Pavel Samuta Systems Architect | Engineering Risk Consultant | Mechanical Engineer (R&D, production) for B2B/B2G projects — value > $2B

I’ve spent years as a production engineer watching companies lose thousands — sometimes millions — not because of bad suppliers, but because they didn’t know what questions to ask.

Procurement managers, project leads, even business owners make decisions based on price, lead times, and promises. But technical specs hide risks in materials, coatings, tolerances. Without engineering insight, "savings" become losses: scrap, downtime, rework.

I love automating repetitive tasks. As an engineer, you get blueprints, specs, part photos from China, Germany, Turkey — in Chinese, English, DIN, GOST, ISO. Translating standards, finding material equivalents, checking tolerances eats hours.

Recently I built ENGINEERINGVISION for myself — a "digital engineer" that dissects blueprints, equipment photos, complex technical scenes. Not a commercial product yet, just my personal tool. But maybe useful to others — so here’s how it works.

ENGINEERINGVISION: From Manual Grind to Instant Analysis

Used to be: 1-2 hours per blueprint/KP manually — hunting material analogs, cross-checking standards, comparing quotes. Now: 5-10 minutes to actionable report.

What it does:

Upload anything: Blueprint, part photo, schematic, even 3D scene → extracts geometry (sizes, radii, angles), materials (with cross-standard analogs), coatings, tolerances, surface finish, critical zones.

Pick analysis protocol: Materials check, geometry validation, coatings compliance, standards match.

Get report: Highlights risks, recommendations, exact questions for suppliers.

100+ languages: Chinese spec? Translates technical terms, material codes, standards.

All major standards: ISO, ASME, BS, DIN, JIS, GOST/ESKD, GB. German DIN drawing? Auto-matches your GOST equivalents.

One-Page Solution: Blueprint + KP → Ready-to-Use Report

Not consulting. Not training. One page you use immediately.

Send blueprint (PDF/DWG) or commercial proposal → get report for ordering.

Part: MTB12.000 Pipe Application: TB line, 1000+ pcs batch Batch weight: 50kg

Material: 08ps steel (GOST 1050-2013) Equivalents: St12, 1.0330, HR2, Q195 (demand weldability MTC!) Weld zone: NO coating (verify MTC)

Critical specs: Coating: ISO 11408 black oxide (NOT zinc!) Tolerances: H14/h14, ISO 2768-mK Ra: 3.2 internal, 8.0 external

Checks required:

Weld QC photo BEFORE coating

Sample approval (3 pcs)

EN 10204/3.1 certificate

RFQ templates (copy-paste): RU: "MTC EN 10204/3.1 req, weld zone free of coating" EN: "MTC EN 10204/3.1 required, welding zone free of coating" CN: "要求EN 10204/3.1材质证书，焊接区无涂层"

Savings: China Q195: -15-20% price (+5% QC cost) EXW+sea: -12% vs DAP express

Recommendation: Supplier B (EXW 15 days) if >30 days needed, else A (DAP) Total savings: €1.2k per 1000 pcs batch

Why You Need This

Scenario: Ordering production parts. Quote says "stainless steel." Sounds solid. But which alloy? Weld-compatible? What if supplier slips cheap substitute that rusts in 6 months?

Without engineering eyes, you learn too late.

My service delivers:

Exact materials for your use case (+ safe cost-cut options)

Must-ask supplier checks (certificates, QC photos, samples)

Perfect RFQ wording to get what you need

True cost comparison (price + logistics + risks + lead time)

Like having a veteran engineer vet every quote in 5 minutes — no salary, no vacation.

Who Benefits

If you’ve faced any of these, this is for you:

Comparing supplier quotes, unsure which wins

Dealing with China/Turkey/EU suppliers, fear of getting scammed

Procuring parts/materials, need quality confidence

Non-engineer making shop-floor decisions

Want savings through smart choice, not corner-cutting

Client quote: "Thought I was saving picking cheapest supplier. Actually lost 3x more on scrap/downtime." After analysis, saved 28% on next batch — knew where to cut, where not.

How It Helps Me

Time: 1-2hr blueprint → 5-10min

Risk: Never miss criticals — auto-flagged

Negotiations: Pre-armed with exact questions

Confidence: Nothing slips on materials/tolerances/coatings

Why Not Monetized Yet?

Personal tool for now. Holding off because:

Unsure exact audience (engineers? procurement with tech background?)

Format unclear (mobile app? Part of full KP analysis service?)

Needs polish for broad use — simpler, more universal

How It Works

Send blueprint/KP (PDF, photo, AutoCAD export)

I analyze: materials, tech requirements, logistics, risks

Get one-page report — decision-ready, no fluff

Use it: pick best quote, clarify with supplier, revise order

Currently just my tool + occasional colleague demos. Might evolve into full KP analysis service — or stay personal.

Ideas welcome! How to evolve/apply? Open to discussion.

Test it: Engineers, procurement, tech-curious — send any blueprint/part photo. I’ll run ENGINEERINGVISION, show results.

Real Case: "Steel 08" Pipe for Chemical Plant

Quote said: "Steel 08" — seemed straightforward.

Reality: Multiple 08 grades; not all fit aggressive environments Risk: Wrong alloy = pipes rust in months Solution: Specified GOST 1050-2013 08kp, warned vs cheap China analogs sans certs Saved: €12k (replacement batch + downtime avoided)

Standard One-Page Report Contents

Part summary: Purpose, weight, key parameters

Materials + analogs: Equivalents + weldability notes

Critical requirements: Coatings, no-coat zones, Ra, tolerances

Risks + checks: Supplier must-provide (MTC, QC-photos, samples)

RFQ wording: RU/EN/CN ready-to-send

Savings spots: Cost reduction without quality loss

Quote comparison: Supplier A vs B (price/delivery/terms)

Part example: MTB12.000 Pipe — Steel 08 (GOST 1050-2013); analogs St12/RRSt3/1.0330/etc. Coating: ISO 11408 chem black oxide; weld zone bare. Tolerances H14/h14, ISO 2768-mK, Ra 3.2/8.0. Quick facts: 1000pcs=50kg; China analogs -15-20% but demand weld certs.

Supplier compare (no names): A: Lower unit but DAP express; total DAP higher for rush; 30-35d LT B: Higher EXW unit, sea DAP much lower; 15d EXW LT Pick: Speed-critical = transparent DAP; time-flexible = EXW+sea, request DAP calc

Watch for what?

KP hidden risks?

Perfect supplier questions?

Safe savings?

A or B supplier?

Flange example ("stainless steel" KP):

Exact: AISI 304 (=08Х18Н10)

Analogs: AISI 316 (harsh env), 430 (cheaper/less durable)

Risk: "China often swaps 304→201 — demand chem cert!"

Save: "No acids? 430 saves 15%, same life"

Get Started

DM me + send blueprint/KP. Free review in 24h. Assess — order expanded if fits.

Zero commitment. Test on your case.

Why I Do This

18yr engineer. Seen companies bleed cash on tiny misses: wrong material, processing, coating. Often not procurement’s fault — just lacks tech to ask right questions.

Not selling consulting. Delivering instant-use solution.

Want to stop procurement losses? Start with one blueprint. Send it — I’ll show how.

P.S. Client after first report: "Didn’t know how much I didn’t know. Now see why we had scrap issues." Don’t repeat — audit your buys before losses hit.

What Features Next?

Still shaping this. Your input matters:

Auto-RFQ generation from blueprint?

Procurement system integration (1C, SAP)?

Handwritten note recognition?

3D analysis (STEP/IGES)?

Other?

Comment/DM — need to know what users actually want.
