Stop Manually Validating
Material Test Reports
Quality Engineers spend hours cross-referencing chemistry and mechanical properties against ASTM/ASME specs. We automate the extraction, enforce the spec library validation, and guarantee compliance before parts hit the floor.

Click through the interactive module below to see extraction and validation in real-time.
The High Cost of Manual MTR Processing
Every manufacturer receives MTRs in different, completely unstandardized formats. Relying on human eyes to verify complex tabular data against strict engineering specs is an operational bottleneck.
The Data Entry Bottleneck
Highly-paid Quality Engineers waste hours manually typing heat numbers, yield strengths, and carbon percentages into the ERP instead of focusing on actual quality control.
Scrap & Recall Risk
A single human typo or missed decimal point in a chemical property check can result in sub-standard materials entering production, leading to scrapped assemblies or catastrophic failure.
Audit Nightmares
When auditors arrive, tracing a specific component back to its original physical MTR paper trail is a slow, manual process prone to missing documentation.
The AI MTR Workflow
Built on the core DocAI Platform, the MTR module is a specialized, end-to-end agentic workflow that guarantees compliance.
Multi-Format Ingestion
Whether it's a clean PDF from a major mill or a skewed, scanned fax with a handwritten heat number, the platform automatically ingests and normalizes the document.
Deep Extraction
The AI parses complex tabular structures to extract Heat Numbers, Dimensions, Chemical Composition (C, Mn, P, S), and Mechanical Properties (Yield, Tensile, Elongation).
Spec Library Validation
This is our moat. Extracted values are instantly cross-referenced against your master spec library (e.g., ASME SA-240). If a material's carbon limit is >0.030% and the spec requires <0.030%, the system flags it immediately.
HITL & ERP Output
Any exceptions (low confidence or spec failures) are routed to our Human-in-the-Loop interface for manual SME review. 100% verified data is then pushed to your ERP.
Enterprise Architecture
Configurable Workflows for Enterprise Scale
DocAI isn't a rigid software box. It adapts to your physical realities—from how data enters the facility to how it is reported to auditors.
Omni-Channel Ingestion
- Mobile App Capture Snap a high-resolution photo of an MTR right on the factory floor for instant, on-site verification.
- Automated Email Fetch Configure the engine to monitor dedicated "MTR Inboxes" and process attachments in real-time.
- Supplier Portal Provide a secure gateway where vendors upload MTRs directly, receiving instant feedback on document completeness.
Configurable Validation Moat
- Spec Library Matching Instant validation against your digitized library of ASTM, ASME, or proprietary internal standards.
- PO Cross-Referencing Match incoming MTR data directly against your open Purchase Order requirements for exact grade/quantity.
- Custom Internal Rules Enforce highly unique compliance rules. If it’s too complex for automation, the workflow routes to an SME.
Flexible Output & Traceability
- Digital MTR Stamping Automatically append a "Validated" stamp or unique QR code directly onto the MTR PDF for visual traceability.
- 3.1 Cert Generation Transform raw, extracted data into polished EN 10204 3.1 Material Certificates or internal QMS templates.
- ERP Push & Chat with Data Push 100% clean data via API into SAP/Oracle, and interact with your entire MTR database using natural language queries.

MTR Validation FAQ
Detailed answers covering compliance pain points, spec library integration, custom model training, and output traceability.
Operational & Compliance Pain Points
Our engine replaces manual data entry with a deterministic validation layer that flags any deviation from your required specs. While generic AI merely extracts text, DocAI cross-references every chemical and mechanical value against your digital spec library to ensure 100% compliance.
Yes. The platform enforces strict Heat Number Traceability by cryptographically linking physical reports to digital records across your entire batch. If a heat number is missing or doesn't match the associated packing list, the system triggers an immediate HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) exception.
The Validation Engine includes a dedicated COO Logic Layer that automatically verifies the country of melt and manufacture against your specific procurement white-lists or trade restrictions (like Section 232 or CBAM).
The Spec & PO Validation Library
DocAI audits every report against a digitized library of ASTM, ASME, and your proprietary internal standards. The system identifies the material grade (e.g., 316L), pulls the required ranges for chemical and mechanical properties (Carbon, Manganese, Yield, etc.), and validates the actual test results against those limits.
Absolutely. Our PO Library integration cross-references incoming MTR data against your open PO requirements. This ensures that the material delivered matches exactly what was ordered in terms of quantity, grade, and testing requirements before it is accepted into inventory.
Customization & Model Training
It is strictly not a one-size-fits-all tool; every deployment involves a custom configuration of your specific validation logic. We recognize that every company has unique quality standards and supplier formats, so we build a custom Validation Moat around your specific business rules.
Yes. As part of our SaaS + Agency hybrid model, we conduct a high-volume historical data ingestion to "fine-tune" the ingestion engine on your unique document ecosystem. This custom training ensures the AI recognizes even the most obscure supplier layouts with high confidence.
Our engineers write the specific Rule-Based Validation logic to bind the platform to your internal standards. If a rule is too complex for 100% automation, the system routes it to your SMEs through our custom HITL interface for final verification.
