Powerful Features for Modern Manufacturing
CAI Intake transforms chaotic cutlist data into structured, optimized production data. Here's what makes it powerful.
AI-Powered Parsing
Advanced OCR and AI extract data from handwritten notes, scanned documents, and messy spreadsheets — and flag the fields they're unsure about so you verify what matters.
- Handwriting recognition
- Multi-format support (PDF, images, Excel)
- Intelligent data extraction
- Learning from corrections
Smart Material Matching
Automatically matches parsed materials to your organization's material library with confidence scoring.
- Fuzzy matching algorithms
- Material library integration
- Edgeband auto-matching
- Thickness detection
Sheet Optimization & Nesting
Nest parts onto stock sheets to cut waste, with kerf, grain direction, and offcut reuse handled for you.
- Guillotine & true-shape nesting
- Grain-aware part rotation
- Kerf & trim allowances
- Offcut and waste reporting
Multi-Format Export
Send optimized cutlists straight into the software you already run on the shop floor.
- MaxCut, CutList Plus & CutRite/Holzma
- CAI 2D optimizer & CAI JSON
- Branded PDF & custom CSV templates
- REST API export with webhooks
Team Collaboration
Work together with role-based access and real-time status tracking.
- Organization workspaces
- Role-based permissions
- Activity tracking
- Shared material libraries
Operations Support
Full support for edgebanding, grooves, holes, and CNC operations.
- Edgeband configuration
- Groove profiles
- Hole patterns
- CNC routing paths
Quality Assurance
Built-in validation and a review queue surface the fields the AI is unsure about — before they reach the saw.
- Confidence scoring
- Human review queue
- Error highlighting
- Audit trails
