PLM data, product CSVs, and PDF datasheets, then unify them into a clean schema.

  2. Hybrid Graph + Vector retrieval (our edge)

    A product graph (relations, constraints, alternates) plus vector search (semantic match) to answer complex queries accurately.

  3. KB Watchdog keeps answers correct

    Flags contradictions when new specs or notices are added, keeping the knowledge base consistent over time.

  4. Experience layer: search, chat & guided filters

    Users can ask in natural language, refine with parametric filters, or chat for step-by-step guidance.

  5. Seamless handover to humans

    Creates a ticket with an AI summary, proposed resolution, and smart dispatch to the right team.

  6. Analytics dashboards

    Actionable dashboards that help leaders see coverage, accuracy, gaps, and conversion impact.

Key Capabilities

Powerful features designed specifically for industrial component selection and specification matching.

Spec-to-part matching

Users submit application specs; the agent returns compatible parts with clear “why this fits” explanations.

Cross-reference & equivalents

Recommends alternatives for shortages, costs or end-of-life, checked against constraints.

BOM upload & validation

Upload a BOM to validate items, highlight gaps, and propose substitutes.

Units, tolerances & ranges

Handles unit conversion (e.g., psi ↔ bar), tolerances, and min/max constraints.

Compatibility reasoning

Applies rules like “fits with series X only above 24V” and explains the decision.

Multilingual (EN/DE)

Surfaces products and answers in English and German.

Integrations

Connect seamlessly with your existing systems and workflows.

Ready connectors

Built-in connectors for support workflows, including Zendesk and Intercom.

Custom integrations via API

API hooks for ERP/CRM/PIM. New connectors delivered via a scoped implementation.

Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security with flexible hosting options and comprehensive access controls.

Data handling & retention

Encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, and UK/EU hosting options.

Access control & audit

Role-based access, audit trails, and SSO/SAML readiness. We do not currently hold external certifications; controls are engineered to enterprise standards and are audit-ready.

Proof & Social Trust

Real-world evidence of our technology's capabilities.

Client Spotlight: Math Angel

A short testimonial from math-angel.io with logo. While an education client, it evidences our ability to build structured knowledge graphs, integrate user/product data, and deliver accurate, personalised retrieval.

What to Expect in Your Consultation

Data review, success criteria, architecture fit (graph + vector), integration plan, timeline, and PoC scoping.

Compare Alternatives

See how AI Tech's Component Finder stacks up against other approaches.

Approach Limitations AI Tech Wins
Generic site search Ignores units, tolerances, and part-family logic; weak explainability. Full spec understanding
Static parametric filters Requires exact field knowledge; no semantic reasoning; slow for complex specs. Natural language queries
PDF catalogues & spec sheets High user effort, no cross-references, and no analytics. Instant, intelligent search
Build in-house Long runway to reach graph+vector quality; significant maintenance burden. Ready to deploy
Vector-only chatbots Miss relational constraints and alternatives, increasing the risk of poor suggestions. Hybrid graph + vector
