super.AI IDP cuts Bureau Veritas nameplate data processing time by 75% and data entry costs by 80%

The problem

Bureau Veritas inspectors photographed equipment nameplates and had to painstakingly enter model numbers, serial numbers, and manufacturing dates into asset management systems. A prior OCR solution improved accuracy but still required inspectors to manually select fields and nudge the tool, yielding no meaningful efficiency gain. The process took hours and caused momentum loss between onsite visits.

First attempt

Bureau Veritas implemented an OCR solution to capture data from serial plate photographs, but it fell short on efficiency — inspectors still had to manually select specific data fields and nudge the tool, keeping the process tedious despite the accuracy benefit.

“continues to improve on its own as it internalizes each new batch of data – and in turn, increasing the cost savings delivered by the automation over time”
Reported outcome

After implementing super.AI's IDP solution, Bureau Veritas achieved a 75% reduction in nameplate data processing time, more than 80% cost savings on data entry, 3X faster data processing, 150X processing scale increase, and $9M saved annually from reduced churn.
