LAUDA × Cambrion
Supercharging quality control: From handwritten checks to automated validation.
Initial situation.
LAUDA is the world leader in precise temperature control. Their devices are used in critical environments where safety and accuracy are non-negotiable. Consequently, the final quality inspection involves rigorous documentation. Every machine comes with a detailed test protocol, typically 15 pages long, containing a mix of printed technical specs, handwritten measured values, technician signatures, and dozens of checkboxes verifying specific voltage configurations (e.g., US vs. EU standards).
The document processing challenge.
While LAUDA had already successfully deployed an internal company GPT for knowledge management, this specific quality assurance task remained a manual bottleneck.
Extreme complexity: A single document contains over 300 data points and dependencies (e.g., if Voltage is 230V, check box A; if 110V, check box B).
Hybrid data: Thoroughly cross-checking machine-printed text with variable handwriting and physical signatures.
Time drain: Manually reviewing and validating one protocol took a highly skilled technician 25–30 minutes. With thousands of protocols per year, this was a massive resource sink.
The transformation goal.
The Cambrion solution.
The missing link for end-to-end automation.
LAUDA integrated Cambrion as the intelligent extraction layer within a sophisticated Make.com automation workflow. Cambrion handles the "messy reality" of the document, structuring it for downstream processing.
Cambrion enables:
Massive schema handling: The pipeline manages a data schema with over 2,000 context definitions, capturing every single checklist item and measurement.
Handwriting & checkbox logic: Accurately digitizing handwritten inspector notes and validating checkbox states against the machine configuration.
Ecosystem integration: Cambrion sends the structured JSON to a validation logic, which checks for errors, fully automated on Make.com (see below). Finally, meinGPT drafts a human-readable summary report, which is emailed to the Process Owner automatically.
Quantifiable results.
>90% time savings: Processing time dropped from 30 minutes to under 1 minute per document.
Zero-fatigue validation: Unlike humans, the AI checks the 300th field with the same precision as the first, flagging outliers (e.g., "Voltage 218V out of tolerance") instantly.
Closing the AI Loop: Cambrion provided the missing piece, structured data, that unlocked further downstream automation and a sophisticated human-in-the-loop product release.
Why Cambrion.
More control than standard LLM or intelligent document processing (IDP) tools: A structured data schema enables repeatable, verifiable results.
One platform, many use cases: Test agentic pipelines on your most complex document use cases and add pipelines as your document processing needs evolve.
Model-agnostic by design: Use or switch between LLMs without being tied to a single provider’s tooling.
Built for internal AI competence: Create a reusable foundation for future document automation instead of adding yet another point solution.
Automate your document processing.
Cambrion eliminates the bottlenecks in document-based workflows.
