New Synera Marketplace Add-in designed for engineers who want documents to stop slowing them down
Engineering workflows don’t slow down because engineers lack expertise. They stall because critical information is trapped in documents.
Specifications arrive as PDFs, Word documents, technical spec sheets, and supplier reports. Inside them are project constraints, part requirements, tolerances, materials, and acceptance criteria. Before any engineering work can begin, someone has to read, interpret, extract, and re-enter that information. At scale, this becomes one of the biggest hidden time sinks in engineering organizations.
The Cambrion Add-In for Synera is designed to eliminate exactly this friction and turn documents into first-class workflow inputs.
With this add-in, Synera workflows can now extract project and part requirements directly from the documents you already have, including PDFs and Word files. Instead of manually scanning RFQ packages, you send documents to a pre-configured Cambrion pipeline and receive structured JSON data back into your workflow.
“A huge amount of engineering time is lost simply getting information out of documents,” said Andrew Sartorelli, Head of Product at Synera. “This partnership with Cambrion is a very natural step toward what we’re building at Synera. By removing the time engineers spend pulling information out of documents, we accelerate everything that comes after. RFQs are one example, but the real impact is giving engineers back the time to focus on higher-value work without sacrificing speed.”
Customize data extraction to match your exact use case
What makes this powerful is not just extraction, but customization.
"Engineering logic is deterministic, but the documents that feed it are inherently unstructured. Cambrion solves this by turning unstructured data, such as in PDFs and spec sheets, into clean, structured JSON data that Synera workflows can use directly," said Dr. Daniel Tiarks, Co-Founder and CTO at Cambrion. "By defining data requirements in natural language, engineers can configure agentic AI pipelines for specific use cases in minutes. This ensures that relevant data flows into the workflow with the same precision as the engineering steps that follow.”
For Synera users, this means fewer manual steps between document, execution and driving downstream processes like simulation setup, parameter selection, validation checks, costing, or reporting. What previously required human interpretation now becomes an automated, auditable workflow step.
For Synera creators, this unlocks an entirely new time-saving feature. The Cambrion Add-In does not rely on fixed templates or parsing rules. Cambrion pipelines are configured externally to reflect real-world document variability. Once defined, the same pipeline can be reused across RFQs and projects without rework. You focus on how extracted data is used. Cambrion handles how it is understood, while processing data solely on secure EU cloud infrastructure or directly in your private cloud environment.
The connector supports both synchronous processing for real-time use cases and asynchronous processing for large documents or batch operations.
This is not just document automation. It’s AI enablement.
By bridging Synera workflows with Cambrion’s agentic AI pipelines, documents become part of your digital thread. Requirements can flow directly into engineering logic. Reports can feed automated evaluations. Specifications can trigger simulations without manual handoffs. The result is less friction, fewer errors, and faster iteration.
Importantly, Cambrion users define and manage their data extraction logic directly with Cambrion. Synera workflows consume the results as structured data. This separation ensures robustness, governance, and clear ownership while still enabling deep integration.
If you are building workflows today that still pause at document intake, this add-in is your next step. If you are scaling automation across teams and use cases, it removes one of the most persistent blockers to time-saving automation.
Visit the Synera Marketplace to install the Cambrion Add-In.
Use of this add-in requires an active Cambrion subscription and a valid API key. The configuration of the data extraction pipelines is managed within your Cambrion account.
