🏗️🤖 Peikko Smart Consultant

This is a proof-of-concept version of the product developed for Peikko company during Junction2024 Hackathon.

🚀 Overview

Peikko sells industrial connections for construction, such as beam-to-column connectors, and faces a common problem:

• Customers provide IFC files containing complex building information.
• Choosing the right Peikko products requires expert analysis.
• Sales engineers invest time in recommendations, often without immediate sales.

The goal? Automate and enhance the recommendation process with an AI-driven tool that improves efficiency for both customers and Peikko’s sales team.

🔧 Our Solution

We built a Blender-based tool that:
    ✅ Visualizes the IFC file as a 3D model.
    ✅ Analyzes the structure and identifies places where Peikko connections are needed.
    ✅ Recommends the best products based on the structure and Peikko’s catalog.
    ✅ Provides an AI assistant to answer customer queries with real-time contextual knowledge.

🏗️ How It Works

1️⃣ 3D Visualization & Analysis

• The IFC file is imported into Blender to reconstruct the building model.
• The system analyzes structural elements to detect areas where Peikko connections are necessary.
• Key points are highlighted for the customer to explore further.

2️⃣ AI-Powered Product Recommendation

• The user clicks on a highlighted area, and the system suggests suitable Peikko products.
• The recommendation is based on building specifics, Peikko’s product catalog, and industrial manuals.

3️⃣ AI Chatbot Assistance

• The customer can interact with a smart AI assistant to:
  • Ask about specific product details.
  • Understand why a recommendation was made.
  • Get installation or compliance guidance.
• The chatbot uses MeiliSearch based knowledge base to provide context-aware responses.
