Innovate Viable Products, Faster

SourcePilot helps you to engineer more products faster with the engineers you have

SourcePilot is the AI-native system for product engineering

From requirements to functions, architecture, physics, component selection and the engineering BOM to one connected model, instead of a chain of documents and hand-offs. Built for complex, variant-rich industrial products, and for teams on a document-and-PLM tool chain who never adopted MBSE.

SourcePilot platform

It does the engineering. From requirement to a sized, traced eBOM, ready for CAD.

Most tools with a system model organise the engineering data you already have. SourcePilot does the calculations: it builds the physics, sizes the parts, checks candidates against the constraints and hands detailed design a real eBOM. Every job runs on a branch of the whole design.

Requirements written to the EARS pattern, each with acceptance criteria and a verification method, then flowed down to the subsystem that owns it.

Versioned like code. Checked against physics. Traced to the requirement.

Every change lives on a branch.

Variants, change requests and optimisations each run on their own branch of the validated main model, with a complete history of every operation. Compare, review, merge.

Physics in the model. Not after it.

Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and thermal behaviour and the control loops between them are modelled in one energy-based formalism. Components are sized to the requirement and a design that breaks the physics cannot be expressed in the model.

Every part is traced to why it exists.

Each line of the eBOM traces back to the requirement that demanded it, and a requirement only passes when a real, committed part's real specification satisfies it. Change the requirement and you see exactly what has to change downstream.

Three jobs your engineers do every week. One model.

Product variants and customer orders.

Spin up a new variant, or a customer-specific configuration, from a validated design. It inherits the architecture and shared components of the parent; only the deltas are re-engineered and re-validated, with a side-by-side diff to the parent.

Change requests.

Implement a change on its own branch, as shown above: see the full ripple before the change board meets, re-check, merge. Some products go through hundreds a year; each one now leaves a record of what changed and why.

Optimisation.

Set the goal, such as −10% cost, max 800 g or +15% runtime, and see which parameters actually move it, with sensitivity and robustness before you commit.

Your components. Your rules. One traced eBOM.

Built on your own component database.

SourcePilot connects to your component libraries, existing configurations and accredited supplier lists, and selects from them first. For each physical part it proposes candidates with their specifications, compares them against the requirement and the physics, and shows why. You choose.

Designed to your criteria from the start.

Standards, regulations, platform reuse rules, sourcing location and supplier policy are taken in at the requirement stage, so the design is engineered to them rather than checked against them afterwards. Preferred and approved parts stay preferred by construction.

The eBOM is an output. Not a spreadsheet.

The implementation-ready engineering BOM is drafted from the model, with part number, specification and source on every line and a trace back to the requirement that demanded it. Review, edit, export to your PLM.

Where SourcePilot delivers value

For complex, multi-domain, variant-rich products.

  • New Product Variants

    A new power class, market or configuration from a validated parent; only the deltas re-validated.

  • Change Request

    Field issue, obsolete part, new standard, customer ask: ripple computed, re-checked, merged.

  • Cost and Performance Optimisation

    Goals and constraints on the system model; ranked parameters, sized components.

  • Engineer-to-order

    Customer-specific machines, stations and systems engineered from the platform model.

  • Component Replacement

    Obsolescence or supplier change: substitutes found with cited specs, checked against the physics.

  • New Product Introductions

    From customer requirements to a first implementation-ready eBOM, fully traced.

hello@sourcepilot.ai
What types of products is SourcePilot for?

Complex, multi-domain products with variants — anything with mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, thermal or software content engineered to requirements: power tools, pumps and valves, machine tools, robots, automation stations, HVAC and energy equipment, rail subsystems.

How reliable are the results?

SourcePilot does not guess. Requirements are checked against INCOSE rules; the architecture and components are checked against system-level physics and typed interfaces; a requirement only passes when a real, committed part's real specification satisfies it; and every proposal is staged for your review before it merges. What you get is traceable and reviewable, not a chat answer.

What about restricted or dangerous products?

SourcePilot is an engineering tool for industrial products. Use for weapons or otherwise restricted products is prohibited under our terms, enforced in the product, and reviewed with enterprise customers as part of onboarding.

Can I set standards, certification and supplier criteria as requirements?

Yes. Standards, target-market certifications, accredited supplier lists, sourcing location and platform reuse rules are entered at the requirement stage and applied when SourcePilot sizes and selects components — so the design is built to them rather than checked against them afterwards.
