Low Voltage · Data Center

Trained the symbol library to recognize their proprietary structured-cabling patterns.

A specialized low-voltage shop builds structured cabling for data centers. Their drawings use proprietary symbol conventions — generic AI tools struggled to recognize their fixtures correctly out of the box. The active-learning loop trained a custom recognizer over the first weeks of real bid work.

Challenge

What they were solving for

Data-center structured-cabling drawings use highly-specialized symbols that are not in any public training set. Generic AI was misclassifying enough fixtures that they couldn't trust the output.

Solution

How OmniTakeoff worked

Active-learning loop: vision claim → review queue → confirm/reject → ground-truth annotation → re-train. The loop was fed across multiple reference projects over the first weeks of bid work.

Outcome

What changed

Recognition accuracy improved meaningfully on their drawing style and the model keeps learning on every confirm. Specific accuracy curves and bid-cycle compression are shared under NDA on reference calls rather than published.

We feed it our drawings, we click the wrong calls, and within a few weeks it just gets our symbols. Being able to teach the model on our own dialect is the thing that mattered.
