How does one know not to pile all their food onto a steel utensil and shove it in the microwave? Safety instructions! You might even have designated microwave-safe bowls, which are meant specifically to prevent a hazard such as setting one’s house on fire.
Companies can only relay this kind of crucial information about safety protocols to their customers when they have it. Companies are, therefore, provided with Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), which are large PDFs that contain information on safely handling hazardous products.
Not only are SDSs legally mandated in many cases, but they also provide critical information in terms of how the products can be used safely.
Companies, however, do need to parse out key information that is relevant to their customers from these large PDFs. Typically this document has multiple sections, and the seller needs to extract the correct code for the product. This needs to be easily accessible to all stakeholders involved in storage, transportation and handling of this product.
Since this process is largely conducted manually, companies might risk delays in freight time, which might lead to a domino effect of delays. With dataX.ai’s PDF Extraction tool, this process is automated for each SKU, and can be conducted efficiently, with a drastic reduction in errors. Moreover, our tool structures this data such that it is easily accessible and comprehensible by both humans, and by software.
