Project Description

A reference database for rolling bearings that comply with GOST and ISO standards. The project includes technical documentation, specifications, classification, designation systems, equivalents, selection recommendations, and training materials.

Purpose and Status

• Purpose: Unified production knowledge base for GOST/ISO bearings for training, selection, sales, and automation
• Application areas: Engineering calculation and selection, commercial proposal preparation, training of managers and engineers, Bitrix24 integration and automatic marking decoders
• Update rules: Data is taken only from offline-extracted materials; numerical values are transferred without rounding; each update records changes in GOST, ISO, Equivalents, Brands, and Tables sections
• Sources: DOCX files (see details in extracted knowledge index)
• Database status: Production — structure and data are aligned with extracted sources, ISO/GOST/Equivalents/Brands/Tables sections are ready for use
