Case Study: China General Nuclear Power Group achieves automated, accurate extraction of engineering designs with ABBYY FlexiCapture

ABBYY FlexiCapture® Processes Engineering Designs for a Chinese Nuclear Power Giant

China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN), a major state-owned clean-energy and engineering conglomerate, was overwhelmed by years of paper engineering drawings, blueprints and technical schemes. The volume and variability of documents made retrieval slow and costly, storage space prohibitive, and risked data loss, while manual data entry proved too slow, error-prone and expensive.

CGN engaged ABBYY FlexiCapture via a local partner to automate capture of printed and handprinted Chinese documents using flexible templates and OCR/ICR. The solution was set up in one day with brief template training, ran 24/7 to extract and verify data (then exported to SAP), and completed digitization in one year—delivering automated extraction, faster access, reduced labor and storage costs, and reliable, high-accuracy handling of Chinese scripts.
