Unlocking Engineering Insights Hidden in Years of Internal Documentation

Client Background 

The client is a global automotive component supplier operating across multiple engineering, manufacturing, and service locations. Over the years, the organization had generated an extensive volume of technical documentation across teams and regions. Much of this information was handwritten, stored in silos, or inconsistently formatted, leaving critical engineering knowledge underutilized despite its potential to inform product reliability and service performance. 

Client’s Challenge 

The client had accumulated a vast archive of technical data, including field service reports, engineering notes, and internal correspondence, most of it unstructured, handwritten, or inconsistently formatted. Conventional tools lacked the context to interpret cross-functional patterns or link recurring issues to actionable outcomes. Manual analysis was unfeasible, and the organization risked missing critical quality insights that could improve product reliability and service performance. The brief to Mordor Intelligence was to unlock this knowledge and deliver an accessible intelligence framework for continuous use. 

How Mordor Intelligence Helped 

Centralized and Structured Internal Knowledge 

• Aggregated handwritten and digital technical documents from global teams into a unified, searchable repository.
• Standardized inputs across engineering, service, and manufacturing functions to support comparative analysis. 

Applied Contextual AI for Pattern Discovery 

• Deployed reasoning-led analytics to surface recurring defects, failure triggers, and environment-specific patterns.
• Mapped insights across part codes, fault histories, repair effectiveness, and regional variation. 

Built a Scalable Framework for Ongoing Use 

• Delivered a flexible knowledge base that engineering and quality control teams could continuously update and access.
• Linked findings to specific processes and components to support redesign and service intervention decisions. 

Key Findings 

• Historical repair logs revealed recurring part failures under specific usage conditions that had not been flagged before.
• Cross-referencing handwritten engineering notes with service records exposed common root causes behind regional performance variations.
• Several design improvement opportunities emerged that had previously been dismissed due to siloed information.
